No longer having the permanent counter space for the Jobo I found it something of a PIA to set up.

Actually, I think it's easy and handy. I store it in a larger kitchen cabinet and it fits fine with the dump thingy just clearing the front edge of the shelf above it.

If I know I will be developing that evening, I'll take it out in the morning, fill it, and let it heat and stabilize so it's ready when I get back.

The only thing I find inconvenient is emptying it. Now I use a piece of Tygon as a makeshift siphon. I'm thinking of trying some handywork and putting in a small spigot (or whatever the correct name for it is) toward the bottom so it will drain directly into the sink. I'm just a bit leery of doing it, as I don't want to ruin the water-tightness of it.
