We’ve had this machine for about 5-6 years, & it finally gave out on us. We like it so much we got another one. You honestly can’t go wrong with it, after trying out a handful of different machines, some that cost 4 times as much, this one is my favorite. Easy to setup & clean and makes a great espresso. Yes there are little improvements that could be done to it, my only problem with it was the water reservoir kept leaking. Lets see the new one how long it would last. I would definitely recommend this unit.
