I got this in May and used it with absolutely no issues at all until mid-September. I loved it. THEN things went wrong. The machine worked and then it didn't and then it did and then it didn't.... SO, I wrote a lousy review and was contacted by Phillips. Guess what? They sent me a NEW one, absolutely free. AND they sent two more bottles because I mentioned that those will hold a liter but you are not supposed to fill them over about 7/8 liter. You have to love a company that stands by its product and makes things right. I am rating them 5 stars based on the performance of Phillips. Bravo for good customer service.
May 23, 2024 I have used this machine to make an average of 2 bottles a day, every day, since I received the replacement from Phillips. It's started not working right 2 days ago - the gas blows out in back of the bottle connector. I had my friend who is a maintenance professional look at it and he feels he'd have to take it apart because he thinks one of the seals has broken. Even if he got it apart, would he be able to get a new seal? I don't know but I feel I got my money's worth and ordered a new one today - still a Phillips but Stainless because it cost a little less as "Amazon's Choice." This time I purchased a warranty plan which is really not needed because Phillips, as shown above, stands by their product. But if this one works for a year, I really can't expect Phillips to pony up a new machine - it wouldn't be fair. I know - TLDR. Buy it - it's worth your money.
