Help! WMF 500 for 499€ - buy???

Hello,

I desperately need your advice. I watched the WMF 500 today, which is available for an unbeatable 499€. (exhibit, but unused)
I'd love to buy it, but my partner gave me all the negative reviews right away.

What do you think? Shall I buy it? Is it really as repair-prone as it is written?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

If it's the * famous* Amazon reviews I wouldn't let a purchase keep me from it.
There are unjustified bad reviews for almost every device there...
You can be unlucky with any fully automatic machine and for 499 Euro there are, apart from the few Delongi fully automatic machines, anyway not the big selection and for sure nothing better!

The device is just a little too cheap
You're sure it's not a *demonstration device*, has some flaws and you'll get the full manufacturer's warranty including a proper invoice?
If yes, I'd immediately suggest it.

Thanks for your quick reply!:-)

Yes, it's these famous ratings and I'm also a little skeptical. That's why I turn to you here in the forum:-)

It's definitely not a demonstration device but actually just an exhibit. It is absolutely unused, only a bit dusty;-)
There is also the full guarantee as well as a proper bill. (Seller is a big furniture store and therefore serious, no eBay or so)
I also think that it is a bargain and would like to strike.

There are more opinions that can help me with my decision?

Thanks

Eileen
