(Copy of my own Post for your benefit) I've had this since Nov 2007 & functionally its performed well but attempted just now to contact the Ariete HQ in Italy seeking a replacement tray. The metallic finish (beneath the perforated stainless sheet) begain corroding on the inside corners within the first two months & has progressed to a point that it literally appears to be an active chemical reaction slowly working its way in six or seven areas. I now worry whether the internal parts might also be of suspect (read : CHINA) manufacture.

I've had it over a year, used 1-2 times/day. I use the frother all the time. You have to clean out the hole occasionally (and be sure to clean the outside and then briefly blast steam through after each use).Other than some water always being below the drip tray and a learning curve not to get soupy pucks, no complaints at all, and the coffee is great. Getting the screw loose holding in the top filter/gasket for descaling was a little tricky - needs a short screwdriver and careful pressure.

I have had my machine for a year. I use it several times a day, for both cappuccino and americano, and have had no problems. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but I love the machine. It's all I use for coffee.

Did you bother to clean this machine? I'd bet not. You might want to spend some time getting rid of the calcification, a very simple process that will probably allow your machine to operate properly.

I don't remember if I had one or not, but probably at least some kind. I think if you are buying a refurbished one, it should say how long for that particular machine. Hope this helps.

1 yr i think. This machine is the very best out there pricey, but worth it ...allways starts on first try 4 years and still like new

From my experience using 2 of these units over 2-3 yrs. I find if you keep it clean it works quite well. I record about 30 hours. weekly.

I have had my Cuisinart for over 2 years now. I use it a couple times a week. Still going strong, love this machine.

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy.Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

We've had one at work for almost 2 years and it is still working great, At home my husband and I have had 3 Keurig machines in 5 years. I decided this last time I was going to buy a Cuisinart because the one at work is doing great and it is used constantly. We've only had ours at home for a couple months - so far so good.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?

Same here. I don't think this machine is as good as it used to be. I wish I could help. I'm really disappointed with this purchase.

We've had ours for 4months. We use it every day and are very pleased with it.

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

I use ours everyday and have had no issues as of yet. We purchased in Feb 2011.

I decided to get the extended warranty just to be sure. It was recommended somewhere. It was like 14.99 $ for 2 years or ... Would recommend doing the same. I have been happy with my machine so far.

We have had no issues with the motor to date. We have had another similiar machine and the average use is 2 years. This is our first time purchasing this machine and so it's a test. Will leave a review if it does fail. We love it right now but do suggest purchasing the mat to put underneath as our two cats, do kick out the litter.

I bought mine about 5-6 months ago, my first deep fryer. Probably have used 40-50 times, I'm still "experimenting" with ideas to try. ... am convinced " If it ain't fried, it ain't good."I have yet to find ANY issue/problems -- a great unit

Our company has had a unit since February 2013. It gets used every day by around 30 plus people and works great. We have had no problems at all with this unit. Got another one in April 2013 and it also is working great. I know have 2 more coming for otherdepartments. Hope this helps you.
