I saw this item and decided to give it a try. Now, I normally use low temp because I am a wuss about singeing my fingers. But, the cordless feature and how lightweight it was caught my attention.
Pros:
1. You can use multi-temp gluesticks with this but it IS a high temp glue gun. If you do want a lower temp, either wait a bit after removing it from the base to use it (it will start cooling) or squeeze some on a piece of cardboard and use a toothpick to place your blob.
2. This is NOT a rechargeable glue gun. It is a glue gun that sits on a plugged-in corded power base. You can then take the glue gun off the base (it IS cordless) and use it. When off the power base, it stays very hot for quite awhile.
3. Because there is not a rechargeable battery in the glue gun, it is incredibly lightweight. Basically just a light plastic body holding a gluestick with a trigger.
4. It heats up very quickly and cools down quickly. Allowing you to use it on a project and then quickly store it away.
5. It has the power base attached to a holder with a slick pad (teflon? silicon?) under the tip of the glue gun. You have to use the thing to understand how useful this is. You know how you always have to put something under your glue gun in case it drips? You don't with this one. If it does drip, it hits the slick pad. Once the drop has cooled, you can easily peel the glue off.
Cons:
1. I found that if you use it for a very long period of time (hour+), you might need to let it cool completely down and then start again. It can get a little hot if it just sits for a long period of time. But then that is true of most glue guns.
2. It needs a temperature light. It does not tell you when the glue is at a useable temperature. So do not try to force the glue through before the gun has fully heated. You can test by lightly squeezing the trigger and seeing if it is ready.
It is the same brand as the little dual temp glue gun that I have had for almost 30 years (I could not find my old one at first, so I ordered this one). That original one is still in perfect working order. This one looks like it will last me a long time also (lol - I will probably have to hand it off to someone in my old age).
Give it a try, you will be glad you did.
