Description
Breville thought of everything with this sleek, beautifully designed blender. No matter what your blending needs—smoothies, salsas, chopping nuts, pureeing soups—this powerful machine delivers fantastic results every time and looks great while doing it.
Innovative Hemisphere technology and extra-wide stainless-steel blades deliver commercial-quality precision blending, while the signature vortex action, five speeds, and preprogrammed and pulse settings create uniform blends in record time. Easy-to-clean touchpad controls and a dishwasher-safe pitcher make cleanup a breeze.
Cook’s Illustrated said of the Hemisphere Control Blender: “With a curved jar, six well-configured blades, and a relatively powerful motor, this blender excelled at every task—and at less than half the cost of the co-winner.”

Amazing blender!
This is by far the best blender I've ever owned. I can't talk about the longevity yet since I've only had it for a weekend but it really is an amazing blender. There is a ""snow"" button that actually chops ice so small it's smaller ice chunks than any snowcone I've ever had. The motor didn't even hesitate on just putting in the ice w/o any liquid to chop it up. We made smoothies that were absolutely perfect by pushing the ""smoothie"" button and the digital display counted down while it transformed the frozen fruit into the best smoothies ever. We blended up a green drink with veggies and without having a juicer machine remove the beneficial fiber. The blade is built in and the bottom doesn't come off at all but it was extremely easy to clean. No leaks at all. The top fit on nice and tight and the pour spout poured smoothly. I think I've found my last brand of blender for life

Overall excellent blender and good value
We bought this blender to replace a cheap model that Consumer Reports rated a ""Best Buy"" but that broke after only a couple of years of very light use.
What a difference. This one is very well designed, solidly built, easy to clean, and has a well-chosen feature set. The quality of the $500+ Vita-Mix models at less than half the price. Overall a great value. We are now finding new ways to use a blender in our cooking routines

Quality!
America's Test Kitchen scored another hit with this recommendation. It is of high quality materials, appears durable and is good value. We have had this unit only a couple of weeks but I am sold on the brand. It is everything Cook's says it is

Blends very well, but only when the liquid is thing enough
This blender does a very good job at blending when it is actually able to move around its contents. I usually use this blender to do smoothies with frozen fruit in the morning. Given the consistency of my smoothie, the relatively thicker liquid, this blender has a lot of trouble pulling the contents down towards the blade and keeping the liquid moving. This results in a lot of shaking the blender when its running and stopping/starting to stir the contents with a spoon.
Additionally, I've experiences a few quality issues with my blender. The on/off button coating has already begun to wear off after a few uses. I've also noticed rust to begin to form on various parts of the blade assembly.

Blender
This is a nice kitchen tool, arrived well packed, and seems very easy to use. However, I had to download the manual from the web site which was a little disappointing. No instructions or recipes were in the box.

love this blender!
I bought this blender because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, and I agree. It makes perfect smoothies, crushes ice without a problem, Easy program choices including my favorite, self-clean. Its also easy to keep the base clean. Read the booklet because its good to know what you're doing before you start. I'm really happy with it.

Great kitchen tool!
Really a great blender, east cleaning and does a great job with hard and soft ingredients. Ice gets chopped to consistently fine size and frozen fruit gets creamy smooth.

Are these red $149 blenders refurbished?
Does this blender make thin smoothies?
BEST ANSWER: I think the thickness depends on the ingredients. I've made some that are nearly milky smooth and some thick enough to eat with a spoon. What you do get is a consistently smooth mixture. I love mine!

What is the Horse power of this ?Manufacturer: Breville
?Model: BBL605XL
and is this more powerful than Vitamix S30 in making crush ice and almond butter?
?Model: BBL605XL
and is this more powerful than Vitamix S30 in making crush ice and almond butter?
BEST ANSWER: Breville does not provide the horsepower for this blender. It is comparable to Vitamix in terms of crushing ice, but it I don't see any mention in the manual of making nut butters, so I'm not sure it's powerful enough to do so.

Can I pour hot soup into this blender?
BEST ANSWER: I do not recommend buying this blender. After one year of very light usage, it emitted smoke and a horrible burning smell and black gunk oozed out of it. I had to throw it away. I bought the KitchenAid Torrent, which I am very happy with.

Can this blender make soup?
BEST ANSWER: It doesn't heat up, but if you are asking if it can blend ingredients to make a pureed soup, it most certainly can! I like to use mine to partially blend some legumes to thicken up lentil soup or navy bean soup. I love this blender! it does just about anything!
