Looks amazing, fairly consistent shots

I've had this machine for about a week now. I am planning to plumb it in soon, but in the meantime, I am using Crystal Geyser (bottled in California) which has relatively low hardness. It's my first rotary pump espresso machine. While significantly quieter than my Gaggia Classic Pro with vibratory pump, it's not as silent as I was hoping.
There is a lot to learn in the instruction manual, but once you get it, you get it. I use mainly Brew Temp Control mode where the temperature of the espresso shot takes priority. The couple times I've made a cappuccino, I switched to the default Heat Exchanger mode, although you can steam milk in any of the 4 available modes.
It's a heavy machine that sits under a cabinet. To refill the tank, I have to lift and pull the machine toward me. Once refilled, i have to lift and push it back. You can't just slide the machine because the rubber feet nearly come off.
I was initially going to get the ECM Synchronika, but the experts say that descaling a dual boiler should only be done by a professional. Well, I can't take an espresso machine to a shop every time it needs to be descaled. And the Synchronika is a bit bigger than the Mechanika Max. The smaller size of the Mechanica Max suits my kitchen countertop better.
Why not a 5-star rating? I wish the pump was a little quieter. And one of the rubber feet rolled up under itself when i tried to move the machine on my counter.
I am hoping this never needs to be descaled! My Gaggia Classic pro needed to be opened up and the scale needed to be removed manually way too often, even with relatively soft water. I was getting sick of that routine.
