Advantages: Great ease of use

Disadvantages: Not entirely dripless

the good thing about this machine is its ease of use. Quick too, 6 mins to heat up which is good. The machine seems to be fairly durable to have a mostly plastic body.
It does require some expertise to get a perfect shot. (Pods make it a little easier). It does produce fabulous shots and will last you a long long time if you care for it. It does require tinkering with the amount of coffee and setup but that's expected of any semi-automatic machines. The machine warms up quickly so I can get a quick shot right before I leave for work. Its also very stylish it blends in nicely in the kitchen.
The machine is not entirely dripless so have a cleanup cloth handy, especially after using the steamer: it tends to drip quite a bit. I usually just put a paper towel under it. For this price you are getting a lot of plastic, so handle with care.
