I think this is not a bad product, just a bad price.

I agree that changing temperature is generally not done super often but I would have loved to see a ring adjustment for temperature.

Overall, compared to the competition, I am not sure how much people would be willing to pay the much higher cost just for promise of quality and high heating capacity which is not as big of a edge that iFixit seems to think in my opinion.

But I applaud the effort of trying to make something new and different in a crowded and competitive space.
