We have 2 Shandon Excelsiors. We absolutely love them. Great processing and the time saved by not having to rotate reagents is wonderful. We have had very little problems with ours. One is 6 years old and the other is 1.5 years old. The older one has had a few problems that we have attributed to the move (when we moved from an old facility to a new one). The new one hasn't had any problems. Hope this helps.

I would love to have opinions on the following processors - Leica ASP300 S, Shandon Excelsior ES, and Tissue-Tek VIP 6. Obviously, reliability is the utmost concern. I would also like to know from those in the New England area how service is for any of these processors.
