2.0 out of 5 stars Lacking in power, July 12, 2007

By	Glenda Nicholls (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not sure about the reviewers that think this heavy gizmo is powerful. I have been using a Braun corded immersion blender for over a year and it is far more powerful and cost $30 when I bought it new last year. Bought this Breville for the cordless convenience, but it stalls out often, even on full charge. The built in rechargeable batteries are only replaceable by sending it back to the manufacturer, and the cordless unit is much heavier than a corded unit so this probably won't be cheap when the time comes. As mentioned in other reviews, the power and speed switches are inconvenient and would probably not be recommended for anyone with arthritis or anyone lacking in manual dexterity. The "smoothie" attachment is made of cheap plastic, including the "blade" so if you like your smoothies with frozen fruit or ice, forget about using this attachment. For ice crushing you must use another attachment, but if you are a bodybuilder trying make a drink by mixing protein powders, supplement powders and ice cubes, you better get one of the many other immersions blenders on the market that sell for a third of the price, because this Breville just isn't powerful enough to do it without stalling unless you add more liquid than you probably care to drink. The cordless feature is nice, and for that it gets a star. It gets another for looking adequately attractive and for coming with all the attachments mentioned in the manual (i.e., nothing extra to buy). If you don't need the cordless feature, you might want to save your money and buy a more powerful, versatile version of this product for a fraction of the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stalls out, September 13, 2007

By	Eric G. Wruck (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am now on my second Breville mixer since March (six months). I use the thing twice a day to blend one half cup cottage cheese with three tablespoons of fish oil & a little milk. After a month or two, the mixer will stall out. At first I thought I was relaxing the pressure on the buttons but don't think that's it. I'll be returning this second one to Williams Sonoma for store credit. I'm here on amazon to find a different brand. The Breville does clean up very easily -- perhaps with less intensive use it would be a fine machine -- not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replace your blender; use a cordless immersion blender instead!, March 23, 2007

By	Baba "Mike A" (Lake of the Pines, CA) - See all my reviews

I hated the standard blender and the noise it made when in use. Plus the clean-up was horrible and all the parts to be put together!
This cordless is GREAT!. Clean-up is a snap and although my wife was reluctant to have another gadget she is now a complete convert! Great for sauces;soups;pancakes;crepes;dutch babies etc.
