My husband is a long time PAX user, but they kept failing. He's a heavy user, and they didn't hold up. The HR Rogue had good reviews, so I decided to get it. My husband absolutely loves it. He thinks it's way better than either the Pax 2 or the PAX 3. It heats faster, the gauge tells him when it's ready, the battery indicator is great. It's easy to load, and it draws easily. It doesn't gunk up. It's easy to clean. He's had it about a month and loves it.
