Variable Speed makes this one a winner.

I have other Dremel rotary tools and they have all stood the test of time. I found myself needing slower speeds for some operations and had held off on getting another tool. he very first use convinced me that I had waited too long. The ability to vary the speed for the cutter/abrasive/operation really ups the quality of your work. The newer unit is a bit louder and more vibration prone than older units. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

I bought this about a month ago specifically for my gun smithing hobby. I used the Dremel with the flexible shaft to get into small spots for detailed material removal and I have to say it did exactly what I needed to. As a bonus, I was able to use accessories to polish metal parts and bring out the best finish I have ever done.

Dremel 4000 is a winner

Three of the best features are - the quick release chuck so you do not have to use the wrench changing accessories, the ability to keep rpm constant when working and the increase in power. I also like the quality and smoothness of the tool. It is bigger than my previous Dremel, however once I used it for a while it was no big deal. Small price to pay for the new features. The versatility of this tool can not be underestimated.

Piece of Junk..

Replaced an OLD 400 XPR with this 4000. Don't make them like they 'used to'..
Despite a VERY GENTLE, meticulous Non-Load-Bearing break-in, starting at very low rpm's... the tool has a very erratic rotation.
The few times I've used it since?? I need to BANG the tool just to get the motor turning!! When running, it still is quite an 'irregular' motor rotation.

Quit working within one year.

Got this as a gift for Christmas 2016, but used it for the first time around June of 2017. It quit working in January 2018... just dead when I turn on the switch. So my wife wasted a lot of money on it, unfortunately.
I did some web searches for the problem and apparently this model has a faulty switch.

We'd like to apologize for the tool not working - especially with such limited use. The good news is, the tool does have a two year warranty. We will contact you directly with how to submit the tool for evaluation. Our goal is to help you get back up and running.

Not reliable

I have both the Dremel 4000 and 3000. After about 3 days of short use the Dremel 3000 will only run at the highest speed, but it will turn on and off. The Dremel 4000 worked for about six months of very limited use but now it wont turn on at all. Out of two Dremel rotary tools purchase at the same time only one partially works and the other not at all. It looks as though Dremel quality no longer exists. Will have to look for alternative brand to replace my Dremel tools.
