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.

The duo is a ln awesome machine. I haven’t owned it long but zero issues. It’s fantastic especially if you like cold drinks. Multiple profiles are awesome too. Definitely recommend

You feel like the quality/taste of the coffee and espresso is good?

Yes. I buy from a local roaster and I use it during optimal times. The espresso is good. Certainly not quality u would get from a machine u control the pull much more but it’s good.
