That was very good info, thks!

My understanding is that with any of the Flairs you have to preheat it, is that true?

So are you getting more consistent shots with the 58 over the Robot despite having to preheat it first?

The Flair 58 has a heating element with three settings - low, medium and high.

No pre-heating needed via running boiling water through it like some other machines. I just turn it to high ten mins before making my shot and its good as gold.

The rest of the Flairs likely require a pre-heat cycle.
