I found a place, The Gourmet Depot, that sells factory reconditioned machines and was wondering if anyone has bought from them and what their experience was with the machines. I can't locate anything about the company doing a search on the forums.
I am looking at a LaPavoni lever machine. I am thinking there isn't that much to go wrong with a manual machine, so a reconditioned one shouldn't be too risky.
Any comments?

Pavoni's can be reconitioned forever, there's even places that will fabricate the gaskets on older models. On the newer Professional an very new Europiccolo models, make sure the pressure stat is working properly (the control for boiler pressure).

Don't know the company you're asking about
