Query: Good Espresso but short life

Initially I was very excited to use this machine. It made decent espresso with ease and despite the short stem, the steamer made good foamy froth. But in less than 4 months, the machine stopped working. I guess it has to do with the lack of a self cleaning system but after trying out every cleaning tip suggested on this review/board, the machine is still not working. It makes hopt water but doesn't generate sufficient pressure to extract coffee.We are past our return window.... What a waste of money!!! stay away from this machine. It is cheap for a reason.
