How long does the frother last? Most break after a couple of months.

I've had a couple months. Still works great. For the price you can't beat it.

I use mine for mixing colorants into homemade soaps .. works great! I probably use a half-dozen times a month. I know from other soapers though that they've lasted a long time with proper batteries in them!

I would say it lasts about 6 months. You are correct. They do not last forever. They also use a lot of batteries. However, the froth is necessary for a terrific latte. We have to have our morning latte.

I have had mine for a couple of months, no problems so far, I use it one a day, in the morning for my coffee. Still on my first set of batteries, I think it's worth the money you pay for it..,

You can order replacement parts from DeLonghi or an authorized appliance repair center. Visit DeLonghi's website for contact info (def use the phone customer service; email is spotty) and authorized repair centers. There was a great place near me that had frothing wands (I lost the tip) etc in stock. A possible upside is that your machine might still be under warranty.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

This is the best one that I have used. My first one lasted for several years. My newer ones have not. I do use it everyday, so I can justify because of use and price that I replace it every year. They really don't make them like they used too. I have found that different battery brands change the frothers performance.

Not sure of warranty, because I can't find the brochure; but I have had mine for 18 months and it works great. I do find that some brands of milk don't froth as well as others, we use whole milk - so I stick to the ones I know work. I wonder if the fat content has something to do with it? But we love it, very easy to clean and is much faster and makes better froth than our espresso machine's wand frother.

They work just fine as described. Unfortunately though, 1 of the 2 milk frothers cracked at the attachment site after only 5 weeks. I was using it daily & removing it to wash it & i think it weakened due to trying to wiggle it out of the handset. Now, i just leave it attached and rinse it under the faucet after use to reduce the number if times i take it in & out. Wish it had a quick release feature like on a hand mixer. Anyway, if you're looking just for a milk frother & dont need the other attachments, buy one of the 9.99 ones cuz its not worth $24 then

Thanks for the insight... I'm frothing before pulling the esspresso now. I'm still very happy with the machine.

How old is the frother? Make sure that the bottom of container never gets wet.

I haven't used any of the ones listed above. It is rather difficult to find a place to "test" frothers (at least where we live). When I purchased it was based on reviews I read and my needs. I still LOVE this frother and would purchase another.

For what it's worth, I have an Aeroccino and the almond frothing there is finicky and spotty, too - sometimes it's great, sometimes not - often depends on the brand of milk (but now, after about 1 1/2 years, none seems to work well...)

I have had this happen with other types of frothers too. Have you changed the type or temperature of the milk?

My whisk is not making froth as it was when I bought this (junk) latte maker in December (5 months ago), same time as yours. I checked the website mentioned in the answer, and guess what the whisk is not available and other sites say it is discontinued. So, Amazon, please do not sell items that are discontinued. $45 went down the drain.

I've had mine for about 2 and a half years now and it just broke. It's also seen heavy use. If you do the occasional job.. you're probably fine.

Mine broke after about 6 months. Not sure if I will buy another. The pump doesn't last long

the longest I have used this is 1.5 years. I had one that failed inside of the first 6 months. Cuisinart replaced it, after much haggling, with a new one. That one last 1.5 years then failed with a bang (literally).

I have had my machine for just under a year and I love it! Unfortunately it started putting out more water than steam when frothing the milk so I ended up with watery milk instead of foam. I contacted Lello Appliance Corporation355 Murray Hill ParkwayEast Rutherford, NJ 07073201-939-2555LelloAppliances@aol.comThey were very nice and referred me to electra-craft.com who does their warranty work. I downloaded the repaire order from their web site and sent the machine to them this week ($20.00) for two way shipping and am waiting for it to return. I'm sure that they have parts. You can contact them by email or phone. Very good people! I have had my machine for just under a year and I love it!
