Someone once said, “I’ll take a Breville!”
This someone was probably Australian, because in Australia, Breville is a term synonymous with household appliances, in much the same way we mention Kleenex when we want a tissue.
Breville has become so synonymous with certain products that it’s perfectly normal for someone to mention a Breville rather than get any more specific.
Indeed, the Breville company has been a beacon for innovation in kitchen products for some time now.
If you are only aware of Breville as a maker of much sought-after coffee products, here’s a quick TV spot showing one of their blenders.
Breville Company History Information
Yes, Breville is an Australian manufacturer of small kitchen appliances, and they have been on the scene for nearly a century.
The company was founded in Melbourne in 1932.

They began with radios in 1932 and moved into mine detectors during WWII.
They stepped into the world of television in the late 50’s and early 60’s and the brand decided that they should serve the lady of the house and focus on home kitchen appliances.
This was a very creative and important time for Breville and resulted in many great products that they still produce today, only more modern and efficient.
Here is a quick look at some of the kitchen appliances Breville makes.
The Breville name came from it co-founders – Bill O’Brien and Harry Norville.
This family business has over 100 active patents and has won over 40 international awards such as the prestigious iF Design Award and the Webby Awards in the U.S.
The world will never forget the Breville Kitchen Wizz food processor and the Wall Heating Electric Wok – not to mention the world’s first juice extractor to juice whole fruits, the world’s first sandwich press with adjustable height, and an impressive list of other great firsts.
Here’s the Kitchen Wizz in action below, which is regarded by many as one of the world’s finest food processors.
Cool Facts About Breville
Breville’s innovations have won them numerous awards for excellence.
Their Juice Fountain is proudly visible in the Sydney Powerhouse Museum as a model for exemplary design skill.
Breville is even gaining a lot of popularity due to having their products featured in a film about juicing and weight loss called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.
People who see this film definitely get a new appreciation for Breville. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in need of a healthier lifestyle. Here’s the trailer:
Breville’s Centre of Design and Excellence is located in Botany in Sydney Australia.
It’s contagious reputation has spread throughout the world and trades with over 30 countries.
It is best known today for its quality juicers, bread toasters, and coffee-related products.
Their slogan or mantra is “We’re Food Thinkers!” and they are proud of it!
In an effort to expedite their technological growth, Breville have implemented a type of software called NX, which provides them with a beginning-to-end environment for developing products that runs in step with Breville’s unique creativity.
According to Richard Hoare, Breville’s design director, this type of technology is allowing Breville to take ideas from their initial stages to their full realization much faster and with less mistakes.
This NX technology is based on a CAD system which is second to none in terms of product development, because it allows ideas to be conveyed perfectly between Breville, its design team, and manufacturers and toolmakers who are also integral to the creative process.
The Breville team of designers and engineers are always on the cutting edge, and today they have included the “smart” technology into many of their appliances.
They include consumer input into their excellent kitchen tools. Breville’s mission is to make the best kitchen tools possible!
Since 2001, Breville has been owned by Housewares International Pty Ltd. and are known innovators of design in their particular field.
In 2016, Breville is alive and well, and they remain grounded in their success despite the brand’s global awareness.
They continue to look for ways to make their customers happy in the kitchen!
i have a breville coffee maker, just find out that the plastic container for water is the worst plastic to use for food, it is a number 7
how could you sell that?
Hey Robert,
I wasn’t aware of the Number 7 for the plastic container on the Brevelle. From what I’ve just researched, Number 7 is a catchall for a variety of plastics. It’s also used in baby bottles and water bottles. It’s safe for use, so we’re comfortable in our recommendation.
I love my Breville blender the Hemisphere Blade & Bow System BBL55OXL it works great and has been a great addition to our kitchen gadgets. The only problem is we cannot find another replacement for the seal ring you put in the bottom when you clean it. We make smoothies all the time and over time this has become gross even trying to clean it it still doesn’t come out very clean. 🙁

Would you mind contacting Breville customer support? They can help you with the issue
Where are Brevlle products manufactured?
Hi Charles!
