Packaged with a programming magnet, all of its paraffin tanks, processing bottles, and an attached power cable, this VIP 2000 includes everything you need except for the consumables and tissue baskets.

Our technical staff ran both minute cycles designed to stress-test the heaters and overnight cycles, which simulate real-world usage scenarios.
