Do Coffee Machines Usually Go on Sale for EOFY?

TL;DR
Looking to buy an expensive machine, do coffee machines usually go on sale st or around EOFY? Should I wait or bite the shitty "sale" bullet with the crap offerings they have ATM?

Long version:
I've been considering buying an expensive coffee maker for some time now.
I started by going to JB and whittling down my options based on price and feature set, then I've done a lot of research on prod and cons, and ultimately settled on this:
https://www.delonghi.com/en/la-specialista-opera-manual-coff…
We're closing in quickly on mother's day and de longhi have a pretty pathetic "sale" on ATM.

However, I have a friend of mine who's also recently gone through the purchase of a much more expensive machine and during the course of his research he's discovered (and extolled upon me) that coffee machine rarely, if ever, go on sale around of EOFY. Rather, they tend to be discounted around mother's day and fathers day.

Now, my friend is very thorough in his research, but he's also somewhat of a bullshitter, in that he'll heavily embellish facts to make his point.

So my ultimate question isn't about whether to trust him or not 🤣 but to ask if other people have knowledge of whether or not I should just wait until EOFY or just get what they have on offer now.

Thanks in advance.

    Rock up to jb before close June 30, they’ll prob want to cut a deal for a nice bump to EOFY figures

    He was right tho better deals during mother/father day

    I have an Eletta titanium and actually the best price so far has been the list price less 10% voucher (latitude processed my price protection claim no problem)

    TGG commercial have it now at $750, that's $100 or 12% off. JB Business have it at $798.

      Did I? 🤦🏻‍♂️

      I wasn't paying attention. Thanks for the info.
      My wife actually also suggested TGG commercial this afternoon but she couldn't find it there.
      Do you have a link by any chance?

        Not able to link TGGC, just use the search function once you're logged in

          That's ok, I came here to edit my comment but you beat me to it.
          We did find it… She had issues because she searched specifically for "EC9555" without the "M" or "BK" suffix. If you do that, the search fails 😂

          Thanks very much for your help to prod me in the right direction.

    Probably not the best recommendation since you've decided on a machine and a refurb doesn't make a good gift, but the Breville ebay refurb store has some great prices

    12 month warranty and 20% off with ebay plus. The dynamic duo is $1040 at the moment ($1600 retail, $1300 on sale at costco at the moment). Or similar to the Delonghi, the Barista Pro is $600.

    Items usually go on sale when they are unable to sell items, excess stocks. Otherwise through site wide sale or price error.
