Just like the previous reviewer I got this awesome machine at a great price from Walmart at $350! No body can beat that price and believe me I did my research for quite some time. My parents visiting from Canada fell in love with it and wanted to buy one as well but unfortunately Walmart has run out of them (I wonder why? :). I have seen this machine priced for as much as $800, talk about greed! Do your research people, I hate to pay a penny more than I have to. Anyway, what can I say about the machine? It's fantastic and I don't even drink coffee. I bought it for my wife and she loves the rich aroma and crema! No need to messing around with a tamp and a grinder, just press the button and in less than 30sec you got yourself a nice espresso or cappuccino. No need to wait for frothing the milk since the machine has two boilers. Very easy to clean since the brewing group is removable unlike some other more expensive brands. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase that makes great quality coffee and it didn't cost an arm and a leg :).

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this machine 2 months ago. it works great, delicious espresso and cappuccino. I paid $449 + $15 shipping here on Amazon through J&R. The price has gone to over $750? What happened? I wouldn't buy it at this price.
Update: 6-2010: I am happy with the machine, no problems. However, I have received a lot of feedback that this model has problems. Be sure to look further into the reviews before buying this particular model.
February 2012: I am happy to report that the machine is going on 3 years old without an issue.

After only a month with this machine, I feel compelled to share my enthusiasm. Its my first Saeco, and my first (actually my second) super-automatic. I had bought a Jura and spent an uneasy month before returning it. I then happened to notice a great price on the Italiano, and placed my order. Right out of the box, the quality of the espresso was the best ever, with easy programming and outstandingly consistent results. After some tweaking of the beans used and the grind settings, the crema and underlying aroma are almost beyond description. I'm still in a learning mode with the pannarello, but my frothing skills are increasing steadily. Cleaning the brew group is easy, the water tank is adequately large, and the dregs drawer makes me smile each time I empty the perfectly-compacted pucks of spent grounds. One or two small quibbles: the finger guard on the bean container was a huge nuisance, so I removed it, and the adjustability of the coffee spout is limited. For the price, though, an absolute steal.
UPDATE: Another two months have passed and my love affair with the Italiano has matured into a long-term relationship. We've even stopped using our drip coffeemaker completely, as the large cup setting on the Saeco makes a far superior drink.
