DELONGHI ESAM3200S Espresso Machine & Coffee Maker

Makes a nice cup of espresso, but after about two months it starts to leak from the water heating chamber. After returning the first one (to the point of purchase as the manufacturer gave me NO help getting it replaced) I decided this one is OK to open up and take a look at. I found the water lead to the chamber had a small rubber O ring that was dry rotted and cracked. Water was leaking, or more like pouring, around the gasket and down across the rest o the chamber (and the wires leading to the heating element). Warranty repair is apparently in NY only. If I hadn't gotten a 40% discount on this unit, I'd have returned it and gotten something else.
