I just upgraded from Philips 3200 with wand frother, which was about 4 years old, to Delonghi Rivelia.
So much better.
The drip tray and water tank are smaller but imo is better for me as I clean up and refill every night instead of letting the water and grounds sit longer.
The milk carafe has a clean cycle after each drink. It can be skipped but it only takes about 10-15 seconds. The carafe can be disassembled and put in the dishwasher.
I haven't cleaned the brew group yet. Comparing it with the Philips, it's simpler with less nooks and crannies.
Oh and the coffee it produces. Miles ahead of the budget Philips.
I'm in Socal. Got the Rivelia for $1200 at my local Best Buy because it was in stock and I wanted it right away.

I use kirkland oat milk. Steams and froths wonderfully.
I’ve had the Phillips 3200 (similar to photo in post with some other hot beverage options) with steam wand for 3year with zero complaints, it’s a beast.
Phillips 3200 is trash. My parents have it and it makes the weakest most watered down coffee even when you set the setting for less volume of liquid and more coffee.
I second this. I went from a full manual setup, to Philips 3200, to a ninja lux. I couldn’t be happier with the ninja because it just works and makes life easy. And my partner can use it with no problem. She actually loves it.
