What flow rate do you have your Kamoer set at. I need 80ml/min and the kamoer seems to have to run very fast to achive that flowrate.That makes total sense. Especially if you have your masterflex in a remote room (if brushed) or have a brushless model already. Also especially since you travel. Definitely won’t get any debate from me on that. I think my comment was moreso directed toward home bodies like me or people who don’t have a nice masterflex already.
I’m one of the ones that got a ridiculously cheap masterflex on eBay. I paid 200 shipped for mine but it’s a brush motor model and is louder than I’d like in my living area. I lived with it for 3 years before I broke down and traded some frags for a gently used Kamoer. I actually preferred a gently used one to verify the power supply and screen actually work (as many of them are duds right out of the box). It’s only been in service for a few weeks but the noise level is so much more preferable now. I have my masterflex sitting right next to it in the equipment cabinet ready to swap back over in an instant if a problem should arise. I wouldn’t sell it, as it is now a point of redundancy for me. I am also interested in a couple Versa pumps as a third level of redundancy should the need arise or for other purposes like amino acid dosing or vodka dosing just to simplify my daily
Hands on tasks. Still waiting another 6-12 months before all the first run lemons have made their way through retailers
