[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is my 4th or 5th nespresso machine and by far this is the quirkiest. The instructions that come with the machine are useless but there are videos online from nespresso that actually walk you through the set up. Unfortunately they do not cover the myriad of blinking light options that I am encountering. It should be simple to pop in a pod and press a button but for some reason this machine wants me to press the light twice - and then it is a crap shoot on whether I get a cup of coffee or a dribble of disolored water. This machine makes fun coffee when it works but I have had the machine for 2 weeks now and have already wasted at least a sleeve of coffee...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My reasons to give it three stars is I have been a customer for many years now I have had other machines and got the Nespresso virtual up for Christmas hat had been replaced multiple times, but it’s still leaking water. I returned it and went back to a Nespresso virtual next, but also returned that one and went back to the Nespresso virtual up because I love the taste of the coffee better on this machine, but do not like how it spells water

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this machine for my boyfriend a few weeks ago and it has worked great! Connecting it to WiFi has caused a few issues but I think it is just a temporary adjustment. The coffee tastes great and it brews quick!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Machine heats up fast and brews a good cup of coffee. Love the amount of size choices. Definitely noisier than previous Nespresso Machines that I have owned. Metal accents are not stainless and cup holder is plastic which is disappointing considering it is the latest offering.
I bought the new Nespresso Virtuo Up machine a month ago and the look is nice and the performance is good. It heats up and brews coffee quicker than my old Nespresso VirtuoPlus machine. The only issue I have with the Virtuo Up machine that made me take 1 star away is because this machine is messy and requires regular cleaing for the pod dispenser container. Their is much more leakage than my old VirtuoPlus which is annoying! I would almost take away 1.5 stars because of this. Overall the machine looks great and performs well.
I bought this before Thanksgiving and was so excited. I love that I can make my coffee hotter, but the machine leaks into the pod collector. Mine grew mold because I was not aware that it was doing that. Now I have to take it out and dry it after every coffee, which is very annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
