I got one on boxing day, it broke yesterday - I turned it on, made some cracking noises and sure enough, I looked in the coffee power dispensing tray and a part was broken among other things falling out of place in the coffee compacter area as well. Took it back to the store and they are now ordering me in one from another store because of no stock. I know the CGA provides many year warranties but this time I couldn't be bothered with arguing with them with an almost guaranteed fault within the next few years so for the ease of not having to argue the CGA to a store person in the future I added two more years extended warranty to make it a total of three years for another $40.

Wonder what would have happened if they had sold out and couldn't source a replacement, as I can't see them repairing them due to cost. I wonder if they would have refunded the extended warranty, as you had only had it a few days, and would have been covered by the manufacturers warranty, the CGA. I believe the extended warranty only kicks in after the 1 year manufacturers warranty runs out anyway, from my experience.

Interesting I noticed on their website that they were advertising these as 'half price' which would have made their normal price around 700-800. Yet the white sticker price instore was over 2k, which is essentially showing customers who were buying instore that it was previously selling over 2k, down to $350ish.
