I am in love with the Excelsior from the standpoint of hands off daily
maintenance. Waste paraffin is pumped into a container with a liner, you let
it solidify and remove waste in the bag for easy disposal. Pour a couple bags
of paraffin pellets in and walk away. Take a bottle of waste alcohol or xylene
the instrument has pumped into off and replace it with a new bottle. Excelsior
will aspirate the new fluid on the next run. You don't even have to pour into
another container. The Excelsior takes the fluids right out of the
manufacturer's bottle. It is so simple! If you can read, that's all you need.
The screen prompts everything. I also find my solutions last longer.

The excelsior is getting rave reviews from folks I know that use it.
The University of Miami just ordered a few of them from my
understanding. Might want to call there and ask their opinion.
Personally, I think Sakura is losing ground and for good reason. We
use exclusively Thermo branded equipment here. STP420 and Pathcentre.
Both are great.
