> I again am trying to get info to help a dentist who will be ordering

> reliably for a number of years. And that if they need repair, the
> manufacturer does not consider them pretty much "disposal" units.
> [which is what has occurred at his facility currently - they had
> bottom of the line units and several have "died" at once.]
> Any info positive or negative about these units would be most
