Isnt very powerful, it struggles to blitz biscuits i always end up doing them by hand. The whisk cant handle whipping cream, it overheats and you cant hold the actual handheld bit. It blends soup ok but not great. This was replacing my cheap tesco one which i had for years and only broke cos of 1 button. This one is fit for the bin only. Its also hard to clean cant put whisk or lid into water just wipe or else it fills with water and cant get it out again. Avoid!
abDreadful broke after about 3 months
ShirskiJust easy to use, good attachments & powerful for what I need
andreww5246I'm delighted with my purchase. It looks great and also looks a lot more expensive than it was.

DottieWish I had read reviews better, we all say the same thing! Avoid! no good if you are a cook or just messing around in kitchen
Spanner. Love it.Excellent service. better quality than expected. use it constantly . would not like to be without this blender now
jeanGreat itemWould have liked whisk to be a bit largerBut solid well made item, does exactly what it says it does
Peter HogginsA very useful addition to the kitchen gadgets. Although the unit has various attachments the blender blade and the whisk are the ones we use. The mixer attachment is too small to be of use to us, but may be useful to prepare baby food.
fishphotosEasy to assemble the different attachments. Easy to clean. Works very well.
Very impressed with this blender and would recommend it.

Sienamiavery good for price. A bit heavy for old hands but still very happy with it. the other attachment are also very useful and can be attached quick to use.
saritaWe had one for years and it does the job, no complaints. By wife damaged it so we have bought an identical replacement.
DigbyDanAll parts are now broken after one year or so from buying. When working it was very messy and noisy.
ileniaIf you're looking to whip up something mouth-watering in a moment, opt for a hand blender--the smaller, more portable alternative to a blender. Unlike mini-choppers or processors, this type of blending favours foods with a higher water content and so is ideal for fixing soups, sauces, milkshakes and smoothies and tackling softer foods like fruits and vegetables.
The Breville VHB014 is a three-in-one blender set. The blender has a detachable leg, also known as the head, which is dishwasher-safe and made from stainless steel. This is less corrosive and more resistant to rusting than other materials and boasts antibacterial properties that keep it hygienic. The stainless steel, two-tip blade is positioned inside the head for safety. By keeping it neatly out of the way this also acts as an anti-splash guard to help minimise unwanted mess.
The main body of the blender has a complementary stylish and durable stainless steel and black finish and contains the powerful 400 watt (W) motor. There are two speed settings--regular and turbo--so you can change the rate at which the blades turn to give a greater level of control. And this control is further helped by the handle's ergonomic design delivering a solid and comfortable grip. Safety concerns aren't overlooked or compromised thanks to the semi-recessed buttons which prevent the motor from starting if it's accidentally knocked over or dropped.
The set is completed with the trio of versatile attachments--a large 700 millilitre (ml) beaker, a 500 ml chopper bowl with stainless steel blades and locking safety lid, and a stainless steel balloon whisk with plastic collar. The beaker has a clever 'no spill' pouring spout to help minimise spills and mess and the chopper bowl has rubber feet to prevent slippage when in use. The attachments fully dissemble for easy and quick cleaning and are dishwasher-safe to save on washing up (excluding the chopper's lid and whisk's plastic collar).
Use the chopper bowl to tackle herbs and vegetables, create chunky dips and sauces such as salsa and pesto and make breadcrumbs or alternatively reach for the whisk to whip egg whites, cream and batters.
