As with Tump, we have been using the KS series for over 20 years with little issue. My own particular caveat is that we have now started to use Crown as well and are finding them as rugged, easier to move (metal cases with handles), with built in water miser caps, and a better warranty, and with great success. I also echo Tumps sentiments with Roy at RAE. We have been buying from him since our inception in 1988.
