Love the free shipping on this! Makes this price a bargain compared to some other places I considered ordering from. This unit is the same one that everyone uses and I have no doubts that it wont work flawlessly. I spoke with Jay from Midwest and they use 4 of these in their shop for the last 2 years and have replacement parts available if ever needed. My experience has been 5 stars so far! Happy GROWING! PEace!
I want to leave this review and let you know how helpful Jay was in helping me with all my technical questions in my attempt to hook this unit up in my garage. I am not an electrician but was confident I could hook this up myself. I had an unused 30 amp 220v breaker on my panel and Jay was kind enough to call me back and walk me through the steps on connecting this autoclave up. He also walked me through the process and settings, which were very simple but just make sure you have something handy to convert celcius to farenheight and MPA to PSI. Other than that, Ive used it 3 times and it really cant be any easier, just fill a 5-gallon bucket with filtered water, add your water so it passes the low water sensor, load your baskets, close the lid and once you have your settings inputed it remembers them and its literally one button to start the cycle. Unit is well made and seems like it will hold up!
THESE GUYS KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE MACHINES AND I HAD AN ISSUE AND IT WAS IMMEDIATELY RESOLVED BY ONE PHONE CALL! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN! ESPECIALLY BRIAN AND JAY. YOU GUYS ARE SO HELPFUL!
I purchased one back in January of 2023 and been running this 2-3 times a day, everyday! I just started noticing the heat up time was taking much longer. I contacted Midwest and spoke with their main autoclave tech, he quickly troubleshooted it and suggested I get a new thermostat. What is amazing is they stock all these parts in Chicago and I only paid $44 for overnight shipping! They didnt even charge me for the part! THANK YOU! Replacing it was easy as removing a side panel, unplugging one and plugging the new one in, and tighten with a wrench. 5 mins! It now runs like new! I didnt realize how corroded my old one got! Anyone who is on the fence about where to buy one of these should look no further! Their support and knowledge and the fact that I could get a part next day was MIND BLOWING!
Had a successful cook in our autoclave!!Autoclave!!! The bags come out so much softer than using a Presto on the stove!!!
