Robinox 36l - Any Experiences?

[razz]

I forgot to mention, look in the vats and buckets section.

I've just emailed them (Fallsdell) to ask about a 45L stainless vat.

I've also come across this mob in Brookvale, NSW:
AL stockpots: http://www.hospitalityware.com.au/item.asp...=2&start_row=12
S/s Stockpots: http://www.hospitalityware.com.au/item.asp...=2&start_row=12

Not incredibly cheap, but not overpriced either.

Still waiting to get to a BigW store to see their 20L pots for $19.95 (apparently).

Tim.

[razz]

Well done Tim, as you say not to shabby but a bit cheaper than new prices as well !
Maybe something to aim for for xmas ? :unsure:

Top job Phrak! I think that's an extremely good find you've made considering SS Pots are usually only 0.8mm thick and these come with a stand. It'll be interesting to see the price without the stand which we should find out tomorrow...

I was hoping to get onto these troops today myself but ended up working. I'll send them an email now regarding:

3944 - 50lt Vat with Lockable Lid and SS Handles (looks very solid)
4281 - 50lt Vat with Lid and Handles
4282 - 50lt Vat No Handles (Lid?)
5927 - Same as 4281 though looks in better condition
5941 - 70lt (same as 4282)
5946 - As for 5927
4412 - 45lt Vat No Mobile Stand

Post back here tomorrow hopefully. (I have also added a note for them to supply info on the wall thicknesss.)

Many thanks Phrak,
PP

 

[Phrak]

Thanks PP, but Razz should take the credit for this find, 'twas him who pointed me to them! Thanks John/Razz!

Now, my wife dropped in to the local-ish BigW store (at Winston Hills, NSW) today to have a look at their 19L SS pots. Unfortunately they where all out of stock (and she didn't get their prices). The largest they had in stock was a "measly" 12L.

That reminds me - (kinda) funny story - I was in DJ's on Saturday looking for their range of pots, you know, just to see what's available. I ask the sales lady, "What's the largest stock-pot you sell?" she replies with, "Oh, they're quite big. I don't know, maybe four or five litres." :unsure: h34r:

Back to the BigW pots - does anyone have any more info on them? or know of their local BigW which has them in stock?

Tim.

I've found the BigW pots to be ok, didn't really have any scorching. I used them on the stove for a few boils before getting sick of that and getting a 50l pot and a NASA burner. B)

I got mine last year in Auburn. It may be worth phoning them to check first. If the pots are there, then there's a fair chance there'll be no lids anyway. I looked in two other stores which had several pots, but no lids to go with them. Not sure how they can lose so many large, glass lids. (Seth? ) They were $20 IIRC.

 

[Phrak]

Thanks guys.

So the general consensus it that, for the cost, they're quite reasonable?

I hadn't heard back from Fallsdell so gave them a call re the SS vats I mentioned in this thread on Apr 20. They hadn't received my enquiry but were very helpful (I probably pressed a wrong button on their site.)

The thickness of the vats ranges from 1mm to 1.5mm usually. Unfortunately, the prices are nowhere near what I had hoped. Mind you, if anyone wants a 180lt vat for $250, well they have one! (I didn't actually request that item.)

Just so as you have an idea, here's the email I received from them...

PP, I emailed them for prices on a 70lt and a 90lt. No response yet, but from your post I have a rough idea. That 180lt job looks tempting but won't fit in my stand !

 

[Phrak]

My wife dropped in to the local-ish BigW store (at Winston Hills, NSW) today to have a look at their 19L SS pots. Unfortunately they where all out of stock (and she didn't get their prices). The largest they had in stock was a "measly" 12L.

It turns out that they were out of stock because she purchased the last one for my birthday present!

It seems to be of reasonable construction, but certainly not as sturdy as a $150 SS pot (nor would I expect it to be). More than enough for a brew though. As Wally said earlier, they have a fantastic glass lid. The (relative) thinness of the side walls should make it pretty easy to install a ball-valve in the side as well.

All-up, I'd rate these as excellent value for money. I'll reply back once I've done a boil in it

Tim.

Razz maybe their email system has gone a little dodgy. I'd give the guy a ring on 02 9791 0933 though I reckon the prices are going to be a little scary. I was after a price on the 70lt as well but this didn't come through.

Cheers PP

 

[razz]

PP, you had better check post #30 again !

 

[PistolPatch]

Whoops! Thanks Razz. I must have subconsciously blocked it out when I saw the price!
