Well they like big tough words over there. No namby-pamby Pronto for
them. It's tough & strong :)
Mind you, many E61 clones are rebadged and at least this machine has
some interesting features, although the Ebay sales pitch is awful and
not orientated towards quality, but profit.

Most responses are far more useful than your (now expected) 1 line
derogatory responses.
It's a VFA 'cos that's the company that makes them. It's a "Pronta" I
assume because it's ready for use in a very short time. Seems
sensible enough to me. More sensible than "Silvia" for example (or
Epocha, come to that).

Their ad states "200 service centers nationwide." What can that
mean?

Haven't read that bit but their web site shows 15 or so US
distributors, out of about 50 worldwide.

VFA are a decent manufacturer. Don't you ever actually read the links?
<http://www.vfa-expres.com/pdf/VFA%20Pronta!%20web.pdf >
But I'll save you the effort...
Seperate steam/hot water boiler, hot water adjustable by mixing with
cold water.
Seperate boiler for each group
Thermosyphon heads
Electronic temperature control for each group (0.1 degrees C)
and each group independently switchable
ready for first shot within two minutes
Easily serviceable - major panels are removeable without even taking
cups off the warmer.
I wouldn't call that a "ho-hum just another spanish machine".
Same as my Spanish ho-hum lever machine (which is acknowledged to be
inferior to Italian Gaggia) has produced in excess of 130,000 shots
with no major component failure and no down time.

Yep. I've always wondered why the machine hasn't caused any buzz --
it's been out about 3 years now.
