Love the 2 stage cooling on my 9.
-25 in the middle of Qld summer (when there are no clouds )
The chamber warming circuit generally works very well, as long as you ramp up the cooling over 10-15 mins. Easy to do with modern software while everything else is getting sorted.

Thanks for that info.
Yes - I like my QHY9 m too - it's good value for the price.
Obviously it has a few minor problems but they can all be overcome.
cheers
