I paid a little extra and bought a Bosch, their stuff seems to be excellent
quality, (as they say in their ads .... Good, Better, Bosch) you need to be a
little careful in what model you order as it is important that the cooling fan
rotates in the correct direction for optimum cooling. I can go look at the model
# if you want? Mine is installed on a Frank, it was either the 60 or 70 Amp
model.

 No, I have no connection to bosch, IMHO they simply make quality stuff
