Would be a great blender if it kept working, at least this time it only took 1 month to get a replacement not more than 3 months like last time, why can breville not sort the problem with these ?, I have friends with the same product and it does the same every few months you turn it on and it is totally dead then a day or a week later it works again - usually. The first one I had lasted about a year before it died totally, the second about the same, there is obviously a component in the totally unnecessary amount of electronics or a dry joint or something causing this. Third time lucky I hope, it makes 1 smoothee of soft fruit and milk/yoghurt each day about 1 minute running so probably the least used of any of these blenders .

I hunted around for the best price on this because it is costly, but it’s very much worth the price. Heard people complain that it’s ‘not quiet’ but that completely depends what you are using it on. Crushing ice will never be a silent affair. It’s much quieter than my old blender for equivalent items blended/crushed and remains sturdy on the bench even when it’s dealing with frozen fruit, ice and other hard work items. Does an excellent job on everything I’ve used it on so far. Not sorry I spent the money.

It is versatile, love the soups and smoothies
