Solis SL-70

Makes great espresso, good steaming! I really like this machine. It's a bit complicated in the way we have to make the latte - but now that we realized it was broken that may have been the issue. I look forward to getting it back

The pump lasted 9 months and we sent it back under warranty

Nice starting machine ; quality of the "inside ; produce more steam than needed for foaming milk

looks cheap, the front panel is glued on a "lumpy surface ; filter size: 53 mm instead of 58 mm which seems to be a standard size

Easy to use and provides consistent results

Machine broken two weeks outside of warranty

The SL-70 is extremely easy to use. It was a step up from a Krups toy machine and allowed a bit of the barista experience to be enjoyed, especially with a non-pressurized filter. The machine has the ability to produce decent espresso shots. With the...

The 53mm non-commercial portafilter is a drawback. I had to repair switches twice on this machine, with the second time upgrading to the commercial switch panel. The repair was easy and I was able to do it myself with only the parts cost coming out...

Actually, my review sounds more negative than it is. The review I found on this site gave me information on how to better use my Solis Crema 70. SOME MACHINES HAVE DEFECTS, and I seem to have received one of them. The review by the engineer...

The steamer on my machine did not work properly, and I wasted my 30 day warrantee time from the company I bought it from trying this and that with the Solis rep, who is sweet as sweet can be (Josie). I'm saying it here for all to see: JOSIE IS AN ANGEL

Possibly the best value in espresso under $1000. Real espresso and unbelievable steam power

A few flaws out of the box -- pressurized baskets and 53mm size. And it's ugly compared to the competition

Good steaming, good espresso, however the machine died in 1.5 years. I don't think that is value for the money. When paying over 300.00 I expect the machine to last a lot longer. It just about electrocuted me yesterday after slowing down to a...

Machine died in 1.5 years what else can I say.... I don't think that is value for the money. When paying over 300.00 I expect the machine to last a lot longer. It just about electrocuted me yesterday after slowing down to a trickle the last two...

Excellent parts and build quality. Nice heavy, chrome plated brass portafilter, marine brass boiler and group. Metal body construction

Crema enhancing filter baskets, might be a bonus for some

When it works, it works great and is easy to master

After three years, it's simply died
