    I suggest you visit DeLonghi PH. they have a wide range of devices for testing

    I have a similar model, ECAM350. If you really want to have perfect latte or cappuccino everyday, then this is the right machine. But if you just want black coffee, just get the cheapest bean-to-cup.

    I also have the entry level Delonghi Magnifica S, almost 6yrs na eto and never been serviced. Just the regular descaling lang ang maintenance.

    just sharing a story about servicing.

    my wife's aunt used a PrimaDonna (same age as our Dinamica but it was never serviced)
    The aunt replaced her machine with better one and handed the PrimaDonna to my sis-in-law

    My sis-in-law followed our advice and had the machine serviced (for cleaning na din)... her bill, almost 8K! all gaskets needed to be replaced as the machine was no longer meeting the required pressure to make espresso.

    No wonder our Aunt was so happy with her new machine, the old machine was technically no longer working properly.

    thanks for all the reply. seems delonghi is a good brand. kaso nakita ko nakakalula dami ng models nila. my wife usually makes her coffee with milk. so will have to take that into consideration.

    also there are some re-sellers of fb who sell delonghi at a discount mga 5-10k less depending on the model. brand new in box galing Quatar/middle east. personal import I guess. should we consider those even if walang warranty? sabi nila delonghi will service them but syempre with cost na.

    again salamat.

    we carried our machine from Singapore... yes, DeLonghi PH serviced our machine
    my biggest issue against them is that you need to bring the machine to their service center... they do home service in Singapore.

    5-10k less for a brand new machine? (you can check the number of cups the machine made so basically, may odometer sya)
    the odo gets reset every service

    How do you check the odometer?

    My old Magnifica S (6yrs+) still makes the same coffee as my newer Dinamica.

    just sharing...

    my sis-in-law went to the De'Longhi service center today for servicing...

    they no longer accept machines for service/repair if it was not purchased locally!

    bummer! yan ba yung official na delonghi service center sa q.c.?

    kanina lang namin nadiskubre na sa ibang bansa more so in europe halos kalahati lang ang presyo ng like for like model ng delonghi

    yes!

    planning to send send an email to De'Longhi international on this matter.

    ok naman yung machine namin, pero we regularly have it serviced at least once a year.

    its not like binili ko yung machine in SG to save $$$. it was my machine from the start and brought it here when my transfer was approved
