DO NOT buy any Nespresso machine, ours only lasted about 15 months before it stopped working. We sent the machine back to Nespresso at their behest via DPD who packed it into a pink box and the employee commented on how clean it was (my wife meticulously cleaned the machine after each use ). The machine was returned to use about 10 days later in an appalling and filthy sate and needless to say was still not working properly. The company's explanation for the failure of the machine was that we had not been using it on a daily basis, how ridiculous, imagine if this applied to the purchase of a car.The company are refusing to give us a full, refund or to replace the machine with a new one despite the fact it is supposed to be guaranteed for a period of 3 years, this is clearly not being honoured. This appalling company needs to spend some money on enhancing their products so that they are reliable and endure rather than paying George Clooney and co to promote their unreliable products. We have sought advice from the appropriate authority and it may well be that legal action will b e taken against this company. It's a shame as the coffee although expensive is nice , however unless the machines are working there's no point in purchasing the coffee pods and we cannot understand the the conduct of this company as it is obvious that it will only be a matter of time before this company ceases to exist in view of the many complaints about it on this and other review sites. Also on the last occasion we ordered the coffee pods they arrived with some of them damaged and the pods could have been tampered with putting the customer at risk ( have they never heard the concept of food terrorism). We will be complaining to the foods standard agency about this and in our opinion this company should be made to stop trading until they get their house in order!
