WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MACHINE?
Before you buy a machine, you
must consider not only the price or the amount you are willing to pay, but even
those hidden costs that will endure once purchased the product.
In particular, should be considered:
STATE OF THE SEALS
If not explicit
by the seller that the seals are in good condition or new, most likely you will
be in a position of having to replace. This is
especially true as the machine is old, regardless of whether it was used or
not. Ironically he used a machine
seals in the best conditions for a spare car, where the phenomenon of dry and
crack is more evident.
For the replacement of seals considered an expense on 20-25 euro if you do yourself,
up to 60-80 if you have to bring in assistance.
GENERAL STATEMENT
Please note the general state of the machine, particularly if there is rust
in the tank, if the plastic cover level and supports are damaged if the logo sticker
is present, if there are bruises, defects in chrome.
STATE OF THE BASIC ACCESSORIES
The allocation of accessories that minimum should have the machine to avoid
buying them later: holder, filter basket of 1 and 2 doses, the drip tray and grid,
tamper, measuring spoon.
The absence of one
or more of these accessories could involve expenditure greater than that
incurred in the purchase of the machine.
STATE OF OPTIONS
Optional accessories, only on more expensive models, are wooden handles,
automatic cappuccino, metal grid.
The presence of these
accessories obviously adds value to the machine
