Default Centrifuges

I've been looking at centrifuges lately and have been wondering about a few things:

1. Looking at the raw power and Wolverine setups, are there anymore out there?

2. Has anyone done a comparison of the two, side by side, so to speak, to see which one works better/faster? I'm not including the Monster 5k jobby at Raw Power.

3. Anyone have the pros and Cons on these machines, I could not find a blog about either one.

BTW, I am NOT considering the jobs at PA diesel and the like in this. I use these animals offshore on big EMDs, CATs, and such and am impressed with the cleaning they do for what they were intended. Just not for centrifuging WMO to use as fuel, too slow.

I spent months of research and tried calling both companies regarding their products; neither answered. Then I found absolute centrifudge. I bought the automatic one with a heater and timer for 1500 shipped and I LOVE IT. I've filtered 300+ gal and have no reason to believe that it won't filter another 20000 until the motor needs new brushes. The thing is very high quality.

Let me know if I can help in your search

Thanks
Josh

I looked all through this site and google, and, and, and... That's why I posted this thread. It seems everyone wanted to test units side by side, but no one did (that I can find). Also have not seen the pros and cons of the above mentioned centrifuges from someone who has had a unit for a while.

I have noticed there seems to be very few differences in the designs of all of these. Cup, self drain holes, double cup body, top feed.

Unless there is a massive difference in motors, I'm getting a 6 one vs Half-a-dozen the other feeling.

There are a few things different between the machines but nothing to quibble about. It all boils down to one thing, Customer Service and Support.

That's my opinion as well.

Wolverine is a member and has a great reputation. But they all seem a bit salty for what they are. $1000 is a bit much for a large juicer IMHO, but nobody sells them much cheaper, and you would spend almost as much paying someone else to build it for you from scratch.
