Great machine if you use the base.

Works like a charm for entertaining my 7 yr old. It created clouds of bubbles that are fairly constant and definitely works well. I had an earlier model last year and it was not as good as this one. The little cap that works with the bubble bottle is great, and they didn't have that cap with the last version that we had.

As a woodworking instructor I have seen three of these machines sustain quite a work load nearly everyday for the past several years. All three are still going strong despite the use, misuse and even abuse they take from high school students. They have far surpassed the longevity of other routers we have burned through in the past.  We have,however, encountered one problem in particular. That is the need for very frequent cleaning of the grooves that allow depth adjustment!  Once these become "clogged" with dust the machine can be very difficult to adjust. Which means that it is almost impossible to take apart to clean. I wish P.C. would come out with a way to remove the motor from the base without the need to unscrew it. This has proven to be a major design flaw. Otherwise, our machines have been great.

This is a very effective little machine that is priced right.  It has one flaw which brings it down one star, however; I will elaborate this defect at the end. And it's not the fact that the hydraulic piston heats up while you exercise, as so many others have already noted.  My laser thermometer tells me the temperature goes up to about 200 degrees F after a 30 minute workout.  Because the hydraulic fluid heats up as you use it, I have to turn up the "tension" one notch or so about every five to seven minutes to keep a consistent work effort.  I start off with an initial setting of 4 and then end up at around 10 or 11 after 30 minutes of work.  After a few months of use I ended up having to set the back end on the first step of my stairs in order to get a challenging enough workout.  Otherwise, even at its highest setting I wouldn't get a challenging enough workout to build up a good sweat.  Now I use six one inch hardwood boards to prop up the back end (I also have them stacked against the front of a sofa so they don't move around) so that I don't have to set up the machine at the foot of my stairs every time I want to use it.  Using the boards like I do you can adjust the height up and down for varying degrees of increased effort.  This is really a lightweight machine, so I have to modify the environment to make it work.  I imagine that a much heavier individual (I weigh 144 lbs) might tear it apart after no more than a year.  But for the money it's still a good buy even if you had to replace it after a year's heavy use.  You get what you pay for, as the saying goes.  The bad part: the cable that connects the simple little computer via an EXTREMELY thin/flimsy wire to the sensor hidden in the rail under the seat broke after only 10 months of use and approximately 62,000 reps.  (I keep track of the reps by placing a small mark on the machine every time it turns over at 10,000 reps...if I hit a million reps, maybe I'll buy myself a nice gaming laptop one day...I'm up to 112,000 reps after 14 months...so maybe a few more years...haha).  Said wire is about the thinnest gauge possible, and on top of that the plastic sheathing for the copper wires is very stiff, cheap, plastic.  I wrote the company complaining about it and they sent me a new one but not until I paid $7.  I suppose it's not much, but the point is that it didn't last a year, and on top of that the wire is very clearly cheaply made.  They could have spent another 2 cents per unit to put in a thicker-gauged, more flexible, wire.  after I replaced the wire I covered the portion that rubs against the frame with about 6 inches of 1/4 inch drip hose to protect it.  I have attached two photos. One showing my setup with the one inch boards, and the other one showing where the cheap/stiff wire can break with use, and how I protected it with 1/4 inch hose.

Let me start off by saying that you will be happy with this machine.  It performs very well, and your family will absolutely love it.  I've had mine since spring.  I've had several Jura Capresso superautomatics before this one, and the Miele makes the best coffee.  This machine is fast, infinitely customizable (each family member can have their own profile), relatively attractive (see the end of the review), makes a great kitchen nightlight with its white LEDs, and will earn you street cred...or something like that.  It's not without its flaws, however.
  We tend to enjoy Americanos, but there really isn't a one-step process to make one.  There's a "Coffee" button, but that makes a bigger espresso, but it doesn't fill a mug.  You can customize the amount of water (you can customize EVERYTHING, Peaches!), but all that water flows through the grounds, overextracting and making a cup of diarrhea that a Folgers fan wouldn't even drink.  You have to brew a shot of espresso and then move your cup underneath a separate hot water nozzle and fill up the cup.  Two steps- big deal...  But this is a 3K coffeemaker.  The coffee button should brew an espresso and then fill the cup with water.  Duh.
  It's not the lowest maintenance machine out there, so be prepared to do some cleaning that other supers don't require.  If you use the milk features, which work flawlessly, you'll need to run a simple cleaning process at the end of the day.  This basically entails adding some hot water to a container, pouring their special cleaning solution in, pressing the menu buttons a few times, waiting six minutes, refill the cleaning container with clean water, then waiting another minute or two.  You can walk away and do something else, and it's not at all complicated, but you do want to remember to do it or the milkwork can get clogged.
  And finally, the thing that really gets my goat, the display on this thing is just ____ing awful.  They went and found the ugliest orange LCD they could.  It's crap and its ugly.  I paid 3K for a coffeemaker.  Did they think we'd sniff at foisting over $200 more for a color screen?  Miele, you cheap bastards!
  Again, this is the best out there, but I will be watching Miele carefully for the next version.  Hopefully they will address these minor issues and add a drain!

