36' Diva induction top. Would you?

16 years ago

After two trips to the dump yesterday, I went past my favorite appliance store to press my nose to the glass and drool a bit. Actually, I went inside and found a sale going on. They had many floor models on sale, and the 36" Diva was marked at $2,000. The salesperson said "Make us an offer. Diva is pulling out of the US." So, my question is whether to make an offer or not. My concern would be about service. Any insights or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    If DIVA is really getting out of the US market, I might be reluctant to purchase the unit. However, I have a DIVA anad am perfectly happy with it. You might call or mail DIVA and ask directly if they are indeed pulling from the US market.

    Brand new from the factory at that price I'd quickly buy it bare bones, but if it still comes with a warranty that's even better. It is basically a high end rebadged DeDietrich unit from Fagor so parts should be available for quite some time in the future.

    Thanks guys. It is a floor model, so not as brand new as if still in box. But it does have a warranty.

    I'd offer $1250 and be prepared to go as high as $1750. Good luck!

    Even if Diva is pulling out of the US market, I would not hesitate to buy the 5 burner DPP-5 at $2,000. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some other models have, such as timers, it is a well-built unit.

    I bought one on sale 2 years ago and other then having a faulty element when it was installed, it has been great ever since. I purchased it online quite far from my residence and had no problem with Diva contacting a local appliance repair man who came by 2 days after I called them. He simply popped the bad unit out and replaced it with a good one and it was then off to the races.

    I am sure Diva (under law) will honor any parts or other service problems you may encounter.

    I have to add that I have had excellent email response from the Diva tech person in QUEBEC. We don't have anyone that even sells DIVA in the state. It doesn't really concern me as the company has veen so helpful with tech questions. If there is a problem they send a local repair person out and assist them by phone if need be.

    Whom do you call in Canada? I've done a search and come up with nothing. I need some tech help with a Diva induction cooktop which keeps tripping the circuit. Must be a short of some type.
    HELP and thanks
