I purchased a LECO CHN1000 about a year and a half ago, and I've been quite
pleased with it. It has run well with multiple users. I spent a lot of
time comparing LECO and Carlo Erba. They are quite comparable to each
other. What tipped the balance in favor of LECO was that it takes larger
samples (100-200 mg are typical) than the Carlo Erba, which means you don't
have to worry quite so much about homogenizing the material from which you
are taking your sample; a built-in processor (you have to buy a PC to run
the Carlo Erba); and a faster runtime for each sample (~4 min vs. 6 for the
Carlo Erba). It also helped that LECO has an office just a few minutes
away from here!
