<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> I have owned a few in the past and currently have one in my clean room. The unit is well made and not very troublesome. Parts availability, (always a concern) is sketchy and slow since the machine is made
in France and represented by a third party (Semco Engineering) In Texas. I share your concern about the operating system but have received good service with software issues in the past. The software itself is quite intuitive and easy to train people on. The
graphical “real time” feature is a big plus for troubleshooting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
