Delighted.
Over the years we have had a succession of domestic microwaves, many undoubtedly looking very pretty but all of which have succumbed to metal rot.
We got tired of this financial drain, we reckon the expense of this enforced replacement countered any savings in electricity between microwave and conventional oven cooking, so we decided to go up to professional level and get this microwave.
Absolutely no regrets so far.
Super and what appears to be very good quality stainless steel construction, no stupid rotating table (google exactly why these are fitted in domestic microwaves...) and just two sturdy knobs, one for adjusting over the power range which you can actually fine adjust between the marked settings, and one for setting the timer.duration.
Couldn't be simpler to operate.
Obviously time will tell as to its reliability, and this is a reconditioned model, but provided the electronics don't go, I suspect this industrial level constructed machine designed for use in a professional kitchen environment will plough on doing its thing reliably for years on end, especially when only used in a domestic setting, and yet still remain looking good.
A bargain at the price.

It's an oil can!
It's an oil can!
The idea is you fill it with oil and then squeeze the lever,.and guess what? Yep, the oil comes out of the nozzle.
What else did you expect as you finger pump it, Barbara Eden in her pomp to also appear?
Now to the details...
Yes, generally it works as intended but the construction is somewhat basic.
The alloy casting is rough with plenty of casting flash though a minute with a file sorts that out.
The seal on the assembly to the oil reservoir seems ok, no dramatic leaks or serious weepage though I've had much more expensive oil cans that suffer from this.
The lever to the pump seems very flimsy, a crudely bent sheet metal and seriously cheap and somewhat wonky rivet assembly, so I'm not sure how long it will last and I may well replace this part with something a bit more robust if I can be bothered.
I also expect this part will probably rust and wear quite quickly, but at this price, and if you are happy with basic functionality, you really can't complain.
One final but possibly important point, it's fine with light oils like 3 in 1 or modern general engine oil, but it's really not very happy with any of the heavier viscosity oils. It totally failed to pump morlina 220 gear oil.
But to be brutally honest and to summarise, if you want to save the admittedly little this thing costs, you would be better off instead simply recycling and using a small washing up liquid bottle with a length of tube attached to the nozzle. It won't look as professional, but it will do the job just as well as this.

This fits the Shimano Aero Match XT7
2 of 2 found this helpful This handle fits the old Shimano XT7 Aero Match reel (the 3 ball bearing one). I bought it speculatively in the hope it would and it does! The shaft is maybe about 5 mm shorter than the old single handle, but it seems to tighten up fine, and the handle itself is just fractionally nearer the body of the reel but still has plenty of clearance for the bail arm mechanism.
