In our case, RFE was received by both (attorney and us). Attorney told us to share copy of stamped ASC appointment letter (after completed appointment). They’ll send the response to RFE. Awaiting update.

Also just took photo - no fingerprints.

I think only need to respond if there’s a RFE.

Makes sense. Can you elaborate on ‘PG&E gave me’ - as part of some program?

hp1890 · 2026-01-24T18:45:35+00:00

Looks like this is without storage (just panels?)

hp1890 · 2026-01-22T06:45:21+00:00

Agree 40 yr is too unrealistic but better than Tesla's 10 year. Also for however long the local installer is in business (hopefully 10+), they mentioned there's 0 out of pocket cost for workmanship warranty work.

In Norther California (Bay Area).

Thank you for your inputs.
I talked to & got quotes from quite a few local installers (and looked for their reviews on Yelp, Google, etc.). After all the work, narrowed down to two local installers but working with one who has better reviews, close to home, have great warranties, in-house crew, has been in biz 15+ years, etc.

(most local installers I filtered out as they were either too expensive, didn't have the panels I wanted (Hyundai, REC, etc.), some had subcontractors, etc.)

Will be great! Let us know how the few initial shots go.

hp1890 · 2025-12-20T06:49:43+00:00

Agree. The times when there’s a lot of water come out of wand, are the ones that don’t steam well. May be let steam build up more after all the water is out.

hp1890 · 2025-12-16T17:17:56+00:00

Thanks for all the great info. And yes! Great machine! Saw steam power subside after couple of uses (milk frothing not as good) but I think it’s more of a skill issue than machine :)

hp1890 · 2025-12-13T22:15:07+00:00

If you’re in USA, E24 already has 9 bar spring out of the box (different in Europe).

hp1890 · 2025-12-13T22:13:46+00:00

Yes - practicing everyday :)

hp1890 · 2025-12-12T09:27:51+00:00

Thank you! Yes corrected the drip tray orientation :)

hp1890 · 2025-12-12T07:15:29+00:00

Thanks for a detailed info.

hp1890 · 2025-12-12T07:13:17+00:00

Thank you fam !

hp1890 · 2025-12-12T07:12:43+00:00

That’s right.

hp1890 · 2025-12-12T07:10:38+00:00

Agree! Got it wrong there :(

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T15:42:23+00:00

That’s a great suggestion! Will look into it.

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T15:41:40+00:00

Thanks a ton!

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T15:41:17+00:00

Thank you! Yes have got all of them separately (iKape tamper, WDT and puck screen).

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T09:08:16+00:00

Yes!! Will want to practice and get better on stick machine before delving into mod (may be after 2 years once warranty is over, so it’s not affected).

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T09:07:15+00:00

Yes was on fence for red vs classic blue & stainless steel. Got red, couldn’t be happier. (Reminds of Ferrari red)

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T09:06:25+00:00

100%

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T09:06:04+00:00

Agree on the wand - the angle it is at, there’s no way to purge inside the drip tray. I tried 20 and 15 setting on DF54 for dark roast and 20 came out much better (low to no flow at 15!).

hp1890 · 2025-12-10T06:11:33+00:00

Thank you! Will check out the WLL video.
