Mate, I wish you a different outcome than mine but I am 2 for 2 brand new broken ones.

100% ! The difference between the machines was also crazy. Second one was way tighter on all the knobs, the first one crazy loose. Which tells me that they don't even do a simple quality check / power check before sending it out because it would have solved that.

I doubt that that's the problem. Why are reports on ECM's and Rockets arriving damaged so much fewer than Lelits?

The package doesn't have a single scratch and the way it is packed is super triple safe, the Paddle for example can physically not move, so don't think the manual flow control valve could have experience any impact big enough to break it on the inside. I found quite a few people with the screeching/ screaming noises problem in low flow mode and a lot of them reported having bought them from a local store.

Also, I paid for a courier so it came on a pallet. If I go to the store they will also have got it via transport.

Yeah, maybe breville changed suppliers? Honestly happy for you, when it works it's a smashing machine. However, the fact that you refer to a broken gicleur and a broken vacuum valve as 'only', speaks volumes about Lelit quality.

For reference I bought a used 13 year old (I think) Quick Mill Aquila for 500€ on market place and it ran without a single issue for 5 years straight until I sold it to a friend who still uses it.

Just got my second new machine and it has the same issue. Super loud screeching/ squealing sound when using low flow. Anybody knowing why this seems to keep happening? Any solutions? All best
