Durable but Very Expensive Spares

The title says it all. We've had one for 10 years. Used on a daily base. It works today as it did 10 years ago (very reliable results too) However, there's a big BUT! If used on a regular base, the pan will need replacing every couple of years ... and that is no good at all for the pocket: the pan is as expensive as the machine itself! Kenwood products may be better, all considered.
