Have been desperate for a real coffee while in iso, the blend 43 is just not cutting it.
Found this deal after looking at used machines for nearly the same price. Bing Lee and Harvey Norman both have it for $499.
Shows $389 on site but instant 5% cashback drops it to $369 in cart.
BONUS Barista Essentials kit via redemption (valued at $99) https://www.sunbeam.com.au/en/MySunbeam/Promotions/simply-gr…

Amazon also have it for $389

with estimated delivery dates of
FREE Standard Delivery : get it by Thursday, April 23 - Monday, April 27
but good option for those near a Harvey Norman
Do you think this will still be eligible for the Sunbeam promo?
If this is anything like the EM4300 in terms of quality only lasted a year.
Milk and coffee is excellent and works well.
As soon as the twist function for steam/coffee 1 and 2 cups starts playing up, you know the machine and seals are on the way out.
"As soon as the twist function for steam/coffee 1 and 2 cups starts playing up, you know the machine and seals are on the way out."
I have no firsthand experience of this specific machine re: parts availability.
Generally, all seals wear out. It's not necessarily a sign the machine is stuffed…just needs maintenance.
Seals wearing out should not condemn the machine.
I think someone commented earlier about seal replacements?
This outscored the Expobar Office SA (RRP $1750) in the Choice test… seems like a great deal to me.
Very tempting, especially with the bonus essential kit: knock box, better tamper, tamper mat, and thermometer, all useful stuff.

But I'm more or less set on the Breville, if I buy this will probably still thinking about the Breville. So will pass on this.
Exactly my problem
Does anyone know how easy this machine is to clean, relative to comparable models?
I have owned this since December - 0 issues so far and does the job. An all-in-one package that sates your coffee fix :-) Would recommend
FYI - Harvey Norman had no stock near me.
I just had this price matched at Good Guys instead.
Don't buy from Amazon as I don't think that qualifies for the bonus promotion, it's not listed as a retailer on the Sunbeam website.
Where can you find the list of participating stores? I just claimed mine bought from amazon, not sure if I will receive it.
I just assumed it was based on the link on Sunbeam's page for "Where to buy?":
Damn it! Just bought this exact model from JB's literally 3 weeks ago foe $500. Winder if I bought this and took back to JB, and pocket the $120 difference? Is that do-able and slightly non dodgy??
Totally dodgy. But I'd do it.
This is not a deal anymore since the price doesn't come down to $369 now.
keep eye on mother's day sale, should start in a week or two
What's a mother's sale?
$389 is still a deal. Can you find a better price?
Sure, but my comment was referring to $369 which was in the original title. Thanks for negging me for pointing the obvious.
Just got my machine and have been playing around with it.
Do your grinds go everywhere? I feel that the grinds fall down closer to the machine rather than to the middle.
Anyone experience the same?
That was my first 2 days as well. Grind into a shot glass or similar first and then transfer to the portafilter. Stick the shot glass right up to grinder mouth and press down with your finger to grind. I only put in the dose of beans required for one and then repeat. No mess now.
Anyone had any update on how long does it take for redemption confirmation or delivery?
For the barista kit? 3-4 weeks
Should it be of concern if it's longer than that time already?
they put message on the website about delays
Bonus Gift COVID-19 Impact
Due to the current situation with COVID-19 we are experiencing delivery delays for our bonus coffee gift. We're working hard to send our gifts to you and your understanding during these times is greatly appreciated.
@Herb Utsmellz: i got mine yesterday
only thing i really wanted out of it was the tamper…the one it comes with is pretty bad
was tempted to go out buy aftermarket one if it didnt show up soon
@Herb Utsmellz: Did you get any confirmation when you placed the claim? I did mine a few weeks ago but never received any email or anything.
Did you purchase before the deal was posted?
@Herb Utsmellz: nope but i did look at prior deals
it was actually cheaper for the unit and it got less up votes
i supposed Bonus kit (and probably many more people WFH) really made this a deal shine
i know thats what got my hooked in…the WFH bit
if i held out i probably would of just got the Breville BEx instead
it seems to have a better following with regards to hints/tips/videos/forums/after-market accessories
Accidentally (truely) ordered 2, and both arrived (today), coffee machine came on 14th.
Mostly wanted the thermometer.
Pretty happy with coffee machine so far.
FYI Harvey Norman had this in stock today and price matched it to $389 (not the $369 as its "cashback"), but considering I dont have to wait 6 weeks for it, I was happy to pay.
