I found this blender at a thrift store and decided to snatch it up because it's "Breville"! I usually clean my blenders by just putting my soap solution and warm water into the blender and turning it on.īut as soon as the water reached a certain level over the gasket, the water came rushing out the bottom. I've decided that blenders deserve to be coined the worst kitchen appliance on the market. Yes, it blends well, but it's still a hassle to mess with which makes it comparable to every other blender out there on the market. Is it tight enough or is it too tight? Is the seal wet, did I wipe it off? Is it going to leak? Should I get out the towels? Should I test the blender with water first or should I risk losing my recipe all over the counter? Ugh! I really dislike guessing games like that. However, tightening up the bottom to the glass pitcher is like guesswork. I would give it five stars based on it's blending ablities and swear by it's ability to blend almost anything. I have complete confidence in it's blending abilities. Notes/Results: FRUSTRATING!! As far as blending goes this blender really blends it up. Total blender price for six month's use $159.99 Replacement glass pitcher (mailed from factory) $40.00 If you tighten it too much, then it leaks even more! If the seal is wet it leaks! Good grief, it's like rocket science!īest of all, the pitcher is made out of glass and if you drop it, it breaks! Good news is that you can order a new glass pitcher for the low price of $40, fun stuff, right?īrand new Breville blender (bought on sale, using employee discount $119.99) The only way to avoid the leaking is to tighten the bottom with the force of two grown men. Awesome power, sleek design, but wait a minute.what is that stuff coming out from the bottom of the blender? Oh, how nice! My brand new blender sure does whip it up good, but it leaks like mad. I made a smoothie from Ellie Krieger's new book and the blender whizzed it up with no problem. It was real pretty and I was real impressed with the design. So, I splurged and got a pretty good deal on the Breville blender pictured above. Obviously these inferior blenders were the problem, right? After all, an expensive blender carrying the "Breville" brand name would be like the King of All Blenders. About six months ago I decided that I would no longer buy $50 blenders. Why? Because I know I'm going to have a fight with the darn blender and it's probably going to win. In fact, if I come across a recipe that says "get out your blender" then I just start rolling my eyes.
I would say as an adult I've went through at least six blenders all in the $50 price range. I've dealt with every inconvenience, such as blenders that break, leak, and my favorite of all.spew smoke when their little motors can't keep up with the task.
Maybe it's all operator error and I can rectify this situation with practice.įor years I have put up with inferior blenders that wouldn't chop ice, blend smoothies, make margaritas, etc. Make no bones about it, the blender really frustrates me and I kinda want to know if I'm the only one. I've decided that the blender qualifies as "The most frustrating kitchen tool known to man". My goal is to hopefully recieve comments about how you perceive your experience with the blender. I'm still on the road visiting family and friends for the holidays so I thought I would post this product review that has been on my mind for awhile.
