UPDATE 07/10/2013:
After normal use and only 11 months to work with me, the display no longer true!
It is lit only red or falls partly completely.
A call in the customer brought me nothing, because I as a product tester did not invoice for the purchase of the device, and therefore the guarantee may not avail.
TAKING ME NOW MY JURA example - I now have over 8 !!!! YEARS SINCE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING DRAN BROKEN !!!
And this machine goes after only 11 months before the screen broken?
UPDATE 27/10/2013:
I am then again turned to Amazon and found a way to still enter the machine but in repair. THANKS TO AMAZON.
Before again held consultation with Phillips on the phone.
I was then asked whether and how often should I clean the appliance and descale etc.
The company then offered me to leave my unit to pick up by the postman.
My Saeco was then for 1 week in repair (which was really fast) I've tried it and it works perfectly again.
The display was probably renewed, besides my unit was again additionally decalcified and cleaned.
In the box was still a booklet with care tips and cleaning instructions.
Furthermore, I've read it, the Phillips annual maintenance offering for 99 eating, and ought to go the device after the warranty once broken, offer
this a fixed price of 150 eating for a 5 year old unit and 199 eating for an older device.
I guess that the interested will also find one or the other.
The Philips Saeco HD 8752/95 has over its predecessor model a thin transparent suction hose for cold milk on board to produce perfect milk froth.
This suction hose is enough to simply introduce these in a tetra pack milk and then produce long about it over the milk foam nozzle.
I tried habs, is super easy and the milk foam is also perfect SEE MY VIDEO.
Simple really as it gets.
A replacement hose is also included in the machine.
The cleaning of the hose is also simple: Just put the hose after use in lukewarm water and keep re-apply hot water through the nozzle, thus the hose and the Milchschaumdüse is cleaned.
In addition, this model can be set, how long it stays on.
They were now the main features of this machine.
This is in a beautiful silver. Not too big, not too chunky.
The Bedinungsanleitung is beautifully designed and simple. Very easy even for technophobes to understand.
In the beginning, if you take the machine for the first time in operation, the water tank is filled up to the left. The machine detects the full water tank and then prepares the cleaning program.
This starts by pressing a button to excess in the machine befindliches DRIP rinse.
This process is repeated 3 times, according to instruction.
After the hot water nozzle is flushed.
Then the machine preheats and a venting program starts.
This is beautifully described in the instructions step by step everything.
Following is filled again to the water tank and pour coffee beans up into the pocket provided.
This specialist can also fill in a separate compartment coffee.
The machine can therefore both = coffee beans grind and also prepare coffee for coffee.
In the supplied measuring cup for coffee at the end of the measuring cup on style an opening where you can adjust the degree of milling of the beans above the grinder.
Then adjusted via the menu easily, as one would like to drink his coffee.
The program has a simple structure and by pressing the buttons to get so from one program to the next point.
You can set about
a) how hot you want to have his coffee,
b) determine the water hardness (a litmus paper for water hardness is)
c) how long the machine stays on the standby
d) the descaling
e) the display indicator (vigorously to less bright)
f) and for mild coffee (a bean filled) for medium coffee (two beans are filled) and for a strong coffee enjoyment (three beans are filled).
Then there's a memo function (the machine remembers exactly how much coffee are delivered into the cup should small coffee cups or as in my case, for pot-bellied coffee cups)
This memo function is also very easy to handle.
The Start button is held down and the coffee is issued and when you have enough, press the stop button and the machine has then realized the right amount for the next time !!!
The display is designed in three colors:
green = you go
yellow = the machine is eg. preheated
red = there something wrong ... either lacking water, or the beans or the retention basin is full, or the container for the ground coffee is full ....
The symbols are simple and very big but are self-explanatory.
In the beginning but you should still have the instructions are next to the machine for easy reference when needed times can.
Another word for cleaning and maintenance.
Unfortunately, no cleaning is, this must be ordered separately at Amazon or at Philips on the homepage.
Since then there the bottles with the decalcification or the Set to the machine to clean the grease from the coffee beans.
Unfortunately I could not test, because the machine so was not that long in my operation.
However, I would recommend to try directly to this cleaning set, so you can start cleaning immediately when the machine says that she would like to be cleaned.
Furthermore, should one also the brewing unit Grease (a tube and a brush for this lies with) and clean. In the manual is at exactly how, when and where.
My recommendation: On the homepage to but are to small videos, exactly that show how to handle the one. Quite simply, easy to imitate.
So do not be afraid to clean the brewing unit!
So you have a long time what his device.
Another tip in conclusion: Coffee beans close again well and put them in the refrigerator. So the beans stay fresh and the flavor also.
For perfect coffee foam should only use cold milk.

I hope I could help with my review and my video one or the other.
If the competitors products (Jura) one looks at and compares the price, then I must say that I am very pleased with this fully automatic.
More you can not really ask (I had for 7 years a Jura fully automatic machines)
