Randy Sarrow (quality: 5.8)	05.14.2006	Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: Buy it - I beleive this is the best machine in its class

Carl Picciotto (quality: 6.8)	02.06.2005	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Well built, with an integrated thermometer, but loud, and with a temperature controller that could be much smarter at compensating for changing ambient conditions.

Leland Goertz (quality: 8.5)	05.27.2005	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: A well built, quality roaster, capable of producing an exceptional roast.

Len Charleville (quality: 7.3)	04.13.2005	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Well built, easy to use, and produces a quality roast.

Don Ferron (quality: 5.0)	10.14.2008	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Excellent value in a home roaster.

Chris Ward (quality: 5.5)	01.25.2005	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: A coffeegeek's dream: Use the basic settings and get better and fresher roasts than you're used to, or fiddle endlessly in persuit of perfection.

Christopher Keene (quality: 8.7)	01.28.2005	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: The ne plus ultra of home hot air roasters. The most advanced stage in the evolution from popcorn popper to coffee roaster.

Mike Ferro (quality: 8.0)	05.25.2009	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: A very good machine for people who prefer light roasts and who don't use a lot of coffee.

Tom O (quality: 7.6)	08.15.2005	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: The i-roast is a step up from the popcorn popper in the pursuit of the god-shot - or as Homer Simpson would say: "mmmmm- sacrilicious"

Will Smith (quality: 6.5)	05.04.2005	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: A good, albeit loud roaster

David Echelbarger (quality: 7.4)	03.11.2005	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: If you learn to use this roaster as a tool, and not as a set and forget machine, it will meet your needs.

Jim Hill (quality: 6.8)	05.14.2005	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: A very good coffee roaster that can take a while to master.

Alan Hurvitz (quality: 7.8)	03.25.2005	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Plain and simple... if you adhere to a bit of discipline, here's what you get after a bit of trial and error. Consistently GREAT coffee roasted exactly the way you like it. And let's face it, isn't that what this is all about?

Adam Reisner (quality: 6.0)	01.27.2005	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: if you buy one plan on summer roasting or indoor roasting and hunkerdown if you ever need hearthware support.

Craig Shields (quality: 6.6)	01.31.2005	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: A roaster that roasts! Color me amazed!

Wes Howard-brook (quality: 7.0)	07.02.2009	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Why buy a noisy, smokey starter roaster when you can get a Behmor for less than twice the price, which will certainly last more than twice as long and produce much better results.

Peter Jackson	09.13.2007	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: This machine can do an accurate roast profile; I hope it holds up for a long time.

Tom Be (quality: 7.2)	02.08.2005	Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: It works but build quality is poor, I'd rather have spent money on a PID for a popper.

Michael DeCorte (quality: 3.7)	09.25.2008	Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Nice roast, but it is somewhat fragile and you will need luck and patience to get it fixed.
