Don't worry about saying it again. When I was looking at buying a still I was going by feedback of other people.
Nothing worse than buying something over the internet and it's not quite as good as the picture.
With 5Star the pictures don't do them justice. You need to feel the weight of them :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I'm just glad I found this site and didn't purchase a HBS rig.

Just quietly .... I had a ball making my own 4 inch bubbler ... took me about 6 months...

And now I look at the 5 star range and wish ....... it would have cost the same, and the unit would have been vertical, and I wouldn't be chasing leaks, and I wouldn't be wondering about the need to polish modules, and the quality would have been absolutely wonderful (instead of "it will do")....

Look and listen!!!

If your want to spend the time and effort ... make your own still... it's not like you're lacking advice on this site, is it???

If you want a still that will work from day one, and produce great results ... look at the 5 Star range ... they don't just look good you know!

p.s. I don't gots one ... but I wishes I did!!!
