This model is very well engineered. I’ve repaired this model multiple times and I found it to be one of the most reliable across the Breville range because of the heating system not putting a lot of stresses on the internals because it doesn’t always stay hot, but also clever engineering things like nine bar OPV for the water pump, but also an OPV for the steam line which I’ve never seen on other models apart from the more expensive levels. This will mean that if you wand is blocked, you will not burst a pipe or a connector When you turn on the steam and the pressure is built up. This has been an issue on the barista express because a lot of the time the connector on the solenoid valve would give you a lot of leaks if the wand is blocked this happens a lot on the older models like three years, plus. Expensive repair once that solenoid is rusted
