Paint Stripper recommendation!

Can anyone recommend a good paint stripper?

I have an old desk that was given to me about... gee, 26 yrs ago! I've always intended to strip what looks like about three thick layers of paint, and then stain & finish the wood (looks like a nice dark brown). I've seen something advertised on TV that claims to be non-toxic, no fumes, no masks or gloves necessary. If it really works as well and as fast as they claim, I'm sold! Has anyone here used it (can't think of the name right now)? If not, what have you used, that you liked?

Thanks,
Maggie
