In this case you don't get the best having paid for it. If you want
it for "lifestyle" reasons then of course logic and cost is
irrelevant. If you want to buy a cooker then both price and

Thats a bit like saying that if all you want is a splash of color on the
wall,£80,0000 for a Tissot is a waste of money.

Of course it is, a print will do just as well. If on the other hand
you find the works of JJJ compelling and have a deep desire to own
one only an original will do. People buy Agas for similarly
subjective reasons such as style, social cachet etc not for
objective ones such as their ability as cookers.


Wrong. It's for all of those reasons.


Agas are not JUST cookers. They are heaters of a certain character as well.

I don't deny they have character. I have owned many devices with
"character" over the years and been very glad to see the back of most
of them.

Does your milk float have character? :-)
