What keeps coming up
The recurring compliment is how solidly it is built: one owner more than a year in describes it as a tank, and pressure is adjustable rather than fixed.

Turin Legato V2
Owners keep the Legato V2 as a sturdy, adjustable machine that gives good espresso for the money, accepting that a lot of the process stays hands-on.
What keeps coming up against it
The preinfusion settings underdeliver: one long-term owner says the P2 setting does very little, that this is well known among owners, and that P1 is more of a novelty than a working feature.

Life with it
What lasts is the manual pull. The owner with the longest account says manual shots are where the machine shines, and that being able to adjust pressure is a real part of daily use rather than a spec-sheet extra. Another owner, who notes the same machine sells under different names depending on region and seller, sums it up as a generic white-label machine that is very good for what it costs.
The adjustment is that the automation does not carry much of the load. One owner a year in still describes a pretty manual routine, and the preinfusion modes are treated as something to ignore rather than rely on. A tinkering owner went further and modified the flow rate screw with a shaft collar, noting that on older units the screw sat far enough out of the housing that it could fall out when loosened.
Reliability & repairs
The one account past a year reports no failures and calls the machine a tank. The one hardware quirk raised is the flow rate screw on older units, which can back out far enough to drop free when loosened; the owner who hit this fixed it with a shaft collar after measuring the housing hole.
That is close to the whole record. Nine accounts in total, and only one or two speak from long-term ownership, so there is not enough here to say how the pump, boiler, or electronics hold up over several years. Treat the durability picture as promising but thin until more owners weigh in.

What owners praise
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
3 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
Does it still kick?
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Own this one?
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Still good used?
What a used buyer should know, from owners a year or more in
Among the 2 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 0 described a failure.
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
