Frequently asked questions

Which machine has the best resale value?

Tandir holds value best on the secondhand market thanks to wide installed base and parts availability.

Can I use the same blade across all three?

Diameter may match, but each machine has its own mounting system. You cannot swap blades between brands without adapters.
