I had a couple of issues with my first machine that HOS helped take care of. They were very helpful in fact.
The handle latch has been modified twice now. The original clips, like you mentioned, were horrible. The turn knobs that they've been using up until recently are a lot better (I only broke one of them and still have a spare), the new ball latch that I've seen looks fantastic.
The one thing I don't like at all about the Orbot/TAZ is changing the drive plate. If you want to switch from Velcro to the tile and grout brush it's a real drag.

The company has been around for a long time and will hopefully improve on the machines design (there are several design flaws: the handle latch assembly is very weak, the solution line to the spray heads is a major snag, the pad driver is barely adequate, just to name a few) Windsor no doubt has the engineers and resources to fix some of these problems.
