Works well, I've gone through about 80 pellets so far.  I would have given it 5 stars except while it very clearly states it is made in USA, the package clearly states it is made in China.  Also Amazon just threw it in the box with two bricks of pellets, the bricks are basically, well . . . bricks, they bounced around, knocked out the end handle plug and broke off the tab.  Since this doesn't effect the function at all it was just an annoyance.  The last time I had something from amazon mis-labeled I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with a gentleman from India that  gave me two stellar choices of A. return it, B. get ten percent back.  I explained that both of these were very inconvenient and I really just wanted what I ordered, I eventually got a better deal from his supervisor.  I decide it wasn't worth the effort this time, maybe next time if I have any doubt I'll just go to the store.  Amazon, pay attention to your write-ups people read them, things like this lose you customers!
