The new unit finally arrived today - I'm impressed with the apparent quality of the unit (although I've not started it yet). Feels solid and well-built. My only disappointment so far is that no recipe manual was included. The instruction manual is clearly written, simple and to the point without being verbose.
Here's what you get (instruction manual not shown)
The box will make an excellent storage container
Very nice storage box - contents includes the circulator, power cord, instruction manual (no recipe book)
Set up in a pot
Looks like a standard PC cord
Simple bayonet mount - the slits are water intake, the hole at the bottom is for the water impeller
Heating coil and pump impeller
Min and Max indicators clearly marked on the stainless skirt
Water enters the slits and exits the oval opening at the bottom of the skirt
Screw mount cap removes easily to show the pump impeller - during operation you can direct the opening of the pump to the desired direction
