I own a few Breville products and am happy with those, but this one was just expensive and trash. This thing was not working properly from day 1. It was unreliable so I didn't end up using it much. You press Hot, the LED turns red but then it dispenses ambient water, I try again, and it usually works the 2nd time. If there was a way to check how much hot water it has dispensed in the last 12 months you'd find that it hasn't even done 20L. It's now over a year old and the hot water function no longer works, even though the LED turns red. it doesn't dispense hot water no matter how many times I try. And while it was working, it constantly asks to get descale every month. This is like printers, they make money from selling you descale kits or something. Waste of money. Got a cheap machine from another brand and that works great without any fuss.

This unit looks good and is easy to use. Trusted brand.

The Aquastation is great until you need to clean it. Descaling is a night mare the instruction in the book are a little bit below useless. Also the measurement for water delivery are set at increments of 50mls so you are either getting to much or to little hot water and it won't hold settings in custom. Other than these small problems the aquastation is a handy and useful appliance.
