so warranttttyyyy instead of just warranty?
If bing lee unlike dick.
just make sure you get the extended warranty (if bing lee offer it)
Your statutory warranty [ACL,2011] will cover you for at least 2 years (and possibly 3).
I had an LCD TV repaired after 2 and a bit years (with a standard 1 year manufacturers warranty) just by uttering the words "statutory warranty" to LG's call center staff.
Had ours since the last deal was posted. Great machine, holds pressure well when you use good beans and makes great coffee time and time again. The grinder is great as well. Would buy again.
I tried on eBay and couldn't find any extended warranty option, otherwise this would be a good deal.
How is this Breville - BEP810BKS - the Precision Duo in Black Sesame $320 after discount?

depends if you want expresso or espresso
What's the difference?
I just bought this BEP810 a couple of weeks ago. It has actually exceeded my expectations. I haven't used the 920 but can offer my best attempt at comparison.
The main differences:
920 is a dual boiler, meaning you pull espresso while you steam. 810 is a single - so you have to pull the shot, then steam afterwards. There's only a small amount of time in between so it's not too bad. After steaming the 810 will automatically purge water through the system to cool it for the next shot, as steaming is done at 140 degrees, while the shot is closer to 93. It all works, but clearly the 920 is more sophisticated.The 920 has a full size 58mm portafilter. Most cheaper brevilles etc have historically had a noticably smaller 50mm portafilter. The 810 has a nice sturdy 54mm - I think it's pretty decent.
The 810 doesn't actually have a 'boiler'. It has a thermocoil (again this seems to work really well). Loosely speaking this pumps water on a steady basis over a hot element. While steaming the unit therefore makes a quick pump sound once per second, kind of a like a steam train. I'm not a fan of the sound, makes the machine seem underpowered or something. But functionally this is fine. The 920 on the other hand, I suspect, wouldn't do this.
The 810 has a PID system which controls the temperature of the shot. The 920 has the same but is programmable so you can fine tune the settings. Similarly the quantity of water through the shot is programmable in the 920, but the 810 is 'on/off'. It does stop automatically after about 45 seconds though.
The grinder with the 810 (BCG400) works really well as far as I can tell. I've used it on grind settings between 7 and 15. It's purely 'on/off' - (but the on off button is actually really nice to use. Nice action). The Grinder with the 920 is clearly worlds ahead in terms of control - but I've no idea if the conical burrs are any more advanced or if they are identical.
Wondering if they will come out with a new model soon? I think it needs a cool touch steam wand, have burned my fingers a few times..
I don't think you are meant to hold the steam wand
It needs to get hot for a reason. There's a silicone handle on the steam wand so you don't need to touch the metal.
There are lots of hot and pointy things in most kitchens…just be careful.
Hopefully and unconscious sense of self preservation will kick in next time you try and grab the steam wand 😲
awesome combo. had ours for 7 months and love it. just make sure you get the extended warranty (if bing lee offer it)
