Joule Needs TLC but CS MIA Long time Breville customer and while some of the appliances have had their issues, they were hands down the best. But my 9m old Joule which has been used almost daily with absolutely no issues suddenly started the fan squeal of death which is getting louder by the day. Tried sending in support ticket via app, no response. Tried calling and getting stuck in hold and call back hell. Tried to use app to send in small video but 25MB is crazy, like 1996 crazy. So that didn't work. Totally get that the volume of support requests is probably way larger than CS agents on staff but you guys used to be the best. If the appliance wasn't so expensive I might just let it go but 1) it was very spendy, and 2) bought it directly from Breville so if any issues came up would be easy to deal with (hahaha) and I admit I have way less patience to chase down talking to someone who can assist than I did a decade ago but I should not have to spend hours on the phone waiting or waiting for a call back or wondering why an app inquiry remains without comment after 4 days. And the online chat has been offline every time I look so that's not helpful. Hoping the warranty doesn't run out or the Joule doesn't quit on me before someone gets back to me.

Another good experience. Decent response time, they made me aware that I had bought a refurb food processor on Amazon when i wasn't even aware of it myself. Not the first time I've had to call Breville, but each time I've needed a part or a fix, they've been very responsive.

Dangerour product unsupported by BrevilleI informed Breville Australia that a… I informed Breville Australia that a Duo Temp Pro coffee machine, I had for some years, exploded violently, causing injury. Breville sent me an incident report form which I completed and emailed back along with photos of the parts concerned. I kept the projectile ( the wand) but disposed of the rest (as I had no room to store it) Breville have just informed me that because I disposed of the main unit, as far as they are concerned it is case closed. Possible Breville buyers be warned, that a dangerous item can cause injury with no recourse, and that photographic evidence is not sufficient. The projectile which caused the injury is of no interest to them.

Excellent customer service I had some issues with the grind control drip coffee maker. It was not making a good cup of coffee. Breville customer service representative reached out to me via email and I was able to resolve the issue. I have to say that while it might not be the best coffee maker on the market, the customer service is very good and it's nice to see a company stand behind their product with support.

Víctor Bailey…Awesome customer service Great experience due to ‘Victor Bailey’! Resolved my problem quickly…he knew the product and its firmware like the back of his hand. KUDOS also for his patience guiding me reset the descale/clean light issue. Also for providing instructions to help me better understand and take care of my expresso machine. Thank you.
