I have the Chocovision machine - the Revolation I. It's getting a workout
right now, as I make goodies for the neighbors. It has some glitches -
sometimes it needs to be re-started - but all in all, it is fine for my
purposes. I make chocolate candies for my family and friends, in limited
production amounts. I can melt a pound of chocolate in it, provided I dont'
try to put it all in at once. It will temper the chocolate, producing lovely
shiny chocolate coatings. My favorite part is that I can put my chocolate in
to melt, and I don't have to watch it every second. It's also easy enough to
use that I make chocolates more frequently, and my children can help.

It is by no means a professional grade machine, but I'm not expecting
professional results. Probably the only thing I don't like about it is how
loud it is... so we just crank up the holiday music louder.
