I agree. we also had LOTS of problems with the slide and waterbath. It was horrible. You have to keep replacing the material on the slide, the water does not flow evenly, etc. Too many problems.

It depends on the product since now Thermo, Fisher and Richard Allen 
are all 
under one umbrella. I too have always liked the Microm microtomes 
especially 
the HM 355S! But don't get sold into their slide waterbath 
contraption!! Not a 
good thing ;-)
