I have had one for a short time and I really like mine. I bought the quilt binding tip to use on it. Works great. To make double sided tape, just put it through the press a second time, but bypass the tip. I haven't found any cons, but I know there are other posts on the board where some say it's not worth the money. I shopped around for a while to find a price that I was satisfied with. Bought it on ebay, but Wal-mart's price is basically the same. They even carry it in my local store.
