Its 1,000 mL stainless-steel vessel holds up to 1 oz of dry herb and anywhere from 250 mL to a full litre of carrier, so one run covers a larger batch in a single cycle.

A cycle starts with a preset, not a temperature you have to guess at. The panel carries eight named modes plus Delay Start on one display. Delay Start postpones the whole sequence, so a batch can finish when you are home instead of when you happen to walk past it.

The eight presets are Decarb, Butter/Oil, Glycerin, Tincture, Gummy, Honey, Quick Wash, and Clean. Butter/Oil is the one most people run: it holds the lower infusion temperature that draws the active compounds out of already-activated herb without pushing the material any further. Glycerin, Tincture, and Honey are for thinner or sweeter carriers, Gummy is for a set product, Quick Wash is the short rinse between batches, and Clean runs the vessel's own wash cycle.

What the stirring changes is where the plant material sits. The 304 stainless-steel blade turns slowly rather than blending, so material stays suspended through the run instead of settling onto the heated base and scorching there. It also leaves the herb in pieces you can drain in one pass, through the cloth draining bag that ships in the box, rather than in particles that clog a filter.

Fill it loosely. The vessel works from 250 mL, so a small batch is fine, but do not load past the marked maximum and do not pack the herb down: the liquid needs room to move around the material for the heat to distribute evenly. A full litre and a full ounce of dry herb in one run is the ceiling, not the target.

The trade for that capacity is floor space. At 8.25 inches wide, 11.5 inches tall, and just over 5 lbs, this is the unit that wants a permanent counter spot rather than a cupboard shelf, and it needs a 120V outlet. The box carries the unit and power base, the stainless-steel vessel, an odor-reduction lid, the draining bag, a cleaning brush, the manual, and a cookbook of 17 recipes.
