Is this model the most current one? They made changes in 2012? I am wondering why it is almost half the price as the one on the Martelli website.

Because they only list the retail price. No one actually sells it for that.

As I'm sure you are aware that new models of items come out every year. A knob is changed here, a color changed there, maybe a few more BTU's or Watt's. That's basically it, this is last years model at a substantial discount.

I just looked on the Safety 1st website and this looks like it is a current model. The actual seller would be the one to contact about when it was manufactured, however. If you are worried you can always buy directly from Safety 1st. It is currently listed there for a few dollars more (probably plus shipping costs, as well). Or you could find a store to buy from.

Best of luck finding them below a vendor cost this year... wholesale prices are more than that .. and there is no such thing as free freight (the vendor pays) Last year there was a closeout that Amazon may have taken advantage of .. this year there is a quality Italian glass shortage, which explains why this item was not even available for months .. last years closeout prices have nothing to do with current replacement costs... this price is below the retail stores prices - delivered. UPDATE... Amazon again made a regular purchase and priced them per their last years closeout - they have no clue they are selling these below wholesale cost (look at their suggested retail) ... as a vendor for Bormioli - these type things get my blood boiling - but as a consumer I would say GRAB all you can .. they are below wholesale costs.

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

To be honest I bought mine through Amazon Warehouse as I could not find any "new" machines. I had bought one years ago through Starbucks and loved it (which is still going strong) Anyway I needed another expresso maker and could not find any as good as it at making the perfect shot. I am so glad I found one at the Warehouse for half the price as well!!!! I don't know if they make them now at all, but both of mine are made in Italy.

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...

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

I use mine occasionally. There are now DOZENS of competitors on the market. I have not compared mine with less expensive options. The foxLV2 does remain a very well constructed unit.

That's the one I bought in July and sure didn't get it for $29.00! No wonder they're gone! I paid $69+ for mine and i do like it. It's a little heavy to handle, but is very sturdy which I appreciate.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon.I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

It is the only one I know of that came out recently. There may some newer ones, but they were more expensive than this model.

I bought mine in 2011 - not sure when it was originally made but the model is updated. It's not as 'easy' as the salesmen make it seem. Taking on and off the attachments is a pain.

This is last years model. The price reflects that with a ~50% reduction from last years retail price. This years new model should be out in May. You don't need to use all the features but it is nice to have the option.

I bought mine in the last 6 months and it has many more features than my original one. I don't know the model year. I know there are other ones out there. I recently saw another brand at Walmart but the unit was so much bigger than this one. I guess it depends on whether or not you like the smaller size, or if you could use the added features.

Yeah it's pretty sad. Old out dated model's price increasing. Seems like counter intuitive of how things work.

The unit is very good. Much better than the newest model. I was so impressed with the J8005 after my 20 yr old model that I also purchased the newest vertical model. Hard to clean, stalls out and way too complex - just not good. I believe the J8006 is slightly better than the 8005 that I have and the best they ever made. It is an induction motor and you will have to spend a little over $120 for a transformer or stepdown converter for France 220 volt unless there is a cheaper way.
