This was sold by me as a new item about five years ago. It came from Currys, we bought it and never used it. It cost £699 if memory serves, it was the absolute top of the range. The person who bought it off me said the box had got badly damaged in shipping and returned it. When I got it back, it certainly looked like it had been knocked around a bit (the box I mean), and when we checked the unit, the protective metal cover has a few dints and knocks. Its never been tested or used and apart from opening the box to look at it, I've done nothing more to it. It might work, it might need some work. The cast iron cooktop is perfect. Buy with that in mind, priced accordingly