This machine works very well.  There are two reasons why I give it three stars because unlike the previous Cuisinart I had on which the delay timer broke, this one does not have a view panel to see the water level when you fill it up.  You have to look down the water reservoir to see the level markers.  This may not be such a big deal if you currently just fill the carafe with the desired amount of water and then pour it in.  I like to use filtered or bottled water so it is an extra step to fill the carafe and then pour in when on my old one I could just pour from my water pitcher or water bottle and see from the side how much I was pouring in.  The second reason I don't like this machine as much as my old grind and brew model  is because you don't seem to be able to lift out the container basket that the gold filter basket sits in.  That means you have to soak up any condensation or coffee with a paper towel after each use before whatever gunk dries in there and creates a film of residue. (Strangely, the inner basket has a plastic loop sticking out the top which leads you to believe you can easily lift this out.  I tried, but it doesn't lift out.  Now, I am not pulling really hard because I don't want to break it, but maybe it really does come out after pressing a secret button or something?  I will search the instruction manual to see for sure and will revise this review if I find a way to lift it free without damaging the parts.)  Anyway, this bothers me because I don't like any water or residue sitting in there between uses for any potential mold or gross matter to accumulate.  With the grind and brew, you could lift out the plastic cartridge and wash or rinse it.  This might not be an issue for you either, but since I am a short person and this coffee pot sits under an overhanging cabinet, I have to pull the machine as far out as possible to both fill water and try to see down the water reservoir and the plastic container to see what is what.  Even standing on my toes this is difficult to do, so for me at 5' 3" that is annoying.
You might wonder why I didn't just buy another grind and brew.  Well, whether you use the grinder or not, heavy condensation collects in the grinder part, so you are going to have to remove it and clean it after each use.  Now, you may think, hey, I use my coffee pot every day, there's no funky stuff growing in there.  Check again, especially in the grinder.  Somehow, if I didn't clean or dry that part out, slimey stuff seemingly  came from nowhere which is now my concern with the cartridge basket that won't lift out from under the filter basket on this particular machine here.  I just figured I would use my separate grinding machine whenever I needed it to save this extra cleaning step.

Besides those two annoying features, this is a really good coffee maker.

This was a x-mas gift for my mother. I was concerned about the appearance of the roomba because I had read reviews which stated that the refurbished roombas were in bad shape. This was not true for me. My mom's new roomba looked great; no scuff marks and everything seemed to be in top shape. Manual was included. I would like to point out some problems with the roomba which may not have anything to do with its refurbished status. First of all, the roomba has trouble using its homebase on hardwood floors. When driving away from the homebase, it will drag the homebase for a foot or two. When driving back onto the homebase, it will push it along the floor and will not dock. It will only dock if the homebase is flush against a wall. I expect that taping the homebase to the floor will fix this problem pretty easily. Another problem is that if the roomba should be nudged off of the homebase, it will not charge. If you leave it like this for a while the battery will drain. The roomba has a hard time with rug tassels. It will get stuck on them, like any vaccuum, and it will make a valient effort to free itself, which it sometimes does. Thus, in some cases the roomba is not fire and forget. My mom plans to use it in her new yoga studio where she can make it clean every night after classes. We have no doubt that it will perform well in the wide open space. The included remote works well.

This machine is a great buy for your dollar. The only problem i have with my machine is the arms you use to do the dips move in and out when you do dips and aren't the most stable. Other than that it's great chunk of metal.

Great machine with a heated base---but the print head will only work on PLA.  Don't know any plans on a ABS capable  print head.
Great machine otherwise.  Capacity is great.

I like the machine, but had some difficulty in putting it together.  I finally went online to Hoover and read through other comments and found the one relating to my issue.  Once I read that, I was able to finish putting it together.  I was amazed at how much dirt it picked up.  The floors dry fast.  It's a little noisy, but the cleaning goes fast.  The only issue is not being able to use it towards the back of the toilet, so will do by hand.  Other than that, I like it.

