DeLonghi Primadonna S De Luxe ECAM26455M

This is a great machine – This coffee machine is very good I have had this machine now for two years and I make around 13 coffees a day as we have a big family. Easy to clean and use the only thing I'd say is I would of liked the coffee to be more hot and you cannot make it more than it already is but otherwise great machine  Show details

Steam Nozzle not working – I have this machine for one year and steam nozzle stopped working. I need to pull it and plug it back everytime to make it working. The grinder settings are very confusing. Need to descale every month. The machine gets very hot after making two coffee cups. Improvements are required.  Show details

Average coffee machine – This coffee machine was great for the first 2 years but not so much now. It takes coffee beans and grinds them fresh or you can use ground coffee also. We find the cofffee is really week and watery even on the strongest setting and it's not consistent. It does have some great features such as the self frothing milk container. It's a little tricky… Read more

and time consuming to clean. Definitely better machines now available for the price we paid 8 years ago.

Empty Circuit – Easy to use. I like to be able to use coffee beans not capsules. The coffee tastes good . Fairly easy to clean. Too many problems and costly repairs for such an expensive machine when it's under 5 years old ... Definitely won't be spending this amount of money on my next machine  Show details

Empty Circuit error – After 18 months use, Twice I had the empty circuit issu (pressure in circuit) no way the water enters the circuit. Too shame this error is so common.... Longevity of this machine? Maximum 3 years without problems. It s just easy to use machine, but too digitalized and informatic system make this impossible to repair without sending it to contructors...  Show details

Very very disapointed – Most temperamental expensive piece of stainless steel, only 15 months old when failed, now 24 months old. Had back to recommended De Longhi repairer on 4 separate occasions each time parts replaced, last week we got it back again after 3 weeks at repair shop. Yes it takes 10 days for parts to arrive from Australia. This time they fitted a new… Read more

electronic control board. We were told by repair agent that they did not want to see it again as it was costing them too much money. They obviously forgot how much it was costing us each time. Is this the best De Longhi can do in New Zealand ?

Love this machine – Purchased this machine reconditioned online.Have been very happy.Makes excellent coffee over and over as we are big coffee drinkers.The milk is hot and foams well.Easy to read manual and to change settings to your liking.Only con its noisy to use.Would happily recommend if you love your coffee at home to be as good as a cafe!

Ok unit but hard to justify the price – I've had this (particular) coffee machine for about three years now, as such I believe that this time period justifies my comments. The unit is a fairly good unit in terms of features and it's ability, apart from the fact that my original unit died within the first twelve months of ownership. However, the features etc don't really stack up to… Read more

the pricing of the unit at the time of purchase, despite shopping around and getting a good price. At over $2,300 for this unit I expected more. And now, after three years of ownership, the quality and longevity is starting to come into play. It has been playing up more and more often now and I honestly don't know how much longer it will last.

There is no point talking about quality of the coffee or anything like that as that is rarely an ability of the machine, rather that comes down to the type of beans and products used inside.

Fantastic Machine – We purchased this machine after our old machine started leaking and have never looked back. Such a great machine to use, so easy, one touch cappuccino button, latte's or flat whites. It's fantastic. Would highly recommend it.
