Rhonda I have both a Thermo-Fisher Excelsior and a Sakura VIP6. Both work well but I prefer the Excelsior. There is less hands on time for changing reagents, flushing and cleaning. I did have problems at first with the VIP. Since Sakura replaced the gate valve all has been great. If I need to replace either machine I would purchase the Excelsior. This is just my opinion, I'm sure other out there may disagree with me. Everyone out there in Histoland have a safe, healthy Thanksgiving. Cindy
