Yes for sure when i questioned the numbers the store said there machine was not woking right , the day i took it in the usual guy wasn't there and a lady did the test - i saw the numbers and at the time i didnt question it . It was only after searching here and talking to a few others that i realized the problem and went back to double check

Thanks

Dave
