LMAO, really???? Not off limits .. If you have it to blow, BLOW IT ! By all means, its yours and I'm not a Democrat that wants to spend, whats yours. I'd love a system that I need dark shades to wear! Its not going to make better, beer... This is a pretty cooler. For the money you can go to herms for better brewing IMO. Why buy a shiny cooler? You bet your rear end I'd drop 20 K at blichmann with out a second thought (I love functional bling). I'm about the beer in the end.. You can make good beer in a pale if you know how to do it. Look at my user name, its not because I converted kegs yet, wish I did at times..
Not sorry for voicing my opinion on a forum I'm not in the cool guy cliques of.. I'm ok with that and ok with speaking my mind, thanks. I'm not the type that needs warm welcomes and butt pats, or envy's others gear at all.
I own a SS product and the welds on said fermenter look done by - a child! function 100% form 77% at best and not what I anticipated looking at all the right photo angles.
They do import pretty kettles, (SS) i have no issues with. Yet, id by blichmanns all day, no issue.
This is a pretty cooler that can't even be drilled to reconfigure for automation making it worth its price. They even market it at those end users in their own words. Im into ERMS I don't see the price point or just flat up the point of this.. Next time i wont comment on something I view as a waste, no worries. If it was more then just a pot cooler, I'd go for it its idea. Sadly, it is what it is.
That's what I meant by bling.. Not that its just pretty(and it is sexy as hell) . Its a pretty cooler that cant be easily modified to reap ITS PRICE POINT. Its a stainless Colman.
--------------------------
As far as vacuum you're 100 % correct right up till you think it cant be done at this price point in china, sadly it can, with profit. These prices are only driven by demand. SS has proved that with their past price jumps.. Order now or add 100+ next month, feel lucky?

Again my side handed comment was not to insult anyone that needs to feel better about dropping big money on anything they like. If you're not robbing jonney for new shoes, who cares.. I surly don't. If you are well, no comment. Well, other then, as long as EBT is not accepted form of payment, HAVE IT lol. I'm not here to make friends, just beer. I don't care about feelings or others opinions of something they, nor I have - in hand- also. This was simply a single opinion of mine, alone based on photos and SS's comments of its target market and description.
To me it clearly reads: Don't have pumps, HERMS or other extras, and never will? Wish to get that ugly plastic cooler out of the brewery? Stop loosing several degrees on your mash ton like we did-
WTH?? Was its lid open? Most of us know that's a lie.. Yet, some accept it. I happen to know better and know marketing even better.
Moving on if you wish to attack me tell me how its not just a bling, cooler. Change my mind! Is it not ? How? Why? Other then its stainless. Yet to see anything like that said. At least the second smear post had facts, thanks!
No one cares what day I made a account here. Do they? heh, why? Maybe im just too old to get it... I only made it to comment on a controller I want to buy. Trolls were cutting up previous versions of it that needed to be sugared up to look at the new one and do what they do cutting up its short falls and protecting my interests. Why I said anything on this topic, I truly don't know. Gladly going back to a fly on the wall after they cut it up or I buy. Most things needed to be said here were said near a decade ago and on the data base to be read, tomorrow. Same gig, different hops, always.
