It does amuse me that keyboard designs that should have been left dead after Clive Sinclair stopped using them are now making a comeback as accessories for tablets.
I did upset a co-worker who bought one for his MS surface by pointing out it's similarity to a ZX80.0 -

Breadmaker
Slow cooker

We have two of these (one at home and one in our static caravan)

If you really want to spend £160 buy one somewhere other than Amazon.
You can get steam generators for as little as £50 but they are will not produce the high volumes of steam a pressurised one does so don't work quite as well.
These are most certainly not catch pennies or something that will never be used so not really the correct thread to ask.
Just saw above post - maybe it's the £50 ones in the charity shop??0 -

If you've not already purchased one then consider a Bosch. I've had other cheaper ones and while they were good they did not last very long. Bosch are definitely worth the money and more powerfulCurrent Mortgage 01.10.17 £113,513.88

WASTE:- model nitro helicopter; practised carefully for 1 week then crashed and burned (well, not burned, but too many bent bits to contemplate rebuilding). Its still there in the back of my garage.
BEST: Netac box to connect 2 PCs together (USB) to effect fast data transfer.
