New Sunbeam Torino triple thermoblock

[dumiya]

The demo sounds great all the advantages with none of the problems that have been discussed in this thread.

You may not have seen my original question but I was actually asking if there were better alternatives for $1400. The only one that was mentioned so far was the bes 920. Are those machines available for $1400?

Would you be willing to go ex demo? Ex Demo Lelit Dual Boiler - PL60

The 920 is often on sale with grinder for less than this. Pretty sure some have said previously they got the combo for $1100-1200?

For this sort of dosh, I don't know why you wouldn't get a Lelit double boiler or maybe a Vib Domobar Junior

There was one on deck at Harvey Norman in Broadway on Monday.

No test machines at Myer Pitt St unfortunately- apparently the only Myer store that has a working machine is their botany store.

Magnafunks comment was funny tho...

Yes to be fair it was...but no irons until my next wedding anniversary...the wife doesn't deserve it yet [emoji12]

Thanks readeral...Long story but I am shifting my em6910 to another house in a few weeks time so I need to buy in the near future. Saying that I am leaning toward the breville if I can get it at a good price. I will go an check out the Torino tomorrow and will try to take some video.

Hi guys - I currently have an sunbeam em6910 which I've enjoyed using over the last 6 years...

...I am not well versed in other dual boiler machines and this is the top of my budget.

I think this is the missing link. The Torino isn't a dual boiler and so it's not an upgrade for you from the em6910, just a replacement of older implementation of the thermoblock to a newer package of the same thing.

I think the iron comment has merit. Buy another appliance you might need in the near future with your bonza 30% off, start saving toward a machine that doesn't just have the looks, and when your em6910 carks it, you can happily upgrade. If by that time the Torino has somehow miraculously proven itself, it'll be at or below your 30% off price anyway - so no harm done.

Otherwise if you're just wanting confirmation you should get hooked into buying a Torino... Sure, go ahead, buy a Torino, tell us all about it long term for the benefit of other snobbers. It's an unproven machine, expect there to be a lot of scepticism around here (especially after Noidle's review).

Sorry Barry my comment was in relation to magnafunks comment...I do appreciate the assistance and was going to thank you...I did also send a thank-you message to noidle for his very comprehensive review.

[Barry O'Speedwagon]
