I used to work in a lab that had a big rotovap that used a water aspirated vacuum system for the vacuum and a large and bulky water bath for heat. it was never anything I would want in my kitchen and took up more than half the counter space that I now have. What do you intend to do with it?

I'm a fan of modernist cuisine in love to experiment. What I have been missing in my kitchen is to perform reduction without adding heat and therefore altering flavours. Also extracting flavours sounds very interesting. I realise a Rotavap isn't for everyone but for me cooking and experimenting in the kitchen is my biggest hobby so I spend lots of money in the kitchen. Yes I lack counterspace in the kitchen so the rotavap may end up in the laundry room.
