Review on De "Longhi Magnifica ECAM 22.360 coffee machine, black by Celina Marciniaks ᠌

I chose between this and Philips HD 8828. The latter was 5.7% cheaper, but only black + the water container is taken out from it upwards, which can be somewhat hindered by wall cabinets in the kitchen. Also, some people say that Philips coffee is not hot enough. Received without checking. At home, it turned out that the machine did not go through the initial start-up procedure (filling the hydraulic system with water). After choosing the language, she stubbornly demanded to install a “spout” of a hot water supply device, despite the fact that I installed / removed it 20 times. A simple microswitch sensor did not work, which determines the fact that the spout was installed. With the help of a toothpick, by pressing the sensor, I found out that everything basically works, i. E. either the microswitch is installed in the wrong place, or the plastic protrusion of the "nose" is short and does not reach the sensor. On the Internet I saw messages of other users about a similar situation. The problem is elementary, but for Delonghi I wrote it down as a minus for the quality of the assembly / output control. I already wanted to disassemble the car myself to move the sensor (not the fact that it would be easy), but fortunately Delonghi uses screws for which I did not have a tool. I returned it to the store, where I exchanged it for a new one without any problems, but asked me to carry out the initial launch procedure right on the spot. Actually coffee was not required for this, only water. I made sure that this time the sensor worked clearly. A week has passed, we drank several dozen cups of coffee at home, including cappuccino. The foam is great! I am satisfied with the purchase. I would like ETAM 36.365 - a little more compact, a newer platform, but the price for it, I think, is unreasonably high. Another possible interesting variant of Philips HD 8848 is able to cook almost correct Americano, but a) see my remark at the beginning, b) the price for it is also too high. Adequate price - in foreign online stores, even taking into account the delivery, it would be cheaper than my purchase. A similar Saeco also exists in light (silver), but even more expensive. Nevertheless, I recommend this particular device and hope for further trouble-free work.
