Absolutely astounded that a supposed “High End” machine would last only 2 years. Between the machine (Vertuo Next Deluxe), the frother and the capsules, I spent over $500.00 on my original purchase (2 years ago). I was just told today that my machine is broken and it would be more to send it back to fix it than to just buy another machine. WHY would I by another machine when it’s just going to die in 2 years, or, from what I’ve been seeing in reviews, less than a year. I honestly feel like going to the Nespresso Boutique and telling everyone in there that’s thinking of buying one of these machines to stay away and spend their hard earned money elsewhere. That’s what I’ll be doing. I’m now stuck with a pile of pods and a frother that are of no use to me which I also spent my hard earned money on. I will be telling as many people as I can to stay away from this product.
