Im very disappointed in this machine. The one I replaced made by the same company was 18 years old, but I should have kept it. However I thought it might be time for the new style. Bad choice. I have had this for about 6 months, and the slide to turn it on and off broke off about 3 months after I had it. I was able to push it back in, but tonight when I went to use it, the on off switch broke off completely.
