Very expensive, looks good but in reality does nothing (or possibly less than) models half the price do. wink
That's what I mean by automotive !!!

Seriously yes the retail price is high but new ex Demo pop up on fleabay for half list - where ours came from.
Yes there are cheaper ways to cook but once you see the design in real life and the quality of the build... well automotively it's closest to a brand like Bentley.
The service and support from Mercury is awesome as well.
When Mrs DH saw the Mercury in John Lewis then found one on Ebay and suggested spending almost 2 grand I wasn't convinced but 3 years on no regrets at all.
Has yours got a rotisserie? I was going for a Brittania (another automotive cooker wink ) but a friend in the trade has told me to steer well clear of them. Haven't found anything else with a rotisserie in it yes.

We've had a Britannia for about two and half years, and it has a rotisserie. We even used it once, because it was there, but it's not been busy since. The cooker's fine though, as is the one some friends of ours have had for a decade plus.
