I have had it for a month now, so I have an opinion about the watch. Simply flawless!! I haven't experienced any disconnections as I read from other users, and I am actually impressed by the distance it remains connected to the phone since I usually leave the phone in the car and wander around doing various activities (over 20 meters if there aren't many obstacles, and in many cases, I see it connected and talking on calls even at around 30 meters, unlike the other hands-free devices I have which lose connection as soon as they are a few meters away from the phone - I am blown away by this!!!). Strong and clear sound on calls, clear and bright screen, quality and beautiful construction, super easy operation, and it has almost everything (I don't know what else someone could ask for). If you set it up with some third-party watch faces (from the playstore) which usually allow for many customizations both in appearance and mainly in functions (shortcuts, widgets, etc.), it becomes a "workhorse" for tasks and usage. I don't have anything to say about the battery; personally, I haven't been bothered by its autonomy (when I see it dropping, I will put it on the charger and in half an hour it will be great). I should mention that I have it "married" with a Xiaomi 13T.

I have the UA-51 pro for two weeks now, which I have been using intensively with numerous calls every day due to work, "paired" with a Xiaomi 13T with Android 14. One thing I will say, contrary to many users who have complaints, is that it is an example of stability and flawless operation. No disconnections, absolutely no functional issues, and no glitches. Even when I move away from my phone (which I do very often because I leave it in the car), it reconnects instantly as soon as it is back within range. The sound is loud and clear, and combined with the noise cancelling feature, the callers can hear me crystal clear even in situations with a lot of external noise. In terms of music, it has a pretty good sound quality with good bass, although that's not its main purpose. For some users who mention that it doesn't play music, they should go into the settings of their phone and enable the multimedia sound option. The screen is clear, bright, and easily readable. Even I, who wear glasses for nearsightedness, can see the names on the calls with the naked eye. It fully supports contact names with Greek characters, both in uppercase and lowercase, as long as the option for contacts is ticked in the Bluetooth profile. Through the screen, we can also see any missed calls and song titles in case we are listening to music. As for the battery, I have absolutely no complaints. At the moment I am writing this review, I have already used it for two days and it is at 61%. Now, regarding the application, yes, it is a mess. Some functions work, some don't, sometimes it recognizes it, sometimes it doesn't, and generally, it's "whatever comes to its mind"!! One downside I would say is the wrapping of the cable, which is loose and often needs assistance, but I believe this is mainly due to the fact that this particular Bluetooth headset has a thicker cable compared to other similar ones, which causes a small issue (in fact, compared to the iPro RH219S that I used until recently, the difference is significant). Here, I would like to mention that Bluetooth headsets of this type, with a retractable cable, require attention when pulling the cable, human pulling and not yanking, because their lifespan will be limited otherwise. My complaint about this headset is that it doesn't have an external notification sound other than vibration.

Very good machine. Sturdy, high-quality, beautiful, and with many carefully crafted extra construction details that make it stand out. I have had 3 machines in my hands and I am amazed by this one. As for the coffee, without being a barista and an espresso expert, I will say that objectively it makes very good coffee with its foam and taste and strength and everything. The whole story is to find the right grind size for the coffee, the coffee that you like, and the tamping pressure according to the grind size. I read in the comments that some users say it doesn't need tamping, just leveling the coffee, it doesn't make much foam, etc. No, guys, that's wrong. Espresso needs tamping, otherwise, you will be drinking watery coffee that looks like coffee and you will think you are drinking coffee (plus, without tamping, the coffee will expand inside the portafilter and mess up the internals). Obviously, those of you who write these things are getting coffee from a coffee shop and they grind it very fine, causing the machine to clog. Throw it away and ask them to grind it 2 steps coarser and try again and again until you find what you like (it doesn't need a coarse grind, but not too fine either). The same goes for those who have a grinder. We will waste some coffee at the beginning until we find what we want, that's given, but believe me, when you find the right grind size and the coffee you like, you will be rewarded and enjoy your machine every day. And one last thing that applies to all machines, it's good when you make your espresso and remove the portafilter to place a cup or a bowl under the group head and press the coffee button for a second to clean any residue that may have remained inside.

Edit: because I continue to read some negative comments from some users, I will write some clarifications-tips always wanting to help.
1). You should know that each machine requires its own grind size for the coffee, due to the different extraction system that each one has. I write this because I read some comments that in machine A, coffee B with a specific grind size comes out fine, while in the Dedica it clogs. Yes, because machine A has a different extraction system than the Dedica. If you go to coffee shops that are knowledgeable about the subject, for example, a Coffee Island, they will ask you what machine you have and they will grind the coffee you choose for your machine accordingly. And to help more, for new owners of the machine, a coffee that works well with the Dedica and can be found in almost all supermarkets is Lavazza Oro, the gold one. This particular coffee in the Dedica requires a good tamping, and the more you tamp it, the stronger the coffee will be. And since we mentioned tamping, I will say here that we should tamp the coffee evenly so that it is not lower on one side and higher on the other because this will result in the water passing through faster where it is lower and not extracting all the oils from the entire quantity, with all the implications that this entails.
2). From the beginning, I noticed that the extraction time on the Dedica in the double shot was long, resulting in a large quantity of coffee and water (which is logical, as excess water ruins the result). I reduced the time to 16 seconds and the coffees come out strong, with flavor, crema, and everything. Increasing the time will result in a lighter coffee. So, I suggest you decrease the extraction time for results according to your taste. To do this (for those who don't want to search for the method), after turning on the machine and the lights have stabilized, press and hold the double shot button (we can do the same for the single shot) and see the coffee starting to come out. Once you see it changing color, indicating that it is now dispensing unnecessary water, let it go. You will see the light blinking for a while and then stabilize, indicating that the machine has saved the setting. A better adjustment can be made if we have our mobile phone next to us throughout the process, with the stopwatch app open (all mobile phones have it), and simultaneously press the machine button and the stopwatch on the phone to have a visual of the extraction time we have set, and if we want to make any changes up or down, we can adjust it accurately.
3) Finally, I want to mention the cleaning of the machine. Both the machine and the filter basket need regular cleaning to avoid residue from previous coffees that may alter the result. An easy way to clean the group head is with a spray of water, like the one from Azax for windows. Spray it from below and around the group head, and any coffee residue will run out.
I have written a lot, but I hope I helped.

I was looking for a different machine and since I couldn't find one, I ended up with this one. Although I was initially skeptical because it didn't impress me visually, it pleasantly surprised me! Incredible foam and very nice coffees in all 3 varieties I tried. It heats up quickly and has a quiet and smooth operation. I don't have an opinion on the milk frother because I didn't use it. In tests I did with the steam nozzle to warm up cups and water, it works perfectly. Good pressure on the coffee and you will have very good results. Pay attention to the water tank, make sure to attach it properly so it doesn't leak water and there's no need to remove and replace it, just fill it with as much water as you want with a glass.

Edit: Unfortunately, after 3 days of use and around 20 coffees, the machine started to decrease in quality and produce watery coffees, probably due to a pressure problem (pump). The machine was returned after communication with the store and service (and because I want to mention everything, the service didn't inconvenience me and immediately gave instructions for replacement at the store). I got a Dedica and we'll see.
