I love our excelsior. Our previous processor was an ancient VIP. We have had it for over 5 years.
Pros: -You save on chemical if you program your chemicals to rotate based on the first Alcohol quality. It really works, I have tested my alcohols to make sure they were at the correct percentages and they were. -I also run a xylene free process (except for the flush). -We purchase the warranty every year and that includes a any maintenance parts needed, one PM, and labor. -The tech support service does everything they can over the phone before sending anyone out. -We have a local service tech now but if not parts are overnighted and a tech is sent out ASAP if tech support is unable to help you remedy the problem. Cons: - Not much other than I was not able to attend the training class. I know there is much more I could learn from it. - If you are in a building that has frequent power outages the back up battery does need to be replaced more often but that should be included in the warranty. -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Tim Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 6:27 PM To: Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] thermo excelsior es what are the disadvantages and advantages of excelsior ES tissue processor? _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
