So far so good, great first impressions! – Bought this for $249 from Clive Anthony's, which is $50 less than anywhere else has it at the moment.
Positives
Looks fantastic, I got white, they had no red in stock
Quick to heat up, ready to go in about 1 minute
Built in tamper is good
Decent sized water resivour
Decent amount of steam
Good warranty (2 year)
Negatives
No milk jug for frothing
Feels a bit cheap in parts, doesn't weigh much, and the body seems to be plastic rather than metal, but, all of the important parts are feel solid
It's my first coffee machine and I'm pretty happy, still need to practice my technique a bit, but pretty damn tasty coffees so far. Looks great, good warranty, decent coffee Doesn't feel as solid as it looks, no milk jug included
Was this a special deal? Or did you haggle?

I purchased the Delonghi (Icona) ECO310 because of it's compact size and lightness. I like my house streamline so I prefer to store it out of the way in a cupboard some of the time so I found this size and weight machine best without compromising on quality.
The machine is very easy to use and to keep clean- both important aspects. The nozzle comes apart so it can be washed properly every now and again.
This is my 3rd coffee machine purchase and by far my best because its right in the middle range for quality yet now quite cheap to buy. DeLonghi seems to have a great reputation but usually a little pricey. Harvey Norman included a 5 year warranty for an extra $50. This includes possible replacement or cash back if it ever comes to it. All up it cost me $280.00 which I'm very happy with!!
The machine looks like a stainless machine but is actually plastic so it wont rust. I chose the black/silver as it looks quite smart. There's a few youtube clips out there which give buyers a better idea of how to use the machine.
