Can i ask what model??
They seemed to get good reviews.
From what i have read the Breville Ikon isnt bad value.
Down side seems to be that it comes with a pressurised bucket.
But apparently you can buy a non pressurised one from Krups that will fit.
Man.... have i learned some stuff today on coffee.
pressurised
non pressurised

Hi Baz,
We have a Sunbeam Cafe Series and after 10-15 cups a day and over 18 months it is still working like a trooper.
Developed with the World's best Baristas, this espresso machine has all the elements required to deliver that outrageously desirable espresso - one that is as sweet as caramel, rich in texture with a mouth-watering aroma, sounds pretty good doesn't it! Perfect for those early mornings, lazy weekends or even in the office and therefore Sunbeam Café Series Espresso Machine is also a great gift idea for your friends and family.

we also have the sunbeam model... it's excellent.
used to have delongi's which are great but it has plastic milk streamer bits with rubber O rings which go brittle and break. The pump went on it after 4 years
The sunbeam has a 5 year warrenty on the pump.
There grinder is great to.
we bought the sunbeam before Xmas for $549....

I've also got the Sunbeam twin thermoblock machine and grinder and had them for over a year.
Fantastic machine and easy to use.
I got a free training course with a barista when I got mine, -not sure if they still do that offer.

I have a Saeco.
Bought it on the recommendation of a friend who's Saeco is still making perfect brews after 10 years.
Works great, best machine for under $500

+1 sunbeam cafe series
Had mine 5 yrs and several uses daily.
about 200 bucks.
It is more about the coffee and how you use the machine than the machine itself. 🤓
