Unfortunately, the operating costs are not to be despised. If you follow the recommendation of the manufacturer and the thing every 2 weeks cleans me the original detergent, then the very very expensive (about 10 euros for three times). Also, the antibacterial Silver Stick should be changed at least annually (about 30 euros).
If the thing so the whole year running, the cost, no electricity, before 200 euros per year. This should be kept in mind if you like At length a device.
Addition:
The "official descaling" CalcOff is none other than citric acid in powder form. Because I know that now, the cleaning costs fall below 10 euros a year :)
