Ilve Roma range cooker

Just wanted to share some feedback on our new Ilve range cooker. Ilve used to make Britannia when Britannias were really good. Salesman in the Bath dealership we went to said "If you always wanted a Britannia then the Ilve Roma is the way to go" so we did. Not a good move.
The Roma is the newest model with only a handful in the country - should have waited until some reviews appeared. First thing we noticed was the shut lines around the doors were not parallel. Engineer came out and adjusted the hinges which just seemed to be filing bits off of them until the doors looked better (note: not perfect but better) Second thing was the rotisserie which didn't work properly, it winds itself back and forth across the steel shelf rather than staying in its slot and just going round. Pretty much got told that we aren't using it properly! On the plus side the ovens are a good size and it cooks well but at £4800 don't rush. Simply can't face searching for something else but probably shouldn't be keeping it.

Just wondering how you are finding the Roma after a couple of years?

From day 1 we have seen small pools of water on the floor whilst using the ovens, looks like condensation running down the oven.

The rotisserie jump when rotating, I suspect the motor can't cope with the weight of the meat, but it's only a medium size chicken.
