I have to say, I wish I had bought a couple a long time ago.

I've always felt it was a bit of a chore to fill the machines with way oil
as needed. Three need to be filled every other day, and one needs to be
filled every day if they are running full steam ahead.

Originally I used squeeze bottles and they worked fine without over flowing
the filter screens, but when you are dispending all four machines to start
the day your hand starts to get a little sore. Still I did it for ages
until I got some flip top spouts for gallon jugs. That works ok, but you
have to sit there on the floor behind the machine holding the jug at just
the right angle to fill with the reservoir without over flowing the filter
screens. My hand was fine, but my arm and shoulder would get annoyed with
me.

After I got the bucket pumps I kept filling the gallon jugs thinking the
pumps would fill the the machine reservoirs too fast. Still it was a lot
easier than filling the gallon jugs with a funnel.

DOH! Duh, just move the handle slower. This morning I just walked around
from machine to machine carrying the bucket and tried filling them that way.
It was a breeze. No continuous muscle pressure soreness, and I think the
machines might actually have filled a little faster, because I could easily
speed up or slow down to keep the oil flowing just as fast as it could
without over flowing.

I know. I know. All you guys already knew this was the way to go, but its
one of those little things that just makes me smile. Atleast in part
because I know topping off the way oil in the machines will be that much
less of a chore from now on, and it won't be one I dislike enough to wait
until the low oil alarm starts beeping before I do it anymore.
======================================

After a few months you will get tired of carrying the bucket around,
especially a new, full one - might as well order up three more buckets of
oil and pumps now so you can leave a bucket behind each machine ready for
use :-).
