I have a CO-Z brand, same as Neal's shown in one of the threads linked above. It's 6L, looks identical to the 6L Harbor Freight job, but I think I paid right around $100 with shipping. So far so good.
As for recipes, I've used Dawn in water, Simple Green diluted and straight, Rock&Roll Miracle Red Degreaser diluted and straight. Done the baggie trick, as well as yogurt or similar tubs. Be judicious using heat with any such plastic container.
