    I'm sure Tesco do a no frills one for about £25.
  • Almost any really big supermarket. I think Argos and TJ Hughes do cheap ones too. Secondhand ones sometimes turn up at boot sales for about £5-8 if you want a really cheap one.

  • I had a Proline (Comet's own brand) one for years and it was fine. They're very cheap and did have a 2 year warranty when I bought mine.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

  • freecycle ???

    https://www.freecycle.org

    This an international recycling group where people give away things, that they don't want or they don't need anymore, instead of sending them to the tip. More or less, people moving.

    Check their list and find your local one and join it. You might find what you need or you may ask for one, but remember, your first post should be an offer.

    Hope that made clear what the freecycle means :j
