![]() The Irony and Hypocrisy of these type of statement is that most of the items we own today are made in Asia and we have no complaints. The assertion that a Taiwanese product is inferior to one supposedly made in Italy belies a common racist tendency to assume that Asian products are inferior to other products. At what point they all became reproductions and no originals is one for the historians. 'Original' atomics were made in Italy, the UK, Austria and Hungary. They are both based on the expired Robbiati patents and can best be described as reproductions. The Sorrentina is not a 'copy' and nor are machines from Bon Trading 'original'. I suggest you check the actual facts before you make uninformed comments. There are falsehoods published on their website right now. Which is an 'original'? You tell me.īon trading sold NO atomics for many, many years (20 years?)and constantly lied to customers about their availability, I know because I experienced it. The new Bon machines are different- and who knows where they are made? and in addition atomics have been made in the UK, Italy, Hungary, Austria- then in India, now in Taiwan- and the Otto in China. Not as good as vintage machines.Īs to your claim that these new Bon machines are 'original' I wonder what that is based on? Bon Tradings web site? The original Italian manufacturer stopped making machines in the mid eighties. The screws in the head were held in with blue tack!!!- and fell out when touched- there was sand inside the boiler. I purchased machine from Bon and was very dissapointed with it. It is not a 'copy' or a 'fake'- and as a collector and user I can assure you the Sorrentina machine is very well made and better than the few machines Bon periodically has avialable. The patents have lapsed and any one is free to use them. So lets forget this owner of an atomic expertise rubbish. Not a true reproduction? The differences are obvious and start with the label- you don't need to own an atomic for years to read what is right in front of you- the Sorrentina machines are permanently stamped 'made in taiwan' on the base. I own an Atomic for some years now, and know the differences.Īnyway, who would want to pay $450 for a fake out of Taiwan when you can get the real Atomic (new) for $495 from the distributor "Bon Trading Co."?" "La Sorrentina is not a true reproduction of the Atomic, but an attempted copy.
