I relied on the positive reviews and made me these cappuccino maker. A good decision, I first thought! He has really force runs wonderfully soft (no imbalance) and purrs like a kitten, so I distributed the beginning euphoric 5 Stars. Unfortunately, the creamer has given up the ghost after only one year: First, the power was gone, then later went nothing 1 week. The advertised longevity is therefore not given, as evidenced by some other reviews. The creamer was indeed used several times a day, but only for milk - I do not want to speculate as to when he would have given up the ghost, he would for viscous sauces (as advertised) was used. I have therefore written down since in such a short life, the device is simply too expensive. Addendum: I have, in spite of the short life of the first device but again opted for the same product: The second creamer was just 15 months on the mind - The battery :-( ... For the price an indisputable idea!
