Dark and shiny means they are quite oily, oily beans could gunk up the grinder on these models!

i've never adjusted it and we love it!

over 2500 drinks made now!

@@mylesoffgrid Thanks well we gotten used to it in the week we have been using now my only small complaint is that coffees with milk in them don't come out as hot as I would like them to be this is going to be a problem in winter since it'll get cold like in a couple minutes and we find the portions a bit small I wish the machine allowed us to make bigger portions like being able to fill a starbucks cup in a single go for instance but I have to repeat the coffee making process 2-3 times to fill a big cup that's a downside to me. Other than that makes really tasty and easy coffee!

TOO hot, which is a good thing for me! Lasts longer in the cup

i'm sorry for your bad experience, we've now made over 2500 drinks through our original machine

To show the beans

You bet!

Lets just say, when we go on a road trip, or on vacation I pack the machine up and take it with us!!

Like feels like that single sash is sagging that’s why it’s rubbing on the track but I noticed this issues as soon as I installed it . But I’m not sure how I can adjust it

Mine did this as well, you need to lift that whole door up slightly with air bag and move the hinge up on the door slightly. They do require adjustment after install as they are heavy

We didn't have to do anything out of the box, over 3000 cups now!

@@mylesoffgridwow this machine so robust.

I took care of all the tarrifs and duty, best bet to let lilian line up all the shipping and pay for shipping to the door, then talk to your local broker to clear customs. make sure you are not importing curtain walls, curtain walls have 100% duty charges in canada for sure, usa I don't know.

I think that it would work good! Check your humidity mid day on a gauge. If its super humid, I have found that the colder the water inside the better....

There is no setting for iced coffee

I just ordered a EP5544/80 and that has iced drinks as well. Philips has a ton of different model numbers, but I don't know if they are different for different countries (I'm in Sweden) or if there are tiny differences in features.

There is a lot of heated debate with the compression. The verdict is for mobile applications compression is mandatory. For stationary applications like mine where the batteries will cAlendar age out before they become depleted from use. It's not needed.

Contact doorwin group on Alibaba and talk to Victor or lilian

Thanks!

It came with my champion generator. It's a champion

it can't be changed

It can't be changed sadly. Hot water all the way at the bottom ❤️

So the doors are okay. Definitely great value. No huge concerns right now other than that I can feel some where in the handle on the high traffic doors. And the caulking around the windows cracked in a few spots which I had to redo. The windows are sealed units so it's just the window to the frame caulking that needing addressing.

I bought it at Canadian tire and used a sprayable rubber liner to cost the entire inside of the cabinet.

Certainly! They are still rocking it!

I cannot remember the exact letters but they paid shipping to the door

Hi TD. We get temp swings from minus 40 to plus 40 Celsius. They are black and facing south. I am thinking the aluminum has expanded and contracted a bit causing the cracked caulk. Only on the inside which is weird. I will cut the caulk and redo it if needed so far not causing any real issues. I would purchase again yes!

Thanks for the response. Did you go with all aluminum or wood on the inside? If all aluminum do you find the aluminum even with the thermal break transfers alot of cold to the interior aluminum in the winter and creates condensation on the interior aluminum? Wondering if the wood is worth the added cost.

there is a SPECIFIC way to run this thing. Firstly you have to have some doors open to push out the humid air. otherwise it gets too humid and then the unit won't cool anything anyway. So we leave 2 overhead doors open (on the shade sides of the building), do not let any direct sunlight enter the shop if you can. we turn the tap one full turn from closed plus about a tenth of a turn and found that is the best setting for keeping the shop cool! hope this helps! DO NOT RUN THE HOSE ALL DAY IN IT. drain and fill the water maybe half way through the day, but squeegee the water away otherwise you only adding to the humidity problem.

52% is not bad at all

Not sure how you could make the wires much shorter. The batteries are on the opposite side of the wall. All feedback is good we are still learning!

I have it on a 20A dedicated circuit. Never tripped yet

Hi Susan yes the doors out swing towards exterior. If you order doors with odd number of doors they all go to one side. If you order even number of doors i.e. 4. Then one will swing left and three will roll right. You can tell them which side you want the swing. Hope that helps?

