Just a couple of points that you may want to consider.

Please, let us know the results after further checking.
As I know, Bing still does not support Rich Snippet for products, so no wonder why it does not display it.

The description is not very good. Taking page content from the top is not a good choice for the itemprop description. If you have other text at the top of the page that doesn't relate to the product, then the description will be incorrect. I think that you should take the CDSEO or standard meta description and use that as it will be much more relevant in most cases. I have removed the itemprop description as I don't want Google to pick it up the way it is at the moment. The description is not a required field thankfully.

The description field in the Product structure should be a description of a product, so it is incorrect to use meta description instead there.
I mean, if some page contains the <div itemscope itemtype="Product">..</div> element, it tells Google that this page contains information of some product in structured format. This product schema describes the actual properties of a product and that's why we use actual product description there.

You may also want to consider picking up the thumbnail image if it exists and using it for the itemprop image.

That would be great to display image in Rich Snippet. Product schema even contains image property, but, unfortunately, this image is not used anywhere in the Snippet at the moment.
Hopefully, Google will add support for that. Now Google only supports images in Review and Person objects.
