The following's a comment from someone at UL. . .
"ETL is UL's competitor. Actually I think they're doing business as
Inchcape or Intertek now. Some local jurisdictions require UL Listed
products and won't accept ETL products. Generally speaking, ETL evaluates
products to UL standards or the standards of some other organization-but
ETL's evaluation is not as thorough as UL's. I always look for the UL mark

I got one of those cheapies... you're right, they do take a LONG
time, 36
hours for 4 trays of anchos/habs. Still, the price is right and it
will be
of help when harvests overwhelm my Mr. Coffee<tm> model. One note
on the
cheapie... it is NOT UL listed, (Underwriters Laboratory) but is
labeled as
ETL listed. Anybody know of this ETL?
