Looks like a Grainfather without a pump and recirculation.

so would that be bad?  if it actually worked well at $300 that's pretty good.

 

it does say it has double wall construction (insulation?) so maybe the 120V can get the job done and minimal heating is needed during the mash.

To me, and I will have to look into it more, it is just a 5g BIAB system. I am biased but I would not want 120v for this. If you can get the 240v for $300 then it would be a good way to start.

That could be an advantage. Pumps and recirculation have always seemed like unnecessary complications, until you get to larger batch sizes, to me. Of course, it would make step mashes more difficult.

True, but I like over complicated stuff :)

I'm definitely in the other camp.
