I'm fairly happy with this item, should be careful not to overheat it but I mainly work with rocks and gems and it needs a lot of cooling and temperature control anyway so it's not usually that big of a deal problem for me! It arrived on time and it was easy for this housewife to get set up, the only other issues is that there were no instructions in English and the pedal is very sensitive to the touch of CNN so it takes a little getting used to. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with a serious hobby!
