Any experience with EES at CDG since Friday April 10

Just curious if any recent non EU travelers, since Friday April 10, can report their experience getting through the EES gates at CDG? I know it all depends on whether the computers crash and that can happen at any time, but I'm wondering if all systems are working how long is the line?
We're arriving from Boston tomorrow Tues 4/14 at 10am. One of us is an EU citizen, the other is not so will be using the EES gates for the first time.

Thanks

I arrived CDG yesterday. There was no wait at immigration, the machines worked fine.

Thank you, that's great to hear. out of curiosity, what US airport did you fly out of? Also, what terminal did you come into? We're coming into 2E but my sister arrives into Terminal 1 (United)

We flew out of CDG on Saturday April 11th from Terminal 2E and did not use the EES machines, none of them were on/working or being used. We also did not use them entering CDG on April 4th. Of course, that may change when you fly into CDG on April 14th, but we did not have the pleasure of using the EES machines.

The lines entering Terminal 2E for our flight home were quite long and chaotic though, so expect to spend additional time in lines once the EES machines are fully online and people get used to them.

I am flying from Boston to CDG in May. I am a non EU traveler.

If you think of it, would you post about your experience with EES at CDG.
