The stove is worth it a thousand times over. It is very heavy. It is not 2000 watts as stated (this is known information), but it is powerful and stronger than 1500 (which is what most have). It has good insulation, you don't get burned on the metal. Overall, an excellent product that justifies its price. If it is Greek, well done. Although I don't believe it! I consider it excellent for what it is, very high quality! As for the other models of the company, I don't think so, although I have no opinion—this one is excellent, it has nothing to do with others of the same price or cheaper that look similar; it is very heavy so you can understand what we're talking about. The person who wrote that it smells, I can't believe they got a defective one, probably confused the models. It is a product made to last as many years as possible. The review may seem fake but it is actually true... just pay attention to the watts to get this model, for the rest I don't know...
