For almost 2000, and coming from China, I would be buyer beware. To get service, etc., might be difficult at best. For that amount of money I think you can find a more local supplier?

Ive looked around on Ali express I’d really like a enrober. But they’re just mad expensive... I wondered tho if people had luck on there? I’ve never used them so

I agree with Chip, it's a high risk purchase. Not necessarily because somebody is trying to defraud you, but if things break, you might not be able to get any service. So unless you're handy and prepared to fix things yourself (many of us do melangeur repairs ourselves), buying from a reputable supplier with in country service is preferable. Also look for second hand equipment, heaps of good stuff around in USA.

I would like to find a replacement for my Rev2. I think the capacity is a bit too the small site. Any suggestions??

Union Machinery has a lot of used stuff in the US. They have some on their website, but my understanding is that they have way more that isn't on their site. If you can't find what you're looking for, maybe give them a call or email. www.unionmachinery.com

I saw the link I bought 2 tempering machine from alibaba + enrober, they work fine and easy maintenance not much complications, however the down side of those machines is that you'll need to keep stirring the wheel doesn't enough to move the hall chocolate flow. not perfect machines for professionals! plus the enrober blower isn't measured properly to blow the chocolate on top of the centers. let me know if you have more questions! I just joined and happy to be of an assistant.
