Bottom Line: First machine & probably last machine I'll ever have to buy. If you're on the fence, spend your money now on this machine, and you will thank yourself later.

Bottom Line: Very well design machine for home use, would be better if it was cheaper. But as a whole, I find I have no regrets from buying it compared to a HX machine.

Bottom Line: I'd buy it again, even if they don't fix the Manometer and Timer issues. I can fix the rest but I should not have to.
