New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?

Anyone tried one of these here yet, and your impressions/review, please?

I think I would look to do it with the optional sleeve/heat system myself.

I bought 2 granite tiles at Home Depot (the shiny finished ones, and follow that procedure: heat oven to 200deg, place LP between 2 (room temp) tiles, turn oven off, set the tiles w/LP in the oven and leave it there for several hrs. Remove and test . . . I've done 2 LP's and had perfect results. Cost me $12 I think for the tiles.

It was possible to find a replacement, but would have cost. I tried a less valued record first, and then the one I really wanted to fix. There's no evidence anything was ever done to it (ie the warp, or the fix) .
