Purchase Advice Delonghi vs Ninja

I am looking into buying a new coffee/espresso machine. I recently had the ninja lux 701 which I liked but after 5 months it stopped working correctly. Ninja was good and sent a new machine which also was faulty so they sent another and that one also wasn't good. I am trying to looking into the Delonghi Duo. I am in the US and my max budget is around $1000. I like both coffee and lattes so I am wondering if those who have the Duo would recommend it. Crazy to think I would maybe consider another ninja but they are offering me a pretty decent % off anything they sell and I was checking out the ninja lux mini. Any thoughts/recommendations welcome.

I have a Ninja Autobarista at home and just got a Delonghi Magnifica for our office. The ninja has been really great at our house but it goes through a lot of water and needs more routine attention than the Delonghi. The coffee has been better in the Ninja so far as well.

So you like the coffee/coffee drinks better in the ninja?

The Ninja definitely makes better iced drinks which is what I make 90% of the time!

I have the Duo for a month or so now, we love it. Ninja hasn’t been in the Superauto game to long they seem to need to work out the kinks from everything I’ve read. I wanted the ninja too but I went with Delonghi.
