The Flair 58+; the new flagship electric model from Intactidea, is retailing in the UK for around £645.

As I have now got this model, and also the Flair 58, I can compare the two, and can only find marginal aesthetic differences from the Flair 58 electric model, and the Flair 58 is £80 cheaper without the shot mirror, and stained (not solid Walnut) portafilter handle and lever handle, and is easily chipped!

Both models have the same water chamber and double hook latch, and the Flair 58+ still displays the embosed Flair 58 name and NOT Flair 58+ which is a tad confusing!

Both models have a detachable electric heat controller plug lead that you plug into the water chamber which makes it easier for transportation!

You do get a:
1. walnut 'stained' palm tamper with the Flair 58+
2. A shot mirror which is cheap quality to say the least!
3. New style 'branded' Power brick which has an increase of 1amp to 2.5amp input.
4. New Black styled Pressure Gauge.

My advice is to buy the £80 cheaper latest Flair 58 which also has the new mains Power pack, and detachable water chamber power lead!

Flair's Customer Support, is very poor at responding to emails; 3 weeks on, and I still haven't had a reply about a query I had!
