Aesthetically, I find it more successful than previous models and easier to maintain (but beware, chocolate-pod door some older models is not compatible).
The handling is much simpler and convenient thanks to touch controls.
The pleasure: choose oneself, on the spur of the moment, any kind of mix between an elongated American-style coffee and a very strong coffee. Better if you receive a friend, you can do two different dosages.
A small flaw, since we must find one: the power cord is too short, at least for my kitchen.
However, if you live in an area where the water is "hard" or a chlorine taste, I suggest you consider purchasing a model with filter: Philips HD7873 / 51 Senseo Twist Quartz Vermilion Cartridge Brita Filtrante Cap 8 Cups.
I forgot: if Philips had the generosity to join his coffee a small assortment of pods, it would not be a luxury ;-)
