I have not heard much good about the Shandon processor. For reliability go with a VIP every time. This comes from MANY years in the field. I have never had problems with one.

It no longer is covered by a service contract and things are starting to go wrong with it. We have a Hypercenter XL (ThermoShandon). We are a core pathology lab for a research group. Typically we run @ 1000-1500 paraffin blocks/year, so we are looking at a processor that would meet our needs. We have limited space, so something, size-wise, like the Hypercenter XL would be required. What do most people prefer? If you would like to contact me off-list, my email is below. Thanks!
