Everything i've read on american forums, says that
the videos are very misleading, they are not as quick
to set up as they claim. And one person who had one
regularly got drying times of 12 - 24 hours  :o

Classic American mix over over-engineering and under-performance.

These things have been around for ages, if they were so revolutionary they would be as popular and widespread as a portable & wand, wouldn't they ;)

Leave the yanks to it :)

I contacted them a while back about these.

There is no 240volt model as they cant source a pump in that voltage.

You could run it off a transformer I suppose.

Over the years I have bought all sorts of crap that looked good  in brochures or videos or were heavily oversold by individuals.
If you are always looking for better ways of doing things it is an easy trap to fall into. A lot of distributors will lend thing to test and I think that this is always going to be the best way to try something out.
