The video review:

An innovation ? No sir, a revolution!!!!

Editor's note: The first version of Dotmod's Revo was able to present in a tiny minority of cases (about twenty in the world), overheating problems. However, the manufacturer and the distributors preferred to proceed with a recall to ensure the quality of the product and avoid accidents. We salute the responsiveness of the entire sector and their sense of responsibility. Some food manufacturers should take inspiration from it.

Here we take a look at the modifications made to this second model which has benefited from a brand new super capacitor and which has been tested under all possible stress conditions.
