Got this in today it buzzes and does nothing. Pretty crappy quality overall it seems to be a made for Best Buy version since the manual tells u to go buy pods at Best Buy or "other grocery stores" lmao. It's probably worth the $30 I paid but not more than that.

Seems like the common issue with these Bella espresso machines is they use a shitty water pump that might not pump the water on first use or once in awhile it would stop pumping water out of nowhere. The trick to get it working again is smack the side of it several times and it should do the trick. No joke.

I can confirm that this works

Good deal, 1 star raters are whiners. RTFM. Looks like it is made by Lavazza.
I thought the same; bunch of fools didn't read manual; me smarter and me better. Well lo and behold I'm having the same darn issue; pump refuses to work.

I've tried inserting the water tank over and over, spanking the unit several times like it was bad girl at a sex party, pushing the filter in where the water tank attaches and manually inserting water with an oral syringe but nothing works.

Pump tries to operate twice then nothing happens. I can get the pump to endeavor to siphon the water longer on its second attempt by inserting the water tank repeatedly while it's active but it never sucks water regardless; the pump is only teasing and mocking me it seems

I'm thinking these units have a major design flaw for so many to have the same issue hence the clearance price. It's a terrible and extremely frustrating defective product; the machine should be recalled IMO..

Wow, I couldn't cancel soon enough so it arrived yesterday. This thing really is junky. I've had to unplug it a few times(the instruction manual actually says you might need to and let it sit for 2 minutes...). It only brews coffee maybe 1 in 4 tries.

It's a shame because it's really nice that it has the wands that let you load loose coffee so you don't have to use pods if you are out, or whatever.

Anyone else know of a dual mode unit like this for an ok price?

In the box says 2 years warranty, however manual makes it clear that for non-mechanical parts it's only 90 days Big Grin

Safe to assume that this has 90 days warranty.

Sincerely, this post is very far from a "deal". This feels almost like a scam. This machine is not worth the $30 "deal" price. Well, this is another post by SD staff.

This website is very far away from what it used to be.

They sent me a very used unit. They sent me a replacement that was obviously used.

Best Buy is terrible. They just send out used stuff

Looks like an awesome deal, thanks op.

Going through the reviews, seems like most are due to priming issues, which seem like they can be resolved by reattaching the tank a few times to force water in.

Probably why some of the other bad reviews are due to people getting used ones, as other's probably returned them and didn't say anything.

Seems worth the gamble to me 👍

So 3 out of the 4 ordered machines work, after (slightly) raising and lowering the water - to see air escape (to prime). It seems it may have helped to do this with the front assembly open so as to avoid back pressure.

Makes Nespresso so much better than our 10yr+ Nespresso model - a bit shocking how much better the quality is now.

Didn't realize what we were missing.

The machine seems solid and punctures the capsules a lot better than other machines used over the years.

It's reasonably loud, but no louder than other models, from what I can tell.

It's definitely worth it, even having to return one. Thanks, OP.

Glad I returned to the thread before using. Did this in initial use and I have to say… that's a good cup of coffee. Solid value as long as it continues to work!
