So easy to use. Heats up super fast. Was simple to assemble, only downfall I have found is that all though instructions show suction cups on front leg area, there were not any suction cups. Machine does have stabilizers but when you swing top around it gets heavy in back so the machine leans back. I have found no issues with even distribution of heat. I use stabilizers to balance with top closed or swung back and just keep a small block wedge under front part where suction cups would be so that when I press handle down the machine doesn’t tilt forward with my pressing handle locked. Other than that it is stable and has not fell over. Would buy again and totally recommend!!
