I bought the oven pan directly from Philips for £17.99. This means the new 'improved' version is available for £107.98 instead of the £159 most places advertise. Will report back with a review once I've had a chance to play.

Still use this same machine on a near daily basis.
At some point I know I’ll have to replace it but I can’t work out if any of the newer machines are fundamentally better. I don’t want the next to feel like a downgrade, and I also want it to be robust. Part of the secret to my model’s longevity could be the non-digital controls (temperature dial and a clockwork timer on-off control)