I have used this router many years ago in a cabinet shop that did laminate trimming on a daily basis.  Although It did a fine job trimming and felt great in the hand the one major flaw is the motor base does not fully support the base plate, hence if this router is dropped and is hit at the unsupported base it will crack off, after all these base plates are hard brittle plastic.  Being a production router, used everyday, as careful as you are this can happen eventually.  What does make this a nice trimmer is that it is not at all top heavy (common with trimmers).

I have had my machine for 5 1/2 years and still love it to this day. It does an excellent job, is easy to use, and picks up more than I knew existed. It is kind of heavy and bulky, but ease of use and ability to clean the machine far outweigh the weight. Make sure you have some zip ties handy if you have pets! It'll loosen the hair in hard to reach places do you can clean it out well!

Agreeing with the previous reviewer, this is a great machine once you get it together. It took my husband and I both to line up bolts and openings correctly to get parts together. Nothing lined up, and we ended up shaving some rubber coating off the handles to get the bolts to even catch and tighten. Took us over an hour to get it together. That said, it has been a great machine to work out on for the price. Easy-to-use programming, cooling fan, cushioned support, etc. The power switch is in an awkward place on the bottom front of the treadmill.

I just purchased this machine, and I like it for the most part. I'd give it a five if the steps weren't so short. It took a little while to adjust to that, but it can give your legs a burn if you're up for the workout.

Putting this machine together would have been simple--if we'd had the right screwdriver. We are not tool-poor, so it was odd that none of our screwdrivers worked. We had to make a quick trip to Lowe's to get one that was long enough. Fortunately, it did the job, and I was off and running.

A few years ago we put down hardwood in most of the rooms. We still had one large room with carpet but had only vacuumed it over the years. As you might imagine, it was pretty dirty. I was amazed at how well the Bissell cleaned. It took a long time (lightly soiled carpets will take much less time), but there was a visible difference. The room also smelled better.

A few things worth mentioning ...

This a heavy machine. You need to be physically strong, and even then, you don't want to have to lift it often.

As for the spot cleaner...It comes off the unit easily and is a nice feature to have. I'd like to try it on the car interior and upholstery in the future.

Make sure everything clicks and locks into place. There's a lot going on with this machine, and if everything isn't just so it won't work properly.

After I was finished the carpet seemed slightly damp, so we ran the dehumidifier for a while. The last thing you want after you've cleaned your carpet is mildew and mold.

All in all, I recommend this machine for lightly soiled to filthy carpets. It'll save you money (and you won't have strange people in your house) because you can clean your carpets yourself.

Very easy to assemble (maybe takes 20 mins), and I'm a girl :-).  Very easy to operate as well, but I've only used this machine for a couple of minutes.  I'm already impressed with its sturdiness and power.  Also, LOVE that (instead of switching out, and having to store, big long cumbersome spray guns (like the last couple of electric power washers I've had), you only need to switch out the nozzle "head" on the wand, and these nozzle heads fit snugly right into the front panel of the unit.  By the way, there are 4 nozzle heads = 3 that increase in flow intensity, (i.e., "width" of water spray released) plus the nozzle head to be used when you are using the soap.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the Owner's Manual states you should use the dipstick to gauge when the oil reservoir is full and includes a big bold warning "Do Not Overfill".  Sadly, however, if you don't fill it ALL THE WAY to where it is literally dripping back out, the unit will not start.  I know because I had to spend $21 to schlep it to a Generac service location (when the PW wouldn't start) and the technician showed me that the dipstick is not reliable, and to fill it **all the way to the threads**.  And if you don't have enough oil in the reservoir, the unit will not start (protective mechanism).  So, the Manual's wording/instructions in that regard cost me $21 (and a trip to the local service shop)...and cost Generac a 5th star :-)

This machine is a beast.  When I run conferences, I will often put 8 - 10 lbs of beans through this machine per day.  It holds up very well most of the time.  However, sometimes it will jam up.  When it does, the process of removing the beans, completely taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together can be timely and messy.  Usually I have to tinker with it to get it working, and then once it's set right, I do everything I can to avoid messing with it more than I have to.

This is a great machine with design features that make it an outstanding buy. It is especially suited for use in a router table. There is one problem, it seems the engineers went a little overboard on the safety features and created a problem for those of us who use an enclosed dust collection system and an external power switch on the router table.

When the bit is extended all the way out for changing, the shaft is automatically locked so only one wrench is needed ... Great idea. But the power switch must be turned off so a plastic shield can cover it ... router must be lifted above the table. Then after the bit is changed the router must be once again lifted above the table to turn the power switch on again. This switch cover defeats the benefit of the router being used in a table without a lift. An annoying feature on a really great router.

Maybe Triton will come up with a fix??

If you have an open table or don't mind the safety overkill ... BUY IT You will love it.
