Does anyone know of a reasonable supplier for the genuine version of this element – 1800W ego?
The 1700w pattern elements don’t last 3months usually.
Homespares used to sell the ego’s but the last batch I got where the nasty 1700w pattern els.

The genuine Bosch element (494643) is made by a company called IRCA and is rated at 1700 watts. Cost direct from Bosch comes out at £17.95 (plus P&P and Vodka & Tonic of course) 😉
According to Bosch themselves 494643 half moon genuine element is now 1700w as well. So unless anyone has some stock left that is what you will get by the looks of it.
Connect stock the genuine one I have price of £22.16 plus VAT.
Have you tried Dave in the UKW shop? Just click the link on the homepage 😉 .
Thanks for the info, sounds like the ones from Homespares could be the genuine ones.
Does anyone know if the new 1700w element still have ego stamped on the bracket ?
