No need to research. I did it for you.
I wonder if anyone has spent as much time researching and trying out glue guns as much as I have? I think I have a glue gun in my hand more than a pen some days. I have owned all types and sizes and have found the need to use different ones, depending on the project I am working on. Whilst it isn't that big of an issue, if I want to take my craft projects to a friend's house or on the road it is extra things to pack. I wanted to find an all round glue gun that would work just as well on paper as it would on fabric. Also be just as sturdy holding wood and accurate to glue on small items.This has become my holy grail! The two temperatures allow me to control how hot I want the glue depending on the project. It heats up pretty fast and doesn't constantly drip. I love that the stand actually works! The others I have all have stands but not all of them are sturdy and keep the gun standing. It is lightweight and the nozzle allows you to be extremely accurate with how much you dispense and where you dispense it.Another bonus is it seems to cool down a lot quicker when unplugged than some of my others. It also fits nicely in my craft box as it isn't too big and bulky.An absolute 'must', not only for crafters but for everyone. Hot glue is great for fixing so many things and this is a great item to have in your tool kit.

Easy-to-use and worked perfectly
I liked the way the sticks fit the unit. There was just the right amount of heat. The unit cleaned up very good with no stuck sticks. Very easy to maneuver and did an excellent job.

Excellent Value; Some Advice For Beginners
I love this glue gun; there aren't many other models that have two temperatures and a thin detail nozzle. I use hot glue extensively for my projects, and this is very reliable and easy to use. However, if you're using it more than two hours at a time, give it a break on low heat or leave it unplugged for about ten minutes; this will prevent it from overheating and burning the plastic on the inside. Overall, this is a great value, and is more safe and convenient than having two separate guns for low and high heat. It's comfortable to hold and I thought the stand was very convenient; it folds back to get into small spaces. Although you can dispense glue for up to 5 minutes after unplugging, I prefer to keep it plugged in while I'm working for my larger projects, since I use it very frequently (but always unplug it when you're done!).If you're inexperienced with glue guns:-Always use the right heat for your material; fabric, felt, florals, and paper have a low tolerance for heat, so low heat is better.-Everything bonds better on high heat; but be warned, it gets VERY hot. It will start smoking when used on more delicate materials and papers, so use caution; working with a fan nearby on a low/medium setting will help it cool faster. Always let glue cool for a few minutes before touching it; you could get second-degree burns if you touch while it is still hot.-Remember that if you're pressing pieces together, some of the glue will seep through felts and fabric, so always use a piece of cool metal or a thick piece of cardboard to press pieces together if you don't want to burn your fingers. I use an craft knife handle (no knife in) as a press; it won't stick to the metal after it's cooled, just be sure to pull it away sharply to prevent it from trailing on the end. If you want to cool your glue quickly or prevent it from sticking to your metal piece when you remove it, keep a bowl or cup of 1/2 water and 1/2 ice nearby and let the metal knife handle sit in it. It will get very cold; dry it throughly with a paper towel and after dispensing your glue, you can press it down to flatten the dab of glue and cool it at the same time.-If you get burned, never use milk or butter to sooth the burn; these relieve pain, but it will not let your skin heal; always use cool water and antibiotic/burn cream and bandaging.-Keep the area around your glue gun clear and never let the cord hang or sit where someone could trip over the cord or a child could pull it down or use it! Children could very easily burn themselves on the barrel or nozzle! Also keep away from pets!-Protect your surfaces and make cleanup easy: keep a couple pieces of paper or a small sheet of aluminum foil under your glue gun to catch drippings. It can come off fairly easy on plastic and metal tables, but may damage wood ones. I see a lot of people complain that it leaks glue out of the nozzle when not in use, but frankly, it's not a big deal. The hot glue is melted in the barrel and the tip is pointed down. I don't really see it as such an inconvenience, all you have to do is pull it up or rub the nozzle gently against the table. Never lay it on its side to prevent drippings.-"Fly-aways" are long, almost web-like pieces of glue that trail on after dispensing. You can help reduce these by briefly rubbing the nozzle near the spot you dispensed the glue or on a piece of paper or metal nearby; you can then pull it off easily after the glue dries (it will keep going if you pull while the dab is still hot).-If you're having trouble pushing the glue through with the trigger, it may not be hot enough. You can heat it quickly by setting it to high heat for a few minutes, then back to low heat for a little under one minute.

Gets hot fast!
Love how you can set 2 temps— pushes a little or a lot out depending on how much you press. Works like a charm. The reason I gave 4* is it does not have an on/off button so I have to unplug it. I have forgotten twice now, which makes it hazardous. Otherwise, barely drips and works great.

There are just so many pros to this little bad boy I'll try and not miss any
Where has this beauty been all my crafting days??There are just so many pros to this little bad boy I'll try and not miss any!1. I just can't get over the cordless feature! yes of course it has to be plugged in to heat up, but once its finished the possibilities are endless! I can no get in those hard to reach spaces without having to wrap the cord all around or fight with it to keep it out of the way! Not to mention how much easier it makes getting big projects done! I no longer have to set down the hot glue gun and rearrange whichever project i'm working on just make sure the gun will reach where I need it to!2.This puppy heats up with the quickness! I'm never left waiting too long for this gun to heat up, which means more projects actually see their finishing day! hooray for that! haha3. the two temp option is also another big game changer for apparent reasons. I can now finally hot glue just about anything my little heart desires without having to worry about it melting!4. I truly enjoy the size of this gun. Its not so big that when I have to insert a new glue stick that I find myself struggling to keep it together or have a hard time storing or traveling with it. And its not too small to the point of not being able to handle the size of glue stick I want or fall into the abyss of my craft closet and never be found again!all in all this bad boy does just what I want it to and more!
