Posted Fri May 25, 2012, 7:30pm Subject: Broken Odea Go machine, repair or replace
Hi,
I own a Saeco Odea Go that I've used for about the last 5 years paid about 600$ for it. Making at least 3-4 espresso daily. All of a sudden the machine started to leak while infusing, and the steamer stopped working.
Took the unit to repair; steamer dial and seal need replacement and an electronic board is also broken. Repair bill 210$
So what should I do now, should I repair it or just buy a new one. Should I be affraid that some more repair (boiler, grinder, compressor, etc) may be needed soon?
I've seen some new Talea Giro Plus units for about 900$ on kijiji, and I'm tempted to upgrade at the same time

Most people that frequent here would suggest an upgrade to a different class of machine. You might look at amazon for reviews from the type of people most likely to buy a superauto.
