I bought this because one of the lids that came with my original blender cracked apart due to a pressure build up inside the bottle. I was happy with this product for a few weeks but in that short amount of time, the same thing happened again. I was cleaning the bottle out with warm water, shook it slightly, and instead of the top topping off (as you would hope might happen if there's too much pressure in the bottle), the entire lid split horizontally. It's now leaking slowly whenever I use it so is effectively written off. I see that I pushed the bottle's limit twice now and have learnt my lesson but still really disappointed at how fragile these things are.The water was not even that hot (was cool enough for me to wash up with). I really like the look and feel of the product. People should just watch out for how fragile they are when there's pressure in the bottle.
Conor KelleherI've only used this about 5 times since my purchase and all of a sudden I went to use It today and the blade stopped working. This is such a disappointment!!!!
ShanyuI bought this as a replacement for a very similar Asda blender and although it fits perfectly it doesn’t have small nibs sticking out near the top meaning the blender wouldn’t work, I can’t hold that against it though as it is a different brand and wasn’t advertised to work with it.
In use the bottle provides a tight seal and I would trust it in a bag/backpack as long as it can be stored upright. I’ve been using it for protein shakes and some liquid can get stuck in the screw top area of the lid, this just needs a quick rinse to fix but could easily be missed.
The £11 price tag is very hard to stomach for a single replacement bottle, at the time of writing amazon are selling the blender with 2 bottles for £19 so may be better off just buying that instead.
Both bottles leak when filled with any liquid, so when you shake the bottle the smoothies end up everywhere! Not the best product I've ever bought!
SteveIt works ok if the fruits or veggies are not frozen and you wouldn't get the smoothest result. Not that easy to clean if you're adding nut butter as it can get stuck on the glass.
Giait has only one blade and doesn't smoothen enough wish the attaches bottles are of different sizes.
PrincessBought this to prepare my breakfast not as good as my old one but on the plus side it has two drinking cups
LangyThe blender itself is ok however it struggles with frozen fruits and requires a lot of liquid to get going but other than that it is ok. If you are after a smoother consistency then it is worth spending a bit more.
NazBoth bottles came with rough plastic around the rim of the drinking cap. Some of it was peeling off to the touch, I didn't bother using it because it could have possibly come off during drinking and would have been uncomfortable against the tongue. It just sits unused.
KriEasy to use! Takes up minamal space but unfortunately my one broke the 1st week I had it may hevwas a faulty one!
JjBlends quite reasonable quick. Good it had a ice crush function. Unhappy that you have to use your finger manually to operate the blender
DotThis is a good basic blender and is perfect as a first blender. Only has 1 power option but seems to manage fruit and vegetables okay.
JojoThe blender lid attachment does not screw on well to the bottles. If you don't screw it on tightly, it will leak completely, and if you screw it on too tightly or in the wrong way (which is impossible to figure out), then it will become stuck. I used this less than 5 times before I was unable to unscrew the lid, and the whole thing became useless. Good when it works, but didn't work for very long.
ConI wasn’t happy with this purchase at all. The blending setting was so low and did not blend ice as the package promised it would. I was excited for this product as it came with 2 very handy bottles but it wasn’t enough for the pirchase to be worth it.
TatiThese bottles are sturdy and elegant. The material is durable and looks high quality. However, the lids of all Breville bottles seem to have two major problems: 1) In order to create a tight seal with zero leakage, the lids seem to sometimes magically seal themselves shut so strongly that it takes inhuman strength to undo. I never screw the lid on tightly, however somehow unscrewing seems to always be a challenge. 2) The flip top lid design is faulty, again presumably a way to ensure no leaks. The flip open takes too much effort and I have actually snapped one of my lids right off its hinge by accident.There are cheaper alternatives in the market that fit the Breville blender, so it is wise to look for those first before spending on these replacements.
AparajitaIt broke on 3rd go would not recommend
HomeDoesn't blend very well, get chunks of fruit in your smoothie need to chop ok fruit into smaller and smaller pieces to ensue it all get blended evenly
ChloI love the modern link of this smoothie maker and it worked well for the first few weeks, the rubber seal kept falling out from day 1 and I had to keep pushing it back in by hand, which was quite time consuming. After 3 weeks, the whole thing leaked and I realised, yet again the seal had dissapeared, I found it in the sink but it had broken, so have had to take back as it can't be used.
Lucky LillianGreat blender, my only complaint is that the bottle unscrew the same way as it releases from the base unit so if you overtighten just slightly then you unscrew the bottle from the blending lid
1 off purchaserIt's an okay blender, given the price. My first attempt at it included carrots and I can tell you that didn't work well, since then I have stuck with soft fruits and leaves and it gives a good result. Whenever I'm about to complain about it I remember how cheap it is and that I got exactly what I paid for. In hindsight, I would have got a nutri bullet but.... Also not great with blending Parsley AT ALL.
