I researched this machine briefly some time ago. Ruled it out for me because it is a small, single-family company that makes the machine. There is no guarantee they will be around in 5 years if I am having difficulties. Also, because the company is so small, few people know about it which makes resale down the line much harder (for example, if I want to upgrade). Do they mention warranty information anywhere? I would be concerned about having to pay shipping costs back to the company if something went wrong with it.
