is there such thing as an Andreja Premium REDESIGNED ?
are they all the same? some vendor seems to advertized a REDESIGNED version for roughly 200-300$ more.

I don't know. Chris Nachtrieb works with manufacturers to address customer problems discovered in the field, thereby introducing incremental improvements. So the most accurate answer to "when" would be "all the time". He'd know the shipments that introduced change X, if a particular feature matters to you.

I've been looking at the differences pretty closely and I think they are worthwhile upgrades. I'm close to pulling the trigger on the "New Redesigned Andreja Premium":
# **NEW** Custom Made Knobs
# **NEW** Hinged Cover - No need to remove cup warmer to refile water tank
# **NEW** Easy Access Expansion Valve - No Need to Remove the Shell to Adjust
# **NEW** Easy Access Boiler Drain
# **NEW** Three Position Switch (left-on for initial fill, center-off, right-power on and heating)
The video is well produced and gives you a good look at the machine.
I've found the Andreja Premium for sale at several vendors and only two I know of are selling the "New Redesigned" for the same $1795 Chris' and Sweet Maria's, the latter says they drop ship from their distributor; guess who that may be. The others are selling the older machine with some giveaways.