Breville products are manufactured in Australia, USA, and Canada.
Is it correct that all the parts are made in China ?
Hi Michael,
Some parts are made in China due to lower production costs.
I PURCHASED A BREVILLE TOASTER OVEN THE BACK PANEL SAYS MADE IN CHINA HAD I KNOW THIS I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THE PRODUCT THE WHOLE WORLD THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH THIS IRRESPONSIBLE NATION SHOULD BOYCOTT ALL THEIR PRODUCTS FOR THE MISERY AND DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED
So this is not true?
“All Breville® products, including the BOV800XL Smart Oven®, are designed and engineered in Australia and manufactured and assembled in China. …”
Hi Leigh,
Many Breville products are nowadays assembled in China due to lower production costs
Really? Just looking at the 3 in 1 microwave combi and it says Made in China!
Are ALL Breville products manufactured in Australia, Canada and the USA. Does that include your line of espresso machines?
Hi EJ,
No! Not all Breville products are made in those countries. Breville products are nowadays also made in China.
I am interested in your remanufactured Barista pro or the Duo temp pro . Unfortunately you are sold out still . I am on your mail list for when either of them come in . I just wanted to know if you have any idea of when you may have either of these or anything similar to become available?
Thank you,
Traci
Hello I have been watching YouTube demonstrations on the Breville combi wave and am very impressed with it. I am very disappointed that it is only available in America as an Australian company which is very impressing why was it not released in Australia first.
I would really like to have one.
Hi Jacque,
You can always order it online and have it shipped to your contry
We want to know where you make your products ie. China?
Please be truthful
Thank you loyal consumer
Hi we just bought a bit of breville history. A fp-14 cyclonic super wizz. looks a beauty. Can you tell us when it was made, made in china on model n.o.
Thanks
Hi Phill,
Thanks for contacting us! Can you provide us with more info about your product? Does it have any serial no. or labels?
What toasters are made in Australia please
Hi Gail,
Some are made in Australia, some in China… You can check it on the packaging box
Yes, designed in Australia – but, manufactured in China. I am so disappointed to find this out after just buying a bread maker. Will not be buying Breville brand again.
Hi Ariel,
Not all Breville products are manufactured in China.
Hi I have an old Breville cyclonic kitchen whiz (model FP8)230/240 V.A.C 425W
Aust.Pat. 548399
that was my mums.
It’s a great kitchen asset
But sadly the bowl clasp that licks it in and presses down the go button cracked and snapped off everything else is perfect. Can you help me please.
Our family has been Breville supporters and buyers for many years
Hi Lumari,
Did you try contacting Breville customer support? You might try replacing the worn out parts…
This is not the case. Breville products are manufactured overseas, mostly in China. Here is the AU Manufacturing site on Breville from May 2020: https://www.aumanufacturing.com.au/breville-does-all-but-manufacture-locally
They design/engineer and market from Australia only these days.
You can confirm this as ‘Breville’ has no hits on the Australian Made website.
Hi Graeme,
Spot on! Nowadays everything is made in China lol
I am so happy to see your comment above. If you do manufacture your products in Australia, USA, and Canada, then you may want to update your web page. I no longer wish to support products made in China, and was reading for that purpose. Your website states that your (deep fryer) product is designed in Australia and manufactured in China. You may want to update that, kudos to your company for putting quality above cheaper out sourced labor! That is a selling point for me
Hi Kathy!
Thank you for your support! Yes, quality first!
I purchased a Breville BTA730XT The Bit More 4 Slice Toaster 2 months ago from Amazon. The lever for the temperature control broke off. When I contacted customer service for a warranty replacement staff requested the produce 4 digit batch code and/or serial number. The unit has no such identification symbols. After I attemped to explain this to the Breville customer care team they have rejected my emails and will not communicate. Query: why is Breville selling units over Amazon with no unit identification?
Query: why is Breville refusing to honor the written 1 year warranty?
Query: why is Breville treating me like I am a criminal?
Hi Gregg!
There should be a label with the 4-digit serial number somewhere on your device. Did you try calling their customer support instead of reaching them via email?
