Haha - I had the exact same thought the other day - I've got a bannister I'd liek to strip but not sure about spending that kind of wedge...@Airhead are there cheaper versions?
Tenderloin-
To be fair I wondered whether it would be worth it and I'm stripping victorian paint maybe 20-30 days a year. I've honestly not bought another tool that has made such a huge difference to the process. It's so far ahead of any other method. I guess they'll be cheaper versions around in the future but the cost of the bulbs seems to be the main factor.

Hmmm, except the cheapest one I can find is like £200.
and annoyingly cant find any for rental..
Though I would tend to agree with you on getting the thing that does the job best in advance of future jobs, I'm unconvinced I will strip that much paint in my lifetime...
thanks for the tip, perhaps i'll bite the bullet ;)
