[Histonet] thermo excelsior es

[Vanessa Avalos]

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.
