EC155 vs BAR32 I've torn between which model to buy. Both have good and bad reviews. Can anyone make a recommendation between the 2?

Consumer reports rates the EC155 up with the more expensive ones. I don't know if they tested the Bar32. I bought the EC155, I am thinking of buying the bar32 to take to work.

it could be because that is the one on their website (the bar32 is not on there) so maybe they are pushing to sell that one. Also I believe it is a newer model

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...

I just bought a Bar32 and thought because it has larger space for cups, you can use larger cups.

These are old posts but for completeness you can adjust the steam on the bar32. In fact it's the only knob on the machine. Honestly I don't think there is any difference besides the looks. I believe the bar32 is newer. Why would they go from a speak design and downgrade to a box design? Machine works great. Get a cheap burr for under 100 and you've got something to work with.

I emailed DeLonghi customer service about this very issue, and the response was as follows:------------Dear Valued Customer Thank you for contacting Delonghi Customer Service. The differences between the two models are as follows: EC155 * Adjustable steam emmision * color-Black and Stainless BAR32 * color- Black and Silver Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance Sincerely Delonghi Customer Service ------------It appears there's a cup space difference and possibly some other minor differences, but the DeLonghi rep suggested the only notable difference was adjustable steam emission. Personally, I like the look of the BAR32 more, but I might go with the EC155 anyway for the adjustable steam.

I saw a video of use of each machine at http://blog.seattlecoffeegear.com/2011/03/11/crew-reviews-delonghi-ec155-bar32/It appears to me that the difference is that the EC155's flat surface serves as a cup warmer, and the BAR32 does not have that option. Also, it may be wishful thinking, but the BAR32 may have produced more crema, though not significantly.

You could go to the website or call the manufacturer but my installer seems to remember reading somewhere that it was just a newer version of the EC65. We did not use the platform that can be purchased with it and we were replumbing anyway because I had a solar system that surrounded it and needed to be rerouted. The manual that came with it says nothing about compatibility but mentions a EC65AC which we assume is a newer version but we purchased 65A. Good luck!

Hi Dave,Sorry, my writing style isn't always clear - I wrote a review of the LN52B750 only. My encouragement was meant to say, read all the user reviews on the various models that one is interested in, because that is what helped me.BTW - that's some company you've got there Dave, sounds like I've benefited more than I know as a viewer - many thanks for your good work!

Thank you! This was really helpful. I'm going with the ET-60, hope to test it out this weekend!

G510, when I got it on sale, was $75. Well worth the price difference, at the time. If it's not an emergency, just wait a while for the price to go down some on the 510. I don't think it'd be worth $40 difference, to me at least. Also, the G510 does NOT have the USB port on the back that is listed on the G110 - although from reading the G110 comments it seems like it was buggy anyways.

Bummer, still no responses re: which version Amazon is shipping. On of my RHEL5 linux users wants a webcam and I'd like to recommend this one. But I'm not going to do that and risk Amazon shipping an older model.

T,Thanks for the update, there is a picture of the ES350 to the right of this dialog box. I'm expecting to receive my "new" PP400E tomorrow.As long as it isn't green I should be ok. Good luck with yours, sounds like it should be a pretty decent machine based upon all the positive reviews.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

I bought mine used almost a year ago and it was completely worth the $500 I spent on it. If you haven't used mac before I would check one out at a store first. The one I got was in perfect condition with everything. This particular model is really nice. Very similar to the modern MacBook Pro. Looks basically identical but has the last gen of processors. I bought the upgrade to mountain lion and now mavericks and it runs them just fine. The only downside to these older models is that you cannot run mirror through your Apple TV. Otherwise it handles just about anything you could need.

No, sorry. I'm so happy with the performance so far that I haven't yet entertained the idea. I'd stick with Cisco-Linksys. My brother got the E-1200 a couple of months ago and he's happy.

As far as I know it's only a visual difference. I have the E751, and it sounds the same as the other. I would have preferred the E-750 as I like the wood finish better, but not at that price difference.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!

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. :-)

I am currently using the TR1200DT model. I am over 350 and it works just fine. That said, they do have a heavier duty model, the TR5000DT, but it's almost $1000 more than the 1200.

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!
