I have both, these are pretty terrible in comparison.

It's probably the only BBQ I've used that heats so unevenly that one end of a sausage can be burnt while the other end is still raw.

I would 100% hate to be in your situation. I enjoy my privacy and like to avoid human contact wherever possible.

Butterfly Gocha on Philips Series 2200 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine EP2231/40 $399 Delivered @ Amazon AU / Myer

Double the price though so of course you should expect better quality.
