Thinking about upgrading.

Postby repeat » Mon Sep 03, 2012 7:58 pm

Hi All,

I've had my Alex Duetto MKII about 2 years now and I'm seriously considering selling it and buying a Speedster. The looks, build and the features are making it impossible to resist.
For those of you with a Speedster, what's it like to live with day to day? Anything that is a pain or you wish was different?

Thanks!

Lol. Was almost scared to click the links. I saw that article but was hoping for comments from the folks from Europe. Especially icke as I think his is paired with a Nino (which I also have - bought from EricC). Was also hoping for a picture or two beside the Nino!

I've gone and ordered the mirrored stainless steel version. Will arrive in a couple of months. Very excited about it!

Will do. Won't arrive until the middle of November. I almost as excited about the fact it will be fully plumbed in. Plan to leave it on 24x7 and pack away the kettle.
