Not heard of them, but it looks identical to the buffalo I have boiling right now.

Cant see anything bad said about it i wonder if like a buffalo it can suffer the cut outs and ned to upgrade the thermal cut out.
Are you getting one ?

Not sure yet BL might be worth a gamble but would need to buy s/s ball valve and hop filter so that would be another 30ish quid. Still cheap for a 40ltr boiler and i would probaly bypass thermal cut out straight away

I bought this one and its the same as buffalo. It started to cut out even considering that I was cleaning element after every brew, so I switched thermal fuse and temp control switch and its boiling fine now
