18L Autoclave avoid if you're not an electrical engineer
Long story short, it failed after ~50 cycles. Mechanically it seems pretty solid. Welds look good, there's both an independent thermal shutoff and independent temperature/pressure steam relief valve, which is surprising but nice.
The electronics inside are a dumpster fire. Typical back alley Chinese grade. All of the relays are used, scratched to heck and certainly pulled from some e-waste. They sanded down the part numbers on many of the ICs so you don't have model numbers. The control software itself has bugs where solenoids get left in strange states if you cancel and restart a run vs power cycle.
On mine, the pfet high side switch for the steam relief solenoid failed short. That one did have a model number, and they're using a 30V rated part on an almost 28V reactive load, which is terrible engineering. Only took $0.30 to fix, but I'm probably going to completely replace the whole control board given how badly its designed.
If you're not competent in electronics, I'd say avoid. If you're comfortable troubleshooting fairly simple electronics with no hand-holding, it's a good value.
