I use my machine about three times a day. Are there any heavy users out there that can tell me if this model holds up to heavy use?

I've had mine for almost 5 years and brew 12-16 shots a day and it's still going strong. The steamer still works great as well.

We bought ours as a replacement to a Starbucks Saeco machine (which we used heavily for 9 years), and were very disappointed in it. It lasted about two years with using it 2 to 3 timese a day. The steamer is what went bad - making the milk taste burnt. If you are just using it for the espresso, my guess is that it will hold up fine.

We've had ours for 10 years, using it every day, multiple times, and just now it's losing its some pressure, but it still works. It makes great espresso.

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.

I've had mine for about 2 years, I guess, and have no problems with it. But then again, I'm not using it all the time. Seems to be well made. It certainly is heavy! Have had no need for warranty repairs.

I've had it for about 6 months now. I use it daily and haven't had any issues.

No problems here so far. Machine honestly isn't used that heavily, though - maybe once or twice a month.

I love mine and honestly as long as you keep it clean after using it, then that's the biggest maintenance there is. I recommend this 99%

I've had mine for several years now, use it often and for long periods, and I've not had any problems. I will admit that I go out of my way to take care of my equipment and use it properly.

Hi John93 I use this every day or sometimes every other day without any problem.

My experience tells me that this computer is very durable and has held up well during the three years I have had it. All I can say is that I have had my unit for three years and have not had a single problem. I love, love, love this computer and would buy another immediately if I had a problem with the one I have.

I have owned this machine for about one year, and I usually use it twice per day. So far it has run just fine, however, I do remove the filter and the drain plate one a month to clean them because they can clog which prevents the machine from draining properly.

I've personally had mine for a couple years now. But where I'm at with it, I can get about an hour, give or take, with heavy usage (i.e. watching HD videos online, etc.).

3-5 hours of heavy use when I had it. Have since given the computer to my son who uses it.

We currently own two of these units. Both have been used daily for 6-9 months for 2-4 hours and are still going strong. No problems to report.

I use mine every single day and have not one problem. Works great! See if your unit has a warranty and contact manufacturer listed on manual.

We have this model and shred with light to moderate usage - 100-200 pages daily. Have not experienced a problem in a several months we owned it.

It is designed for heavy use (up to 8 hours a day). I can see it lasting for years!
