A low price can be a repair project
Used machines may contain scale, worn seals, damaged pumps, leaking valves or neglected milk systems. Cosmetic condition does not prove internal condition.
Questions for the seller
- Exact model and approximate age
- Original receipt or service history
- Water used and descaling history
- Leaks, unusual noises or error messages
- Whether all accessories and water parts are included
- Reason for selling
Check serviceability before committing
Search for gaskets, shower screens, pumps, valves, heating parts and documentation for the exact model. A discontinued proprietary machine can be uneconomical even when the purchase price is low.
Unplug and cool the machine before approved inspection. Internal electrical, pressure and heating repairs belong with qualified service personnel.
