Gaggia's Classic Pro is a 58 mm commercial-group machine you can rebuild; Breville's equivalent money buys a 54 mm machine with a grinder and PID already inside. One is a platform, the other is a complete setup.

Gaggia North America publishes warranty terms per product on its US store.
Gaggia North America stocks parts and publishes model-specific manuals for the Classic Pro, Classic Evo and E24 generations.
The Classic Pro is one of the most repairable machines sold at any price: 58 mm commercial group, brass boiler, widely available gaskets and a large third-party parts ecosystem. Prestige super-autos are serviced through Gaggia's network.
Breville publishes a limited product warranty on each US product page; terms vary by model and are stated at the point of sale.
Breville operates a US service network and sells first-party replacement parts and cleaning consumables directly.
Baskets, seals, water filters and cleaning tablets are stocked as first-party parts. The 54 mm portafilter used below the Dual Boiler is a Breville size, so third-party basket and tamper choice is narrower than for 58 mm machines.
A lead-free brass boiler and a 58 mm commercial portafilter, with the over-pressure valve set to 9 bar at the puck from the factory.
Ceramic flat burrs and an integrated 0.5 litre milk carafe that froths automatically, in Gaggia's smallest super-auto body.
Under nine inches wide and 17 lb, with the same automatic 0.5 litre milk carafe as the rest of the Prestige line.
Discontinued, and the most automated dual-boiler 58 mm machine Breville has made — grinder, tamping and milk all handled.
58 mm portafilter, 45 grind settings and Auto MilQ automatic texturing with alternative-milk profiles in one touchscreen machine.
Grinder, ThermoJet and Auto MilQ automatic texturing behind a touchscreen — the least manual machine that still uses a portafilter.
