How to move Blogger blog to Wordpress domain...I'm worried.

My understanding is there are two ways of doing this: through a Wordpress plugin that auto migrates Blogger blogs, and manually doing it, which takes some effort.

I have a few questions:

1) Is there a risk of losing link juice?
2) Will Blogger redirect for eternity, or is there any risk at all of Blogger deleting the redirected blog?
3) How easy is this to do?
4) How easy is it to turn it off and revert to the original Blogger blog if things mess up?
5) Since Wordpress is a totally different platform, will the blog come out looking like crap? I'm using Blogger's 'simple' template and I like it a lot. I don't want my site ruined.

Anyone have experience doing this?

    from what i understand is you don't actually migrate your site to wordpress you're just exporting the content of blogger to wordpress, you will lose a lot of link from blogger
    once you turn off your blogger site, because some link like images still link to blogger
    the best way is after importing the content from blogger you have to check all your post from broken link

    I just did this one month ago for a blog with a 5k posts and 25k comments. It went out great!

    I checked a lot of guides and I followed this one: https://rtcamp.com/blogger-to-wordpr...seo-migration/

    It doesn't look like a crap, but in some posts with embeded youtube videos it deleted youtube like inside the embed code.

    If you do the redirects correctly, there is no worry in loosing the linkjuice!

      OK THANKS. That guide is pretty old... looks so complicated.

        It maybe old, but it's working and it's including fix.php guide. Quite important step of the migration.
