Laurie Bond	09.20.2009	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Great machine but no longer made. Did Solis go under?

Ethan Hartman	04.28.2007	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Best-in-class steaming makes this unit a compelling value.

Pine Siskin (quality: 4.3)	07.10.2002	Rating: 0.2
Bottom Line: Be sure if you buy this machine to insist they replace it within the warranty period if it doesn't work. If it does work, I defer to the excellent review on this site by a staff person.

Joe Loewenstein (quality: 4.4)	07.26.2000	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: A fine low-budget pump machine. With good coffee, it makes a better product than I can buy anywhere in St. Louis.

Paul Hanley (quality: 4.4)	06.09.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: You simply cannot do better for less than $300.00 IMHO

Mike Dahlor (quality: 4.8)	11.11.2005	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Outside a few "dream" upgrades, the best in its class.

Debbie Boiano (quality: 5.0)	08.12.2004	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: One year later I need a new machine.

Jim Robin (quality: 6.2)	02.09.2000	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: An okay machine for those who like milk-based drinks, don't want to think much about tamping, and aren't concerned about plastic parts and appearance.

John Adams (quality: 6.3)	07.03.2006	Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Don't buy this machine, it doesn't last!

Caron Golden (quality: 6.5)	04.16.2006	Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: I'd look for a machine that has better construction and a longer warranty. A $300 machine shouldn't simply die in three years.

Colin Newell (quality: 6.5)	12.31.2001	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: This is the best bang for the espresso buck for any level of coffee love!

Luc Busquin (quality: 6.5)	06.23.2002	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: OK for milk based drinks, forget about straight espressos.

Lee Rodgers (quality: 6.7)	04.11.2006	Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Good machine, but it does have a limited life span.

John Kangas (quality: 6.9)	06.18.2002	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Good cheap starter, or if you're in a hurry.

Garry Garrison (quality: 7.0)	03.19.2004	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: A good buy and an excellent workhorse that produces an excellent espresso with little fuss.

Ly Foley (quality: 7.0)	05.15.2009	Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Would I recommend it to a friend? YES

Michael Sacco (quality: 7.5)	01.16.2005	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Get this machine if you're starting out but want to learn. Also get the non press. basket and the Rocky. Quite a Team

Dave Dawes (quality: 8.0)	04.22.2002	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: High quality components and good-to-great espresso at a very reasonable price.

Stan Malyshev (quality: 8.0)	07.19.2004	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Quality internals, cheap body, great espresso.

Jim Fradkin (quality: 8.0)	12.10.2004	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: For the first eleven months, the SL-70 made great lattes. After that, one thing after another broke.
