We have had this for a little over a month now and we are very happy with it. It is a quality product. Of course why they are so dear in Australia is a shame but that is nothing to do with the suppliers, we obtained an almost identical one in France for less than half this price (that is why the value for money is only marked good - the reality is that this supplier was considerably cheaper than elsewhere). You get what you pay for and in this case its great. Great top and good pyrolitic feature in the oven, and fairly easy to use, we are still learning the programming features.
