Hi,
After any thoughts, advise, or tips on what I need to consider/factor in here.
I currently have a Breville Ikon, and not a lot of spare cash, but am open to an upgrade if a good deal comes my way. The Silvia is probably the logical next step, and I have my eye on one on that sight that I dare not name
What Im wondering is:
- Whether the Silvia is a substantial upgrade from the Ikon? I assume so, but my experience is extremely limited, so confirmation from anyone familiar with both would be fantastic!
- Are there inherent risks in buying an older Silvia? Trying to confirm exact age, but prob around 10 yrs? I get the impression theyre built to last, but buying s/h you have to take the sellers word re: the care and maintenance its received over its life (and seller may not necessarily be 100% upfront on this).
- What could be potential health issues with the machine, and are any terminal?
Any other input/advice/other welcomed!
Damien
