To clear up warranty issues brought up by this thread, all stir plates produced by
www.stir-plate.com will ship with the following label attached to the bottom. I decided on a label because paperwork is too easy to loose.
Stir Plate Product Warranty
This product is covered by a one year workmanship defect warranty. Your stir plate warranty extends one year past your purchase date or 18 months from the manufacture date.
To claim your warranty, ship your defective stir plate along with a note explaining the defect and a copy of your purchase receipt to the address listed on the
NON VENDOR LINK REMOVED web site. If returned without a valid receipt, the manufacturing date code will be used to determine warranty status.
NON VENDOR LINK REMOVED is not responsible for warranty return freight but will cover freight back to you. Repaired and / or replacement product will be returned as shipped to us. For example, a stir plate shipped in without stir bars will be returned without stir bars.
This warranty does not cover user abuse, damage from incorrect power supply or unreasonable product expectations. For example, expecting a SP-2000 to spin a 5 liter starter as well as a SP-3000 spins a 5 liter starter.
Thanks, Tom

As of this month all of our stir plates ship with a 1" stir bar and a 1-5/8" stir bar. We did some testing and discovered that the shorter stir bar did best with smaller 1 liter or less starter and the longer stir bar did best for 2 liters and above. We also tried a 2" stir bar and saw no diffetence between the 1-5/8" and 2" stir bars. There are quite a few of our stir plates in homebrew shops so don't expect these stir plates to instantly appear in you local homebrew shop.
Thanks, Tom
