I have seen an "iRoast-2". Does anyone have any experience with them? Im looking to upgrade from using a popper.

Re: i-roast 2

I have had one for 2+ years.  Easy to use, good results.  
Some disadvantages:
* VERY load loud machine ("i-roar")
* limited to about 150g per roast
* tends to have limited life, about 400 roasts according to some; 2 - 2.5 years according to others
* difficult / expensive / impossible / not worth the hassle to repair

However, many buy another i-roast 2 when the first machine fails. (Other move to a drum roaster: Behmor, Gene, Hottop.)
