where as boiler machine heats up a pot of water. so it requires more energy, and therefor time.
but thermoblock has its issues, lots of issues if you aim for perfection: the temperature coming out of the thermoblock is inversely proportional to the speed of the flow. if you have a perfect flow, e,g, around 27 seconds for 1:2 ratio, then it works wonders, but if you flow differs, say it is bit too fast, then not only you take the penalty of under extraction due to fast flow, but also much lower temperature. so instead of be able to fix two variables out of three (grind size, temperature, time) and fine tune your drink one variable at a time, you are now moving two variables at the same time. this is extremely hard to do if you want consistent good taste of light roast coffee.
you don't have to take my word for it, got yourself a thermometer and test the water out of the Bambino (or anyother thermoblock machine), turn it on and just see the number jumps from 95 to 80 in no time. you would be lucky to have 15ml of water at desired temperature before it fluctuates
i personally have/had espresso machine priced from 200 dollar to 4000 dollars, i think the single most improvement one can do as far as espresso machine is concerned is to move to dual boiler with PID (so you do milk based drink much faster and better). but this been a HX at this price is probably as good as it goes. i won't mind getting it if i were to throw away my current setup

Love me my drip coffee. It's luxury compared to kettle brewed camp fire coffee.
" A custom-designed 1000W, 1.5L steam boiler ensconces a calibrated brew coil that brings brew temperatures up to 165º. From there, a 200W cartridge heater built into the group brings your brew water up to its final temp—all actuated seamlessly with the twist of the brew paddle."
A frankenpaddle.
Edit: which another niggle...it's not even a paddle..there is NO pre-infusion, the 'paddle' is really an on/off switch.

There's this perception these machines are high quality but honestly, they are not. They look great but if one looks at the metal work carefully the quality control (fabrication, welding, fit and finish) is awful. The "electronics" inside are a kludge of wires and connectors with an off-the-shelf PID just bolted on. I opened mine up to install a shorter 20A line cord and just looking at it gave me a headache.
That all said... the E61 designs have been tweaked over the years so they've hammered out the problems. Parts are easy to come by and there are lots of maintenance instructions available online.
I'm keeping an eye on Odyssey Espresso, which I think is great engineering. They just need to hammer out the production issues and scale the volume.

It's getting hard to find a heat exchanger (like this) or dual boiler espresso machine under $1000 these days. Even at MSRP it's already low priced.

I had BBE in past and now upgraded to a heat exchanger. And even with Bambino you are supposed to wait till whole machine is warmed up.
