This option of buying only the vibrator cuts out the cost of shipping the trash can--which weighs 13 pounds and measures 24 x 31.5 inches. It therefore pays to buy the can (Rubbermaid # 2643) in your local department store and have us ship you the vibrator only.
The sifter and motor are joined to a sawed-off Rubbermaid Brute that conveniently fits into another Brute.
50 mesh is the choice for keeping out tiny bugs or bug parts (for kashrus).Note: Mesh-hole size affects the speed of sifting (smaller holes meaning slower sifting), so choose 50 mesh only for sifting out extra-fine particles.
