Hold this fully automatic for 4 years and are still enthusiastic about the crema, the taste of coffee and the many possibilities of coffee variations that are possible with this machine. Still enthusiastic we are, however, of the extended warranty for this device, we then completed the foresight. For the unit we did when it was new just 1100 - issued and for the extended warranty, we pay 12, - per quarter. Now the real problem, which, at least ours has this machine. It is extremly susceptible. In 4 years they had been 5 times in the repair. Overall, there were costs, of about 1000, -. Defect was in the inner workings of the machine pretty much ever, despite regular maintenance, descaling etc. Fortunately, everything was paid by the insurance, because otherwise we would have "broken" annoyed. While I write these lines it is just once ... Right in the repair! In summary, I can say that coffee options hui, technical vulnerability Ugh. Whoever gets an additional insurance for little money, to access, because then it can be a matter otherwise let the fingers of this beautiful but designed technically very vulnerable machine! Oh, if the insurance we eventually rauswirft and understanding I could do it, there will be no second Delonghi more!
