Hi soapies,

Looking for the most efficient oil melter with a easy to calibrate thermometer that will hold 5-10 gallons of oils.

Looking at 13 Gallon (100 lbs) Oil / Wax Tank (Melter) (Heater)http://soapequipment.com/heaters/

or

SoapMelters PRIMO 5 Melting Tank
http://www.soapmelters.com/ProductDetai ... TING++TANK

Does anyone have experience with these companies or melters? If so, how did the company/melter perform? Was there good service, advice, follow up?

Are there any quality used distributor/sellers?

We are interested in tanks that use no more than 600W because they run off solar power. Suggestions? Ideas?
 
The Primo 5 might be ok for melting wax to make candles, but despite Soapmelters claims it is completely unsuitable for making CP or HP soap. PM me if you want specifics. Their customer service leaves a bit to be desired as well.

I have no experience with the soapequipment.com unit, maybe someone else has?
