Pros & Cons
Pros
Gluey is an excellent glue dispenser. Perfect for crafting and for odd jobs around the house. Battery charger takes ages but powers off a usb adaptor such as your phone charger so is convenient.
Two aa rechargeable batteries are supplied. These are supplied, plus a usb battery charger. Comes with 20 glue sticks, batteries and charger. The batteries are rechargable - which is superb.
This new model is lighter at approx 116g with batteries installed. It's lightweight, portable, easy to use and not as clunky as our previous one.
Hot glue pen is a game charger. The pen has a built in green led ring which can tell you when it has preheated. This heats the glue up is seconds - you are literally ready to go.

Cons
Gluey glue pen is a good idea, but it takes too long to heat up. Glue pours out of the pen too fast and it peels off anything rigid. It's not a robust, adult tool and neither is it suitable to give to a child.

Highlights
Quality
I used it to make some of my christmas cards and was very pleased with the results.
There is a wide range of colours available and a selection are supplied with the unit.
I think i might take them out, laminate them and store them with the pen in the drawer.
Price
The price looks a tad pricey at £38.
Packaging/appearance
Everything is included in the packaging including batteries, glue and a battery charger.
First off, full marks to bosch for the minimal packaging this glue gun arrived in!
Just you have to keep refill the glue.
Competitiveness
So much easier to use than a traditional glue gun.
Easy to accidentally turn on, and eats up gluesticks.

The coloured ones were not sticky once dry and went hard

Items were easily pulled apart possibly down to the fact that they had colourant in them

Maybe the coloured ones are not really for sticking things but for decoration though they would still dry hard and chip off of a surface

The fact that i found this a bit fiddly is probably down to me

The push button gets stuck a lot and it is really difficult to clean out to get it moving again

Would be good if it was removable to clean the chamber out properly
