PROS: Attached stand. ON/OFF switch! Super compact, nozzle fits well in small cracks. Comes with a TON of glue.
CONS: Stand occasionally gets caught behind trigger. Doesn't interfere with function at all, but have to pull trigger to get it out.
I got this glue gun to wrap up my Halloween costume, I would have gotten my money's worth if it had broken straight afterwards, but with two sticks Ive done that, fixed my sandals, fixed a loose desk leg, and a loose drawer, & its still going strong.
I'm a big multi-tasker this is often useful in my life, however with a traditional glue gun, this is not a good thing. Most projects you would use one for will have you working with pretty flammable materials, a traditional gun plugs in to power the gun, then heats up for the entire time you have it plugged in, and many don't feature the nice little stand this one has, so putting it down hastily to go finish your cooking, not such a good plan.
THIS gun, however, has an on/off switch! This simple but uncommon addition makes all the difference! Its stopped me from burning my house down once already.
Hope that was helpful, I recommend thoroughly.
This heats up fairly quick. My first impression was that it was lighter and thinner than I expected. (You can see in my photos a few views). I have pretty tiny hands, but still feel like my hand encompasses it all. There is a small metal stand that helps keep the glue gun standing up to keep the metal nozzle from resting on surfaces, however, it only keeps it approximately 1/4" off of the surface. Also, since the "kickstand" is about as thick as a paperclip, it is very movement sensitive and will easily knock over if your table or surface isn't 100% solid and still. I personally don't mind, as I use silicone hot glue gun mats to protect my surfaces. so I can lay down my glue guns when I'm working quickly.
I have also included a photo of my other glue guns for comparison. My pink one is a small $3.00 one from the craft store cashier's counter that I grabbed when I let a friend borrow my heavier duty blue one on the right side of the picture.
It is great that this comes with 25 glue sticks. These particular glue sticks are too large for my small glue gun and too small for my large glue gun.
The trigger is easy to use, and it feeds glue just as well as any other typical cheap or pricey glue gun. There is an on/off switch, which is a wonderful feature for glue guns, so that you don't need to unplug them every time you want to turn them off. The swivel feature was not really helpful for me, as it was not turning easily. It actually is very tight and doesn't move as freely as I had hoped.
I do wish the kickstand was a little more sturdy or for the hand grip to have some sort of flat standing support, like my larger glue gun has. The cord is not very long, so you'll need to make sure you're working fairly close to a wall outlet.
This glue gun seems to be similar in comparison to my $3.00 small glue gun (the pink one in my pictures). Although this glue gun has a couple more features than my pink one, the materials are cheaper quality than my smaller glue gun, and may not last quite as long. As for value for price, I am writing this review with the Prime Price tag at $10.99. I feel as though the glue gun & 25 glue stick combo would be more appropriately priced at $6-$8. This would be great for a starter glue gun or for small projects, but if you are going to be using a glue gun often and for many projects, I would suggest investing in a heavier duty one than this.

This glue gun is perfect for the price! You wil not be sorry if you purchase this mini glue gun. it also has an on/off switch. Love it!
Great little gun
Easy to use, doesn't stand with long piece of glue sticking out of it, but that's because it is small. I love this thing! Heats up quick, glue doesn't keep pouring out of it either. If you need a glue stick for the occasional project, look no further! It also comes with a TON of glue sticks! I have made 2 wreaths so far and it worked great!

Excellent glue AND glue gun! I use my glue gun for embossing seals, as well as many other projects, and this small hot glue gun is perfection, and cools down quickly, too. On off switch is great! The coloured glitter glues are awesome for crafts, you can use them for adding feathers to beads, and you can also emboss and paint on the coloured glue (please see my photos). Wonderful product and great colours!
Great glue gun! Works as advertised. Sometimes I forget to flip the switch on, and wonder why it is not heating!
This glue gun works, it melts glue sticks and forces it through the tip so you have control. HOWEVER, I have some issues with it. The glue sticks (which are definitely the correct size) don't line up at the entrance of the barrel so when I try to force one through with the trigger, it gets stuck on the edge of the tube and I have to shift it slightly. It's really annoying if you go through many in one project like I do. Also, once the glue does get through and you push some out the tip, it tends to keep dripping out the end at a much faster rate than any I've had in the past. It's a fine gun for the price I guess, but I would recommend it.
This seems too small but it's perfect size. The gun doesn't leak like others do and it works well. I have had it for 2 months know. Worth the price plus shipping and delivery was fast.
The glue gun is smaller than it feels by looking at the pictures. I have been using a larger glue gun and I can feel the noticeable difference in the size of this gun as I hold it in my hands.
The nozzle is pretty long and it definitely helps as compared to other brands with stubby nozzles. The ON/OFF switch is a real relief!
Other reviewers have mentioned that the stand interferes with the trigger, but the gun I have does not seem to have this issue. I'm nbot sure if there has been a modification to the stand or the trigger or both.
What concerns me is the high rate at which you can expend the glue sticks. I used it for one application and the glue stick has disappeared into the gun. This is something you need to watch out for.
