What's the difference between this and the De'Longhi EC155 model (which is currently $20 cheaper)

Primarily because it has a larger portafilter basket and can hold more coffee. The basket on the delonghi is too small, I had to make my own larger basket and modify the portafilter to get a decent drink out of the thing. Otherwise they are comparable machines.

1) The ec220 looks like a $150 machine and the ec155 looks like a $50 machine, 2) the ec220 has about 1.5 inches greater clearance than the ec155 and lets you use regular mugs, and even some tall mugs if you remove the drip tray. I have taken both machines apart and can vouch they are both the same internally. I found the ec220 for less, but I would still spend the extra $20 on the ec220. That said, I would get the Poemia black for $120 if I could go back in time. :-)

Almost the same: same 15bar steam pump. One is a newer model that should mean they might have fixed problems if any.In my experience after a while in each model the steam/water valve starts leaking but then I fos why: you need to mantain it cleaning with a Citrix acid you can but for 9bucks. That will avoid clogging and expansion of the valve. First time I broke one I just bought a new one but the valve costs few bucks.I have three of this machine and had one previously: for the price they have great value and my cappuccinos are better than the one at Starbucks and at 95% of coffee shop in the usa.And I can tell I am italian Almost the same: same 15bar steam pump.

The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better. It seems to have more copper coverage which is why I was attracted to it to begin with. I see no reason for the new one to be more expensive. I would get the older model if I were you. I love mine. I do hand wash it. I don't know why but it is so simple and quick. I just put a drop of soap in it and wash it out as soon as I take the food out. Takes about 30 seconds. It cleans easier if you do it while the pan is still hot. I would not buy the new expensive model if you can still get the old one. The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better.

It looks like they are very similar; however, you should check out infantino.com to really compare them. I love my ecosash and use it all the time. It's comfortable and easy to use, even by yourself.

They are two different brands, but the makers look almost identical. I compared these two and chose Eurolux due to the cheaper price. I think these two have no significant difference. My friend has a CucinaPro and it works just like Eurolux.

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am unable to find the EH150 for a cheap price unless what you consider cheap is not so cheap for me. Can you please tell me exactly which model you meant is cheap?

The E model has an updated computer, and small design difference. The D will still give you the same great workout. Also, the E model is slightly elevated, ie, higher than the D. Otherwise, they are the same. I will use the E model for the next 10 years or more and the extra $ did not seem that important.

One model is higher easier to get on an off the machine. This is the price difference

I have the E4, and a friend who wanted one like mine ended up with the E5 as it was only $6 more. All the features are the same. They are both working great months (mine 7, his 3 or 4) later. Unfortunately the only device we have in common is the phone, and his laptop is even a smaller screen, so we really can't tell if the extra 2000 makes much difference.

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

I researched both before I purchased mine and determined that there wasn't a significant difference. I'm currently happy with this (but I guess I wouldn't know if something large enough to be damaging has occurred since I installed it). The specs and ratings looked functionally similar, however the more expensive one has a lifetime limited vs 10 year warranty and the $25k equipment coverage.

There differences are slight and I have show cased them in this video ==> http://dai.ly/x12fwc1 The main difference is price.

I believe it's just a newer model, same specs. I replaced our EC65 after 30 plus years with the EC65A, installed perfectly. The only thing i noticed was the new pressure gauge mount as it is designed on the shell casing, has a adapter. My old model just had a standard female 1/4"NPT for the gauge mount into the casing. The new EC65A model uses an adapter for the newer gauge type that threads into the casing with an o-ring seal, but you can still change out the gauge if required with its standard male 1/4" NPT gauge if desired, or if the one that comes with the filter ever fails.

I don't think there is any difference there. But my suggestin don't buy either. Better buy 798H secura. It's way better plus it's self cleaning. I got 997MC and I am tired of cleaning Regret regret and regret that I got it.

I don't see any difference....looks like that would be the place to buy it. I got it in Sept from amazon and paid 90 bucks. I'm happy with it but I also don't use it much.
