I had it unfortunately and it gave me nothing but problems from the beginning to the end , I should have known that after 24 hours after receiving it the legs broke off .
I bought it from this vendor who lied about it breaking down all the time, It cost me over 2000 and after a couple of months he sold it for me and gave me only 600 .
After he sold it I did research and found out all of the problems I was having a lot of other people are having them as well, Stay away from that machine as much as you can

As far as I know all of the "big names" design, assemble and market, but the components are actually manufactured by a few large subcontractors. This is why, when considering an E61 machine it all comes down to finer details, aesthetics, your own particular use-case and after-sales service. There are lots of good machines out there that will work for *someone.* As much as I like my new Vetrano, it is still a compromise, and there are a few things I would change on it. However, it is still the best in class for my particular requirements.
