I'd think with only 1 year of use it would be in pretty decent
shape. If so, take into consideration what's available today
and the price. For instance, if a similar Viking or Wolf unit is
$4K (a guess), I'd be more than willing to pay $2500 for the
Garland, knowing how good it is. Speaking for myself of course.
And the comment regarding it being better to NOT have sealed
burners is correct. I can't address the self cleaning aspect,
but would just consider this one more thing that could break.
