Why is this tank so much cheaper than other brands that hold 10 liters of LN2? Is it of lower quality, will it not last as long, or hold as well?

My research showed that this tank would fit my purposes. That's all I needed to know.

I don't know why it is cheaper other than it is made in China. It holds very well and has a low evaporation rate. A full bottle that we left alone and never touched lasted over a month, maybe closer to two. I would recommend this dewer.

It doesn't hold 1/2 cc straws of semen.. That's why I sent it back, the can's are way to short!

I was wondering the same thing when I bought it. Our clinic has had it in service for almost 6 six months now and I am happy to report that it has met all specifications and performance promises. It was an excellent purchase considering the wide variations in price. It's well made and is a quality piece of equipment.

I bought one for 800 dollars. Got this one as a back up. Turns out I'm using this one as my main one. Very good quality. Hold the nitrogeon better than the 800 one.

It appears to be of high quality and supply lasted longer than 60 days after fill with some usage. I did access it 5 or 6 x over the several months. I bought in preparation to reopen medical office. There have been no quality concerns by me .

It's just because it's an overseas brand. The company that I work for decided we would try one due to price. The unit still holds liquid nitrogen very well. Full container will hold for 3 weeks with very little loss. Maybe 20% over that time period.

A WHOLE lot cheaper. You can get approximately 64 servings out of the 4.9 lb. The RTD's are a little better tasting sometimes but not worth the cost difference IMO. I would buy a small container 1st to see if you like it. If you like it then buy the big container to save money. I mix mine with Almond Milk (Original) and it's really good. You can mix with water and regular milk if you like.

I have been using the same aluminum tank, since 2008. Never had an issue with the tank, check valve are anything. I just bought a 2014 duramax and installed it in that one. It is a little banged up from putting 4 wheelers and things in and out of the bed. But traveling up to 800 miles pulling and 1400 miles without filling up is worth having it. Gravity feed is great. Also if you leave the valve open when you fill the aux tank, you may lose your vapor space in your truck tank and your sending unit will show empty until you drain the aux tank or create a vapor space back in the truck tank, no big deal. Get it. I have been using the same aluminum tank, since 2008. Never had an issue with the tank, check valve are anything. I just bought a 2014 duramax and installed it in that one.

'72 Super Beetle. I have bought two of these tanks. Mind you, they are Stainless Steel plated. To give them a longer life, I had them clear coated. Also ... I only run ethanol free gas in my cars, as a normal tank, if it sits, will be eaten up by regular gas. If you drive it daily, a regular tank will last 20 years. These tanks, however, are excellent quality and I am very pleased with the two I purchased.

We have had ours going, every day and night, for over a year. Still very good, with minimal care. We do, however, have to empty it twice a day. The capacity of the hold tank is not as large as we need. BTW-Our basement does not leak but it is an old stone wall basement with concrete floor.

The little tank that is displayed is disposable. It does NOT come with a tank. They are the same tanks used for camp stoves, lights, etc. You can find them in any number of places (they are about $3-4 in my area). You can also buy an adaptor hose to hook this up to the larger, 20lb propane tanks you find on propane grills.

If you're looking at the one rated for 10 gallon, it's medium. I was getting the 12 pack unassembled. If you want to go cheaper, get some quilt batting (100% polyester) , and add a satchel (reusable) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00176AZ8S?cache=8e3be96cf94c62d77a34666f665837f8π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1414349575&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1 filled with charcoal on top

I used it heavily for 6 or 8 months, and it's been stored for the next 6 or 8 months, so I can't say for very long term use. However, one of the reasons I chose it is that small parts can easily be replaced, rather than junking the whole thing as you'd have with a cheaper brand. I've also used others' sealers like FoodSaver and I can tell you this one is much better quality.

Check the reviews on Amazon, according to those, the Rheem is the one to go for, by 2stars !!Also, it isn't rocket science, its a lined insulated tank ... the real problem is how careful is it delivered and installed, a bit of manhandling then will destine your wh to an early recycling. I got my rheem in feb this year and its great

This easily/consistently keeps my 10G tank at 78-80F. Should easily suffice for a 1G tank. You could go w/ less wattage but I don't recall saving much $ over a smaller one.

My present 50ml size has lasted me 2 and 1/2 months and still not quite empty. I use it 2x daily and sometimes more if needed. It is really cost efficient

Thanks for the answers. With current prices it is actually less expensive to order the standard tanks vs the XL size.Standard .77¢/ml vs. XL .86¢/ml.

We use just the small 1 lb. tanks. Lasts quite a long time. you can buy adapter and use a 3 or 5 lb. tank but we never found it necessary and would be just one more thing to carry in our motorhome.

I have been using theses filters for ever, I would suggest moving up to one size bigger, the larger has an extension tube that comes with it, this one only goes about 6" into the water. When it comes to filtration, bigger is better if you have room, the larger has 2 chambers/holds 2 media inserts, you will be much happier and the tank will be much cleaner, and there isn't a lot of difference in the cost.

I dont know why its cheaper, prices definitely vary depending on brands and sizes of supply. I also haven't used a more expensive brand but I can tell you that this brand has worked for me. It has dramatically suppressed my appetite without side effects which has made dieting easier and I have been losing weight. Inexpensive doesn't always mean lesser quality!

I started with 6 weeks long time period in my 60 gal tank, per bottle.Well, in 8 months time, my aquatic jungle has been harvested 3 times. My tank is 24 inches tall, and I had lillies growing ouy of the top. More plants....more CO2 I got another for a smaller tank and uses 6 times more due to a miniscule leak. :(. And they are expensive. I am a ruralite and am dragging my feet to get into town for a better setup. It may be a good "Starter" setup. BTW, the "leaker" valve on a 10 gallon moss shrimp tank, goes thru 6 times faster than my "jungle" 60 gal.....IMHO, the "20" is a piece of junk as well....Fluval needs to start over and do it right.......

Yes! I have two running at the moment for over a month at 1bpm and I think I will get another month out of them. I purchased the 20ozCO2 tanks from Amazon - they are a good deal. The combination of C02 tank and regulator by aquatic work well.
