We sold about 10 Ariston coffee machines (built in), and if memory serves me well we replaced 6 with new ones, and gave the money back to the rest which I paid out of my own pocket because Aritson closed down / skipped the country :(

As i say if memory serves me well......

Yikes! Which country are you talking about?
They have re-entered the US market with some appliances
(laundry mostly). They are also co-selling their "point
of use" tank water heaters with Bosch. I also suspect this
new Espresso machine is being re-branded as "German" by
Scholtes.

The unit I have works great. It doesnt have two heaters, but it does function perfectly.
