Hi GidAA,
I bought the same machine in August 2021. It had a constant drip underneath, which took a bit to find. It turned out steam was escaping in the fitting between the copper pipe and stainless at the start of the steam tap, condensing and dripping out the bottom. A bit of thread tape and a tighten fixed that. Apart from that, it’s been plain sailing.
I can’t remember exactly what I paid, but it’s a great machine. I think I read somewhere that many of the internals are the same as Rocket, and on inspection, to fix the problem above, with all the panels removed, it looks like a pretty solid build quality. I would buy another, but I'll hopefully get plenty of years of service from the one I've got - I just need to understand how to do a descale properly.
Did you plumb yours? I did and also plumbed a waste pipe. Too many turns for the waste pipe, though, and it blocks up, so I'm emptying the drip tray. I'm contemplating a drum in the cupboard below the machine, but I haven't decided if it's worth it - it's not too much of a chore emptying it at the moment.

Isomac Pro Dual Boiler PID Coffee Machine
I bought the Isomac back in July. Technically, at $3600, it falls outside this category but my budget started at $3000. This machine has low profile - no Youtube or other reviews. I have had semi-commercial machines, of various makes, for over 20 years so I felt confident doing my own research. It's easy to get confused with the Isomac 6.1 which costs almost the same but is an HX machine.
There was a thread on this forum back in 2020, but the general consensus was that that nobody knew much about it.
After 4 months and 3-4 uses per day I am not disappointed - it's a great machine and the coffee is so much better than from my last machine (San Marino). I am not involved commercially with the machine or any sellers - just thought I would share my experience because this machine never comes up when you look for reviews of machines at this level..
