350 bucks. It's flipped 7 ft tall. I can't find anything on it online but I bet that's a good deal. I have places I could store it. Don't know about using but store it for now.

What's your thoughts on it.

You're fine with the next step above wall outlet.

All the voltage ratings give you is a way to transport more energy with less thicker copper using the power rule. I can step up the Voltage and deliver twice as much current, without having to upsize my stuff.

Chances are the device itself steps it down even farther than that, to more usable powers.

For 350 I figure its a bargain. When I build I could make a place just for it and never worry about the size of an oven anymore.

well it is a good way to throw away 350 bucks for something thatll get used only a few times.

Coop is crazy, no need to keep questioning his motives.

Hook up an air conditioner to this bitch, dude.

I thought our hot tub was an electric bill zapper. This thing would murder you.

would be a good idea, only if you have time to do some side work.

Wait until your electric bill doubles if you start using that thing LOL.

I actually find it rather interesting... I have access to a bead blast cabinet that can easily fit a wheel and whatnot.

That thing pulls a ton of power. It would have to be installed fairly close to the breaker box or you will be spending more money than the oven is selling for to get it wired in.

I let it run 30min or so at 250. It did make a strange buzzing noise at first but after I turned it off and on again it stopped.

Yeah, I did the math after I made this thread a while ago and it was less then 10 bucks for lots of usage.

I'm pumped!
