Yeah I’m glad I waited as long as I did and purchased the best I could out of the box.

The amount of tinkering the old Creality at work has needed over the years…
I wouldn’t have lasted long with that at home.

Super happy with our Bambu. It just prints nicely and just works every time.
Before people get mad at me for having a Bambu: I bought it before the UA changed and it’s in LAN mode with no internet. Hardware is great even though the company is a little shady these days.

Yeah nobody beats then on range per euro, but luckily a lot of people think there’s more to a car than just that. They are also known for very confrontational customer service and refusing to even comment when confronted by the media.

We went with the Polestar 2 and Cupra Born.
The i4 m50 is also a cool option in the same-ish price range.
EX90 is the «dream» car, but it’s too costly. Maybe a used Polestar 3 in the future. It’s the same platform, just a bit smaller.

EX90 is built in the US for western markets, China for Asia.
I5 and EQE in Germany for western markets, China for Asia.

You heard right

So does Switzerland…

Yeah I’ve seen those, but not on a hob with downward draft in the middle.

Maybe someone will make them in the future or I win the lottery and can pay Bora/Gaggenau prices….

Does this apply if you use extraction?

I’ve had induction for many years, but I really want a combo with both. Making wok on induction is crap as the sides don’t get hot at all. I also have a hot spot in the center of all frying pans which is annoying when frying bigger things or several things at once.

My dream is a Gaggenau or Bora top with one side induction and one side gas. I already have the mid extractor with outside piping, so no recirculation.
I just cannot justify the $10k price tag and nobody else makes it with a fan in the middle.
