Hello Forum Members,<br />I have an opportunity to purchase the above, model E15RCD, with very, very low hours and well cared-for. You seasoned forum members: Is there anything quirky or "watch-out-for-this" type issues with these motors that you have experienced and can pass on. Do they have a pretty good reputation reliability-wise? thanxs, Harry

Hi Harry,<br /><br />Bulletproof!<br /><br />Make sure impeller's going well. Better yet - change it unless you know that it has been done recently.<br /><br />Otherwise, thrash it and enjoy it.
