Bottom Line: DON'T EVER BUY A KRUPS PRODUCT!!!!! Horrible horrible machine. First one didn't work out of the box. Second one worked once. Third one worked for 2 days

Bottom Line: Horrible machine for the $150 price it carries. More water than steam comes out of the steaming pipe.

Bottom Line: Good if you dont care, or dont know what you're doing, but serious buyers should drop a bit more cash for a real machine.
