Huh I see that... We get the Australian Breville brand in North America, and while we don't get their full product offering, it's a lot better than what I see on the Sage website.

Domestic brands over here aren't even trying. Build quality is subpar on everything manufactured on the continent, but thankfully designs are pretty simple and parts are readily available.

Our only choice on larger appliances is basically Miele at 2-4x the European MSRP to get anything remotely reliable. Even then the Miele@Home stuff is nothing but a nightmare so far.

Ah interesting. Be thankful you don't get the UK Breville range!
