I also looking fpr one, but there is a point to pay for top brand? Is there is any deference between cheep ebay ones and more expensive ones? Or is just paying for logo?

I was looking at these too, you can pick em up on ebay for around £25. But are they any good.

Whatever you get, be sure to pull it apart to make sure there's actually something inside it that will catch the oil!

If it's just an empty box (like most cheap ones), then it won't do anything, as there's nothing for the oil to condense onto.

Some cheap stainless steel dish washing pads (that are about £1 for 10) are perfect for putting inside them, as they won't rust, and provide enough surface area to catch the oil.

Don't skimp on cheap hosing for them either! Had an issue with mine running badly as the hose had perished!! Going to pull mine apart on Monday. Lol
