Well I've been getting to grips (testing) with the Behmor for a few weeks now, and gotten several roasts under my belt at different weights and profiles. There is still more for me to learn about it, but I think I have a reasonable grasp of its capabilities now.
My only other roasting experience is the iRoast2, I haven't used a Hottop or Gene, so can't compare to them.
Perhaps if there are specific questions I can answer them, but broadly speaking I've been enormously impressed. One concern I had was whether the unit would be able to roast a full 1lb, as some of the US forums claim it underpowered. I found no such problem, and I reached 2nd crack on a full 1lb well short of time.
The cooling is as described in the US - somewhat slow. When I reach the desired roast level though, I hit cool AND open the front door. This greatly speeds the cooling, room temp air rushes into the machine. The consequence of this is that smoke and a small amount of chaff get out into the room. I think it's worth it, but you could of course compensate for the coast cool with experience and keep the smoke to a minimum.
The smoke on a full 1lb is comparable to the 150g on the iRoast2. So kudos on that front. Still probably want to crack a window though.
The front door handle had to be changed from the US design to comply with CE regulations. Aesthetically it's not as streamlined as the original, but also because it sticks out more from the unit, it seems to be vulnerable to robust treatment from delivery men.
I stopped roasting coffee because I wasn't happy with the iRoast2. Doing that allowed me to gain a much better appreciation for top end commercially roasted coffee. I discovered it wasn't my technique that was holding back my coffee, I could make excellent coffee using my machine and my skills. Everything didn't taste bitter, burner or baked. With the Behmor I was somewhat expecting a big jump down from the quality I'd become accustomed to. However, the Behmor roasts are closer to the commercial quality than the iRoast quality - much closer in fact.
I think on weight less than 1lb the P1 profile (100% all the time) can run a bit quick and 1st crack and 2nd crack can run into each other. That's not really a design flaw, merely something to bear in mind for an end-user.
This post has turned into a bit of a ramble, so I'll cut it off here. If I have further thoughts I'll post again.
