I have found that people who know the machine know the Simona is a quality machine.
Positive Product Points
This machine gives more than value for money.
Negative Product Points
Because this machine's value for money benifits have not yet been discovered by the popular retail end of the market, it suffers from there not being much information on the net about it.
Detailed Commentary
Over all I have to agree with the information in the review that was provided by Gregor. His review was to my mind very accurate.
The Simona is a very well built machine which was years ahead of its time and today still represents good value.
It's no beauty queen but it does the job of producing good coffee and steam without fuss time and time again.
The only problem I have had is that there is a very limited amount of information out there on it including user information and experience. In fact, I have only found one user group on the internet for the Simona. For those who are interested it is at http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/SimonaTopUser/ .
Buying Experience
I had excellent experience with 9 Bar which is a coffee machine vendor here in Sydney, Australia.
