Thank you! Good point, I will ask. Must be one of the big companies in China is pumping this model out and it's being sold under a bunch of names, ranging from $550 to double that...But I could not find a review on it anywhere.
There's a 5L version that does have a YouTube video and they said it was holding up great under daily use in a lab, for over a year. I think about $900 was the lowest price I found on the 5L...But it is nicer! plus I would have to buy glass for the 2L model that will be at least $35 (for the 2L flask) putting me at $600. I guess I'd be buying the flask 2l flask either way!
There are a bunch of used higher end models available, most without glass. My thought was the cheap one will get me started and if it works out, I can upgrade in time, and maybe have some glass leftover.
Here's the 5L model
