Sharp edges and ripples around control model metal work. It has 1 screw but was taped on all sides for transit which says it all.
Main door out of alignment. I doubt it will hold a seal.
Screws don't appear straight at the top of the main body.
Side has not been screwed down evenly.
Looks like sheet metalwork carried out by high school student and even then Ive seen better work from some.
Almost most expensive unit on market. Don't buy i expect no two units will be the same in quality.
Poor quality control.
Extremely lightweight because its sheet metal without insulation unlikely to retain heat.
Haven't used it i wonder how well it will work. I could use it as a heater in winter, with the lid closed!!

Looks nice that's about it. The machine doesn't have the power to consistently knead a loaf without sticking all the time, and risk burning out the motor. It has to be constantly monitored and the dough freed up by hand so the program can continue. Happens with a variety of flours so not a wholemeal problem. Can't believe I'm one of the few with this problem. Old breville machine was great, shame the build quality has been overlooked in place of stylish looks.

This is our second Breville bread maker, the first being a BBM400 on which the baking element failed after being used after being in the cupboard a year or two. We were able to mix and knead the dough but had to remove it to bake in the gas oven as when the baking cycle started the BBM400 blew the switchboard breaker.

The new BBM 800 is week old and has baked 3 good loaves using the Lauke Premixes. The paddle has been extremely difficult to remove as the bread mix residue sets rock hard, cementing the paddle socket to the pan spindle.

Bought it to replace a previous Breville Breadmaker that gave us years of good use. Bought this as it looked like the old model with just a new casing, Had it for 12 months and made less than a dozen loaves and it's totally stopped working. No lights, no nothing, Dead as a doorknob. Would not buy another Breville. Tried but can't get through to Breville

Living some 250 KM out of Melbourne, I have had three problems. 1)Back of menu light stopped working 2) The paddle, which is quite useless as it still leaves a hole in the bread sticks in position at all times, despite cleaning and soaking paddle thoroughly 3) the fruit and nut dispenser stopped working, despite loud clicking noises....As there are no service agents in Wangaratta I will return it as absolutely unreliable when cooking and the costs of sending it back is prohibitive...Has Brevile thoroughly tested these things in the field? I doubt it. The bread, It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what results you're going to get...

Great product but within 9 months inside the bake tin the anti stick surface start to flake off.
I contact brevillr support, they said it doesn't fall under wanranty. They even said i was baking bread with it for almost a year, yeah thuugh... what do you do with a bread machine?
Any how.
I do NOT RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT.
very, very poor customer service and warranty.

I was thoroughly disappointed with this product. I bought it last week and have had problems with it not mixing properly, and there seems to be some issues with it sealing and heating properly. I made sure it was not an issue with my ingredients and used fresh flour, yeast etc. I've had bread makers before and have churned out loaves of delicious soft fluffy bread but it's not happening with this. Myer have said I can return it and exchange for another type. Thank you Myer.

I bought this machine to make speciality breads as it was programmable. Some of my breads are quite sticky and the folding paddle never came up properly. So I had to keep on lifting it up with a chopstick. I asked Breville and they suggested using the jam paddle. Today I started making bread with the jam paddle, and suddenly realised that as it was plastic, and possibly jam doesnt go to baking temp, that this may not work. After calling the help line and holding on for 15 mins, I was told that the paddle needs to be removed before baking. This ...

Three years of very light use. Then totally died. Probably cost $2.50 per loaf for the "privilege " of owning a Breville Bread Maker. Seems to be the way of the modern world. My mother bought a sewing machine in the 50's made clothes for 9 kids and it lasted 30 years. That's 60 years ago. What rubbish. Breville should be ashamed!

We bought the machine thinking it'd last us a while. With a year or so, the main button stopped working properly. Since it was under warranty, they fixed it although it took a while. One night, while making bread the machine fell off the bench. Since it's been 2.5 years since the purchase, they wouldn't fix it. We decided not to pay over $100 to fix it but by a panasonic bread maker instead. We hope it's a better quality with better service.

The collapsible paddle has never collapsed although it tries but that just means it rips more out of the bottom on the loaf. It's a couple of years old and now won't mix all the ingredients properly. There is so much play in the spindle and the paddle is very worn. I have probably made 150 loaves with it with varying success. Breville not interested in any complaints.

I will no longer buy a Breville product even though they have had some good products over the years BUT their After Sales Service is PATHETIC, they even make you feel like a liar when you report a problem.
Simply put a product is only as good as the back up that comes with it, in this department Breville FAILS dismally & has done for many years. I speak with the experience of receiving the same stand offish & often rude attitude on four separate occasions regarding three products, it's just NOT good enough, speaking as an engineer there are other product manufacturers with products just as good if not better with FAR better after sales service.

I purchased my Breadmaker roughly 15 months ago. It came with a 1 year warranty, PLUS 2 year replacement warranty.
I have followed the instruction manual completely - made bread exactly as it tells you to, cleaned exactly as it tells you to, etc. I have taken good care of my machine, as it is the only bread my family eats.
However, the bread pan began leaking water (you put water in it and let it soak for 10 minutes, as per the instruction manual) around the 12 month mark. I contacted Breville by phone first, only to be told the Bread pan an...

We bought this bread maker on July 27. On August 7 something went bang, seemed the light had blown, as it baked the loaf. Tried to use it the next day but nothing was working. We took it to a repairer as recommended by Breville. It's been at the repairers for 3 weeks, they have been waiting for Breville to confirm if they are to repair, or replace. Now we are being told they are repairing, and it will take another 3-4 weeks. Contacted Breville to enquire if we can have a replacement or refund, they said we should have discussed that with ...
