Nice article. thanks for sharing!

When I saw the roaster last spring at SCAA in Seattle one of my concerns was tear down and cleaning.....? It will be nice to see later reviews after the roaster has been used for a longer period of time and someone has gotten into the guts for cleaning....

All in all is looks like there might be a nice new alternative for home roasters!?

Thanks Jim. It looks more robust now.

Aillio just announced that pre-order will be ended on Jan 10th.

Congrats Yasbean!

So exciting. I hope the dream is true and it lives up to the hype. I see your in michigan. would you be willing to demonstrate the machine for members local to you? I live in philly so to far for me but others might be interested?

Oops!  I forgot to update my profile.  I moved to NorCal over a year ago.  Sorry!

If I were to preorder one, do you think there would be a roasting advantage in ordering it for 220v instead of 120v?

Order 220, less power consumption.

Plus one!

More power is always better.

So, do you intend to hardwire it, or put a special plug on it?

[kelppaddy]

Running a dedicated 220v circuit and changing the plug to fit it if necessary would not be a problem.  After studying their site, I see now that there would be no advantage to choosing 220v over 120v AC.  The roaster is set to run at 1500 watts no matter if the voltage is 120v or 220v.  It will draw just under 7 amps if wired for 220v and just under 13 amps if wired for 120v.  It's the same amount of energy used, 1500 watts regardless of the input voltage it is wired for.

I just bit the bullet and placed my pre-order.     I went with the 220v model as I read in another blog that the electronics run slightly cooler and the fan is a little quieter.
