Does anyone like them? We think the one we have is malfunctioning, waxing hot and cold, not maintaining temperature. Do we need a new one or is that the way they work?

From my limited use (2x) of renting Capitol Bee supplys, this is not how I observed it working. It did get quite hot and I unplugged it between uncapping and extracting, but it always stayed very hot when plugged in.
I liked it a whole lot better than a cold knife, but would like to see a rheostat be added to control the temp a bit. It seems like one doesn't always need it to be at the hottest temp setting...only with old comb.
Yours might be kaput.

the unit may have a small adjustment screw to set. Maybe a part can be replaced!?

I love my hot knife and it maintains a temp that is hot enough to melt without scorching. It is an old one from my dad from probably 35 years ago. They are not supposed to fluctuate like that. Sounds like a poor one or a broken one.

Do you know what brand it is? I’m about to buy a new one.
Some come with cord mounted thermostats, some have no controls.

You might try a Beesource forum search to get a more diverse answer.
A lot of people seem to like the Maxant Plane (not a knife).

What's bad about the curling capping a layer? I thought it was a good thing.

It’s fine if it drops into the vat, but not so fun if it builds up onto the knife or falls back on to the frame.

Oh, for me it rolls right down the frame as you go. I do like my bigger capping vat from capital,bee that replaced the smaller circle one that fits in a bucket from my dads old stuff. I drop way less on the floor.
