My brew day is not any shorter using this unit, but cleanup is easier. The included chiller is OK but a little slow. Once the batch is chilled to my desired temperature, I am using my own homemade copper chiller. I have a stainless steel tube to circulate around the chiller without splashing.

O let the basket drain for 10-15 minutes and then slowly rinse with the 2 gallons of water I saved back. Once conversion is complete, heat to 168 degF and then lift the grain basket and allow it to drain and change my temp setting to boil. The unit holds the mash temp within +/-1 degF. I added my grains and adjusted pH and got my pump circulating. Since everything is automatic, you don't need to monitor the temperature. I also had time to eat breakfast and drink coffee while reading. My last two brews, I started heating my water and had time to weigh my grains and hops, grind my grain and sanitize my fermenter.
