No possibility of Victorians participating?

Sorry nothing personal.

The problem is that no matter how well I pack the Splendor, if a courier decides to throw it in the back to the truck, it could arrive dented, scratched or in pieces and I certainly dont want that and Im sure you wouldnt be impressed either. Theres just no way I could bring myself to post it. Besides, I think it weighs about 30kg

thanks
Jim

"..There is no disrespect intended, but from a straight equipment comparison my personal view is you are making a mistake."

Attilio, thanks for expressing your thoughts, you make a very good point. I am fully aware that it is impossible to compare a Splendor with the BZ99 as the two machines are in different leagues. However I find myself in a situation where "physically" it cant be accommodated. I hear yours as well as fellow CSs (correctly) suggesting that redesigning the kitchen is the way to go however, this option has been very carefully considered but unfortunately is not viable.

Given the space I will have available for the coffee machine in the new kitchen, any option I go for will sadly be inferior to the Splendor. At the moment the only options to choose from are the BZ99 or one of those inbuilt automatic machines. Faced with such a scenario, I would pick the BZ99 anyday.

Let me be clear and say that this machine represents an absolute bargain for someone.

cheers
Jim

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

Apologies for butting in with no relevant input as to your intended sale but.....

There is no disrespect intended, but from a straight equipment comparison my personal view is you are making a mistake.

You should first take your Splendor to a vendor that sells BZ99s and who will let you do a one on one comparison side by side with your machine. Pick someone who you think is fair and not just wanting to push a new BZ onto you.

You can then decide whether you will make a small accommodation to one cupboard, if you decide to keep the Splendor.

In any case, I understand you gotta to do what you gotta do.....

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

Thanks for all the comments thus far.

To clarify a question raised by 2mcm. I assume my machine is the regular Splendor as it has the arc-traversing wands (not the ball joints) - you learn something new everyday.

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

Hi Jim,

Perhaps you might like to inform your prospectives as to whether your machine is a Splendor maxi (ball jointed steam wand) or the regular Splendor which has a wand that rotates through an arc?

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

we are getting a new kitchen installed and it will not fit under the new kitchen cupboards.

My wife tells me that o/head cupboards in the kitchen are sooo last century :.... I reckon a rethink is definitely warranted....

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

I would love that machine from its looks alone, let alone how it might perform.
Shame i dont have the ready $$s or live 2000km closer

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

Mr Sledge Hammer can often make the extra room desired after the refit, and the Splendor is so sexy, nobody would notice the debris!

Re: Diadema Unico Splendor For Sale

Sorry to see that you have to sell so soon Jim,

These are a very good machine and your price is very fair.

For mine, Id redesign the kitchen!

I hope you get a rapid sale and that it goes to a happy CSer home.
