Snap! We've had one for some years, & often use it at home as well as the caravan, as it uses less power than an oven. We've not dropped ours, but the switch is getting unreliable which is worrying. So we're looking for a replacement / alternative too. Watching this thread with interest, thanks for posting!

Mine is a  Multi cooker 562020, RRP £79 but you can get them on ebay around £69. Couldn't believe it when i saw them in The Original Factory shop last year for £25. I phoned my sister from France to go and get me another one once I'd  decided it was just what i wanted, she said there was only 2 left when she went in. 

The heat comes from an element in the base by the way not from above.

A few years ago we thought our Romoska was "on its way home" after several years of service in the caravan and at home. We decided to invest in a second identical Romoska, and have had the newer unit in the caravan for 4 years now. The old one, which is now 13 years old, still continues in service at home. We think they are great cookers.

We don't like the look of the current version, and certainly don't like the price, so eventually we will be Remoskaless - but when will that be?

The plastic switch on our old remoska cracked and I emailed Lakeland to see if it could be repaired. They suggested that I took it back under the lifetime warranty that applied back then. I got the last selling price returned which meant I had to find £40 for a new one. 

I've got a multi cooker at home and it's great but I much prefer the remoska. Nearly everything that we cook while away is cooked on the remoska from bacon butties through to risotto. I'm happy with the multi cooker but prefer the heat source to be above the food

The new one that I have doesn't have a window in the lid which I didn't think I'd like but I think the window has returned. 

In terms of how it works I think it's better than the old one it replaced. Heat is very even. 

I had that feeling of 'dishonesty' when returning mine with such a minor issue but that was customer services suggestion. In return for their excellent customer service they now get most of my household goods business. (Plus you know that if something is sold by Lakeland it's been thoroughly tested and works as it should)

Alza are doing an exceptional discount on Remoska at present. I ordered the 4 litre model yesterday with glass viewing window for just under £90.  That price included a UK plug converter and delivery.  A very considerable saving on the £175 which Lakeland want and that is for the model without the glass window.   Thank you Alza.

You might need to be quick.  The silly price I have paid - by comparison with Lakeland - is for one particular colour heavily discounted.  The other colours cost a fair bit more even on Alza though all the Remoska prices on Alza are way below Lakeland.  The only snag so far is that as we are buying the grand size (4 litre) we wanted to the shallow pan as well.  According to remoska.co.uk these are available but Lakeland don't have them and neither do Alza.  I have emailed Kath at Remoska.co.uk for further information.
