Similar question on another thread, here my reply...I guess we all sing the praises of the one we have, and I've only ever had one to experience. But I bought my 40l Buffalo a few years ago and it works like a dream. Refitted tap & Bazooka. I did the research and modded the cut-out switch and the fuse (upped, not removed). Still had some cutting out; turned out to be the thermostat topping out, so I moved the temp gauge away from the element and now, on rolling boil, the thermostat clicks about half way through the dial travel, so nowhere near topping out. I should mention that the element, supposedly 2.6 kW, seemed to struggle to reach a rolling boil. In hindsight I was probably being picky, but I did add an extra 1.5 kW element. So if it is working to full wattage, it's a 4.1 kW unit. I could probably get away with running only the main concealed element, but I run both for a rapid start and strong rolling boil, and get 19% boil off in 75 minutes. Clean-up is a doddle. I use just a sprinkle of powdered citric acid in as little water as possible, leave a few minutes, and everything wipes off like new. The pain was the initial modding, but in use it's great.