Hello. Yes we still love the doors! I did not have the option to get the ones that hang from the top because we love in a cold climate having a good door air seal was very important. Our house clocked in at 0.7 air changes per hour on a performance test which makes these doors IMPRESSIVE as I have 3 units total. 2 are 8' x 12'. And the other is 8' x 15'. The big screens I just installed last week. They actually work very well. I'll try to make a video of those. If I don't make a video before you order (please mention my name on your quote and talk to Lilian or Victor). When you order the bug screens order them bigger than the door so it doesn't effect your view. I'll try to make a video. Subscribe and watch for the screens video

Thank you Eric!

it did take a lot of my brain power and alot of research to execute this entire house build in under 5 months! thank you!

I will certainly make more indepth videos shortly. What climate are you in? I am in an area where I need all my heat so using indoor heat to make hot water is not efficient. If you live in Arizona or something then it totally makes sense. But where I am heat is needed 6+ months of the year. Ac is really only needed for 2 months.

@@mylesoffgrid Makes sense, I’m at 8900 ft in colorado, never need AC we also have lots of sunny days. I was going to put the heat pump water heater in my electronics closet in hope they would compliment each other on temperature balance. Thank you for the reply.

This is a good idea! Heat pumps strive at turning excess heat into usable heat very efficiently!

Yes but we live in a cold climate so it doesn't work for us. Great for southern climates!

Growatt 5000es

Meh for the price I'd still take an inverter then I have a spare inverter in case. Although I like the eg4 inverter instead as it's already split phase and can charge at 120A!

At the bottom of the first page click month by the graph. Then you can see each day and the solar production. Let me know if that helps!

@@mylesoffgrid I dont really get it I'm sorry. And what is the color I need to look at? There's PV, Battery, SOC, Load, Grid. Where do I look for to know the total energy generated yesterday? For example: I need only the info for Feb 28, 2023

please check my channel for the newest video explaining how to do what you want, thanks!

@@mylesoffgrid OMG I got it! Thank you very much, you're heaven sent. God bless you brother! 😇

Blessings to you and your family as well! Jesus saves!

Exactly! Sometimes people just don't think outside the box like they used to, I like the fact that I have a "Spare" Inverter around in case the SHTF with the sol ark at any given point. I have a spare auto transformer lying around that I could put to use in a worse case scenario.

Started a new thread on diysolarforum to find a list of inverters with more charge capacity.

Thanks for viewing! head to diysolarforum for great info!

My pleasure!

I have the champion 8.5kw I needed a document to figure out the two wire start, and i moved the batteries inside to keep them warm, haven't ran that generator since christmas though ! Also please see my other video on the sol ark and generator power to help you with your issue! Solark cannot charge and discharge at the same time.

More to come!

I do not like way sol ark has to pass the gen power through to the loads. Makes all the led lights pulse and flicker even with a generator that has extremely low harmonic distortion. And a rock solid 60hz power only loading gen to half load. Still makes lights flicker and some of my hydronic relays bUZZ. this way with the growatt it's just charging works much cleaner!

HAHA born at the end of sept so very close! thank you for the great feedback!

This inverter is only active when the generator is powering it. Leave in standby mode. When the generator is off. Inverter shuts off and also turn off breaker to 48V. This type of charging needs to be monitored. It's not automatic. The auto charging is through the sol ark worse case scenario. It's no different than back feeding your breaker panel. Male to male.

@@mylesoffgrid Still no reason to not wire up a plug to the inverter charge input instead of a receptacle.

Yes you are correct I will look into this it's a simple modification! Thanks for the great feedback! Proper term for this setup is called a suicide cord. Beware that you should as mentioned never have an exposed male live cable.

Thanks!

That might not help the issue because the sol ark uses common wire to charge and discharge, so you cannot have current flowing in two directions, sol ark will always use gen power to power the loads then the leftover gen power goes to charging.

which one did you go with after? what was the fail symptom? I am powering mine from battery bank. they all work well however I am noticing after time that some of the charge currents drift out of calibration. they are too balanced cells so the chargery isn't doing much work it's just a fail safe.

@@mylesoffgrid I ended up getting a Batrium WatchMon 4, Decent but pricey. If I was to do it again I would explore something else like a REC, Seplos or JKBms. The YT channel Andy’s garage has a number of good videos on BMSs. My chargery issues were lack of accuracy in voltage measurement. Could not rely on them. My cells / battery are similar rock steady the past 2 yrs..

@@zekeboz5533 also for your heat pump hot water. Does it take heat from the house to make the hot water or is it an outside air source style?

Heat from the house. It sits in a basement so we don’t notice the impact of it running.

Zekeboz, I just asked the question you kind of answered. Are you having a good experience w/ the Rheem heat pump tank ? And are you also storing in a propane tank for your radiant in floor heating? Thanks Mike
