Mechanika Slim is ECM's answer to the problem of prosumer machines being too deep for most kitchen counters. The chassis is narrowed without sacrificing the E61 group, PID, or build quality. If you've been wanting a prosumer-class HX but couldn't make the dimensions work, this solves that.
What we liked and didn't
Pros

- ECM fit-and-finish
Cons
