ROFCO B10 Stone Oven

Hello everyone! 

I am selling my beloved Rofco B10 bread oven with 2 stones for €700.

I am moving back to Canada from Italy, and have decided to not take it with me since there is a voltage difference between the 2 countries. 

This oven works wonderfully and is a game-changer in making large amounts of bread at home! I also use it for absolutely everything from roasting vegetables to making fine pâtisserie. 

I have attached some photos. It has been lovingly used (there are some stains), but it works perfectly nonetheless. 

I am based in Genoa, Italy. 

Take a look! :)

Ciao Davide, sto cercando anche io un rofco quì in Italia, ma non trovo nulla al momento. Sei riuscito a trovare qualcosa?

Fammi sapere, nel caso ti chiederei se conosci qualche forno simile. 

Grazie

Filippo is also in Italy, and also looking for any leads on one of these; he's done some looking around, but nothing so far.

Hello Lisa... I know that maybe it\s too late.

Is it still available the oven? If not... could I know if it has been bought in Italy?

For future reference, there is absolutely nothing preventing someone from using a Rofco oven purchased in Europe here in North America. When Hz becomes an issue is with motors. The Rofco has no motors, only electric resistance heaters (electric heating elements) and these don't care what Hz the electricity is being supplied at (50Hz in Europe versus 60Hz in North America). Therefore the OP was mistaken and could have emigrated with their Rofco with no problem (assuming, of course, that their new home had a 240V circuit installed where they wanted the oven to be located, or that one could be installed). Bummer, since even with the freight cost, they would saved money over having to pay the going U.S. price for a new Rofco. If not utilizing a shipping container for transporting their belongings, to save weight, they could have simply removed the OEM refractory tiles (to reduce the overall weight of the appliance) and purchased bulk refractory tiles locally (which can easily be cut to size to fit the oven) once settled in their new home. A missed opportunity for sure.
