Just curious as to whats up with your fx? Mine has been a work horse.Does anybody have experience with the Ecru 420?
It decarbs and infuses.........the temp and time is programmable.
I have an Ardent FX, but I've had issues with it since the first time I used it.

The first time I used it the buttons didn't work very well.........I had to press the on/off button several times at different spots to get it to turn on. The timing on the decarb setting is all over the place..........sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 1 hour.........last time it started back up (green) after it had gone into cool down mode (blinking red). The infusion cycle has to be shut down manually. Because of these problems I question the effectiveness of this product. And the thing was frigging expensive.........I should have paid more attention to the reviews.Just curious as to whats up with your fx? Mine has been a work horse.
Some of the time difference could be the amounts and ambient tempertures. But it does sound like problems with the start button.The first time I used it the buttons didn't work very well.........I had to press the on/off button several times at different spots to get it to turn on.

I always do the same amounts and my house is always around 78........so I doubt it's that.Some of the time difference could be the amounts and ambient tempertures. But it does sound like problems with the start button.
Does it decarb? Have you contacted ardent?
They offered me $90 off a new machine.........what a joke..
I've got the Ardent, good machine.

Mick email Ardent and detail your problems, they'll probably replace your FX.

Did you ever end up trying one of these Ecru units? I just ordered one to try out. Currently on sale for $90usd on Amazon.Does anybody have experience with the Ecru 420?

Well, thats disappointing. Haha. The reviews seem good too.I got one and returned it after one use.
It didn't maintain the proper temperature for decarbing and infusion.
You get what you pay for I guess.
I bought a Pot by Noids and I love it.

Good luck.Well, thats disappointing. Haha. The reviews seem good too.
Thanks. I'm also snagging a used Magical butter machine with the silicone decarb box and thermometer. I may just send the ecru straight back when I get it if the MBM works out alright.Good luck.
Check out the 1 star and 2 star reviews on Amazon........most of the complaints were the same as mine, about temperature.Well, thats disappointing. Haha. The reviews seem good too.
I saw them. Sometimes stupidly, I like to think positively that I'll be in the lucky group that get everything that was promised. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive so I figured I'd roll the dice. That said, if the MBM and silicone box work well, I'll probably not even open the ecru.Check out the 1 star and 2 star reviews on Amazon........most of the complaints were the same as mine, about temperature.
