Anatol Volt

[alan802]

I would be interested in your opinion if M&R was to introduce an all electric press.  I would like the idea, just to minimize the use of extra equipment that could fail.  We do use air in the shop and really can't get away from it, but would prefer a smaller compressor.  The real issue for me is, do I trust Anatol.  I think for Anatol to have long term success in the US is to deal with issues before they hit the boards.  For this to happen there has to be a top down mentality to fix problems fast and earn respect in the market place for standing behind their products.  Hoffman as the owner of the company makes this personal (I want to be the best) the same way many of you do each day.

I think Rich was pretty forward about that not happening.

This thread has gone crazy, I wish I was a rep for Anatol because I hit you guys right in the mouth with all the info you ask for, leave nothing to ask me later.  Paul was great to work with when he was at Anatol and yet he still did not have all the answers, but did 100% to get you where you needed to be, do Anatol need more people like him yes!!.  I'm sure other companies have had there demon's if you look back a few years, but M&R has set the bar pretty high and you guys look for every other company to be just like them...ain't going to happen captain.  I said this once if not a thousand times Rich came from a service background and took M&R in that direction which has been very good for them, but I'm willing to bet if other companies started doing the same thing some of you would still have a problem with that or I could be wrong.  Reading this post I've only heard of a few of you that have owned or used and Anatol press TCT we've spoke (email) and I know his problem with them and I side with him, but Anatol will be who they are and the equipment will make or break them.

One more thing I have the most respect for Rich and M&R, I have an older M&R dryer and was having problems and who calls, Rich and offered help.   Mr. Anatol on the other hand is not a service guy and not hands on with people he is an engineer by trade I'm told and puts his energy into that, but both companies have reach out to help me and I for one would like to see both doing good.

"The other thing I keep reading is "no pneumatics". This is a gray area for me, since anatol has compensated me to not publicly talk about the issues I have experienced with their equipment and remain "neutral" I can't really go into detail. But let's just say I have only experienced issues with the pneumatics on one press, are leaking or failing pneumatics and air lines a common issue with most presses out there(all brands)?"

You didn't have to own or ride in the Cadillac Cimarron to know it was one of the worst vehicles ever made.  Or a Renault, or a Ford Pinto, Yugo, Lincoln Blackwood, any Sterling ever made.

We run Anatol.  They helped me out with my last issue, bad switch on the dryer. 
My little .02 regarding M&R money back guarantee, if Anatol would of had one and would honor it.  I would have sent our press and dryer back along with our exposure unit.
