I was worried about how affordable it was, but it is actually really nice. I seen comments about the low build quality due to hot glue being on the wire connections, but mine works great. I assume they built it that way in case you need to remove the contacts for heating element. If you are that worried about the hot glue, you could easily solder it if you wanted,it's a very simple circuit. When running it,it is surprisingly quiet. Very easy to clean if you add a little water while still hot. Getting the temperature dialed in took a min to figure out,but once I found the sweet spot it works flawlessly. Super quick, fairly quiet,and pretty easy to use and clean. So far I have only about 5hrs of run time, but it still seems like new. I'll update if anything changes, but as of now it was an awesome investment. All the kids in my life love it. One last thing,they sent an extra fuse,as well as the contactor for the element "on a motorized tool they would be called Brushes" but both seem to be built to last quite a while. I am very happy with this purchase.
