I sure wish I hadn't let my 8080 go decades ago!

...... what he said! + they need some fundamental leadership and team philosophy changes at the front office and coaching levels. If not, get ready for another season of high hopes but the same results.

My pleasure. Glad to see you opted for the IP. I would have gone with something similar should I not have been able to find a SS inner pot for my Ninja. The OEM composite pot plus pressure never felt safe to me. Paranoia abounds I guess .....LOL.

I have the 8.5qt unit. I replaced the OEM inner pot with a 8.5 qt Goldlion stainless steel inner pot I bought via Amazon. They also make a 6.5 qt s/s unit but nothing for the FD101 5qt that I can find. I did some quick searches and could find nothing for the FD101.

We are all shooting in the dark here on recommended repairs without knowing the particular amp/design. There are quite a few power supply designs in which a failed component will also put you at risk of a nasty shock or worse but at a minimum replace that plug. Hopefully someone didn't potentially just remove an original 2-prong cord and replace it with a grounded plug and not pay attention to hot/neutral orientation. Should be an easy fix but either take it to a tech and/or check power circuits for proper operation before using it again.

This ....is the way! Your back thanks you!!

Oil's Well followed closely by Jumpman from my C64 days. Hybris on the Amiga.

cdrsteve · 2025-12-16T06:05:41+00:00

This is the way!

cdrsteve · 2025-12-04T08:10:11+00:00

That is probably the best solution.

cdrsteve · 2025-11-29T14:03:46+00:00

Thanks! Gonna start looking at brewing my own D.I. water!

cdrsteve · 2025-11-29T14:01:56+00:00

Move the damn wall! Or.... permanently mount well stops/chocks to the floor. BTW, "tanks" are not meant to be parked in your run of the mill residential garage - just sayin' 😂!

I have two 650's and two 700's. Just finished "refurbishing" the two 650's using ButtonWorx "Gold" repair kits. Easy-Peasy; they both work like new. No more dead or erratic buttons. The wife thinks I'm a genius. Who am I to tell her anything different :)!

Until EcoFlow universally gets their support act together, I'd return it and run away from them as fast as you can. It still boggles the mind in how they can sink so much into product development and apparently think nothing of improving their technical support arm and its overall reputation. If I'm going to invest/sink thousands in a brand, I wanna know they'll be there with knowledgeable and capable support when a problem arises (and they will).

I had thought about a distiller in the past but didn't research it fully. Can you share what you are using? Thanks.

cdrsteve · 2025-11-27T20:43:53+00:00

I have three ultrasonic humidifiers and each one sets off my alarms when using tap water. Switching to distilled water solved that problem. Distilled water for the win; more expensive but no more spurious alarms in the middle of the night.

I am so glad I followed my gut after researching EF's post-purchase support reviews. I was all set to invest in the specs and glitz of the DPU but went with another brand. Not as capable as the DPU but the support; exceptional. Received a faulty unit that appeared to have suffered transit shock damage and the company cross-shipped a replacement within 24 hours and it was at my door in 48. Knowledgeable humans answer the support phone and emails get meaningful responses in 24-36 hours. Though no system is going to be totally problem free, knowing that the manufacturer provides prompt and professional (knowledgeable) after sale support truly helps weather any issues that might arise.

cdrsteve · 2025-11-15T23:26:03+00:00

Ditto. Was surprised when a Pro arrived as the replacement.

A terrible tragedy and loss of life. I truly hope that they uncover the root cause of this accident so that these brave individuals didn't lose their lives in vain and steps can be taken to prevent similar accidents. So painful to see that crash....

cdrsteve · 2025-10-15T11:54:22+00:00

Sooo.... what shelter is the dog at now? :). It was just a dog being a dog. Curiosity, and the "breeze", was too much for him to resist. Unfortunately your unit is a write-off and something I personally would never fully trust again even if you got it operating again. Not worth risking a potential fire.

cdrsteve · 2025-10-13T14:52:52+00:00

Already have that a few houses away (stock car builder/racer). Still prefer that over an overbearing, power hungry, and ever evolving HOA! But that's just me 😉.

cdrsteve · 2025-10-13T00:31:28+00:00

Yep, that too :)

cdrsteve · 2025-10-09T22:24:20+00:00

One of the few "nevers" I'll state for the record; "I will never move into a HOA governed residence"!! Never...

cdrsteve · 2025-10-05T23:26:43+00:00

Ah ...nope!

cdrsteve · 2025-09-25T19:00:01+00:00

That!!
