Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

March 2010 UPDATE: I am SO VERY glad Amazon allows for editing and changing reviews. After having this thing for just over a year, it has quit working. Research has led me to find out they have VERY poorly made wiring which results in shorting out. Mine was difficult to get started this morning, then it went out completely. It gets power but the heating element is kaput, probably due to wiring issues. Masterbuilt will do NOTHING about this!!!! I am surprised we haven't heard of this thing setting houses on fire from being too close during use. This was a GREAT product when it worked, and was used less than 20 times over the past year since it was new. I humbly apologize for my initial glowing review. This is a BAD product.
