Just wanted to counterbalance Uriel's comments on the BD Aria. I trust him and his description of the Aria in his facility. However, we have had an Aria for about four years now and we think it is terrific. It sorts for about 8-10 hours every day. We have had very little trouble with it. We have not had a service contract (since the initial warranty ran out) -- and BD technical support is extremely helpful to us over the phone (with hour-long conversations and complete descriptions of what parts we should order and how to put them in on our own). So, it may be that there are some lemon Arias out there. But we are very happy with our non-lemon. Alice Alice L.
