3.0 out of 5 stars superfluous for Saeco Odea Giro, February 28, 2010

needed (basically just) descaler but this kit came up as recommended on Amazon for our Saeco Odea Giro unit. the kit also includes the lubricant, a "paintbrush" to apply it to the brew group's hard-to-reach places, and a water filter (which we don't bother with; our drinking water is triple-filtered as it is). there's also a package of cleaning tabs which can't be used with the Odea Giro, unfortunately (as it doesn't have an automatic cleaning cycle).

next time around, i'll just buy the less expensive Urnex Dezcal descaling solution, which is evidently the OEM product that Saeco private labels in this kit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Kit -- but does not include device to install filter., April 16, 2009

We have "not great" water. When the warning light -- filter needs changing came on -- and we didn't have a filter -- none came with our Saeco "Easy", we bought this kit. It's great -- with one exception. We used all the chemicals, and really cleaned up our Saeco, but the $3.00 device to insert the filter is not in the kit. So, we couldn't install the filter until we shopped at the Saeco outlet and bought one. Now that we can change filters, we will probably continue to purchase these kits periodically to service our much loved Saeco.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incompatible with Saeco Vienna Plus, December 27, 2010

The majority of the expense of this product is the water filter, which does NOT fit the Saeco 4038 Vienna Plus. Shame on Amazon for suggesting bundling them...
