I bought my La Pavoni in 1993 and it's still going strong. New gaskets when needed are easy to obtain and fit. There's plenty advice on the web. I will never part with it. And suits me well as I'm the only coffee drinker in the house.
It did take me about 5 years before I worked out how to pull a consistent good shot, though. However those were the days before YouTube and the web.
One piece of advice that was given to me, I'll pass on. Don't stick with one basket. Have at least 2. When you're making more than one coffee, it saves a huge amount of time to have filled baskets ready. They just drop in and aren't a tight fit.
And good luck with your first portafilter sneeze.
