Taken the plunge on a Grainfather

[Soton]

Well I have taken the plunge on buying a Grainfather, well sort of! I'm on a reserve list to get one from Belgium when there next delivery comes in in a couple of weeks time
Hopefully the pound will stay strong against the Euro and it should work out about £565 delivered.
I bounced a few emails to the shop in Belgium and spoke to Niels, who was amazingly helpful, he explained he can't guarantee anyone any Grainfather until the new delivery comes in as he has been let down with numbers once they arrive at his shop
He has a dangerous online shop as he stocks lots of great brewing kit, it looks like it could be my goto overseas supplier while the pound is strong

Dangerous

Dangerous as in it could be very costly with the great equipment on sale and the idea that its a bargain while the pound is strong against the Euro:

I just realised that I should of put a link to the online shop

Does it have a continental style 2 pin plug as opposed to a UK 3 pin plug?

From my experience of living abroad there might be issues with warranty etc

£594 at Geterbrewed, should come down to £565 with discount, you'd get it quicker and a bit closer to home if you have any issues :)

I just checked on there Irish site and if I buy in Euros I should work out at about
£555 if delivery is free this might be a better option, thanks for the tip:

I tried to do what soton is up to and order one cheaply from a euro site. Problems is I can only speak English, so when on old Belgian guy turned up on my doorstep I knew I wouldn't be seeing that 500 quid again

I'd just make sure there are no import taxes before ordering from abroad! not sure how it works ordering within the EU. Just a thought though.

No duty charges or extra VAT at all within the EU.

I've bought a lot of gear from China over the years and never been charged any extra duty or VAT even for items costing a hundred quid. Strange that. Chancellor is missing a trick there. From America, I've been hit every time unless the duty / vat was paid upfront.
