Approximate Time Owned 2013 Rating Overall 4/5 Reliability Rating 5/5 Value for the Price 5/5 Usability Rating 5/5 Aesthetics Rating 4/5 Detailed Review Good: built like a tank, stable temps, consistent pressure which make consistent pours. Bad (but not so bad): looks dated, edges are sharp, steam wand gets loose easily

Built like a tank. Stable temps and easy to work with. Consistent pours through the years. The only downside I could think of is its appearance coz it's a bit dated.
