Breville VBL075 Blend Active Personal Blender, 0.6 L, 300 W - White/Grey

I've been researching a good blender for months. I was leaning towards the more fancy and pricey ones but I took a chance and bought this instead.I'm shocked with how well this works.- comes with 2 bottles- well made and light- extremely easy to use- takes few seconds to clean it- blends in few seconds- fairly quiet- amazing priceI honestly cannot find anything wrong to say about it. If you are looking for personal blender with no fuss, look no further.

Just received so only used twice, 1st to blend my HUEL meal replacement powder and last night with added frozen fruits for a smoothy version. Great little blender so far can't complain at all for £20 (They sell for £30 for all colours at Tesco so on average cheaper on Amazon).I was worried when reading the instructions, I saw it said to blend for no longer than 30 seconds and leave the blender to rest for 1 minute between each blasts to avoid over heating the motor. Could be why some people report the unit burnt out if they continuously blended for long blasts in 1 go, but to be fair, it is so fast at blending things up, 30 seconds is pretty much enough to get a nice smooth texture. and if you do it in several 10 to 20 seconds blasts, I'm sure it won't heat up.Anyway, after 2 uses, I am very pleased with my purchase.Will be trying out to blend my powder with chunks on Avocado when I get home. Should be nice and creamy. Can't wait!!Update 03/05/2018:Been using it every day since I bought it and it's still brilliant so far.Update 09/05/2018:Alas, as other users have reported, today the blad unit decided to get stuck in place. I have had to turn the blender upside down to unscrew my bottle full of drink without it emptying everywhere.Tried putting the empty spare bottle on the blade hoping it might loosen and release but no luck.Have contacted Breville about it just now so waiting for an answer.It was all going so well, gutted.PS: Read and found the solution in the Customer questions. Blade is released. All good.

This product has an extremely dangerous design flaw and after having it for a few months the motor has now slowed down considerably which results in overheating. This causes the base to expand which then means it will not screw off. You then have to unscrew the actual container upside down so as not to spill the contents everywhere. This then leaves the blades exposed. If this happens to you REMEMBER to switch the power off! Unbelievable that this product got through QC! SHOCKING

Like every other blender I have bought the seal came off whilst in use and got caught up in the churning spikes. Protein shake went everywhere and now it is unusable and in the bin. I looked on there website and they do not sell replacement seals. They want you to spend £5 on the unit containing the churning spikes and seal. Surely they could throw in a couple of spare seals at the cost of under 1-2 pence to solve this.

Like most products I buy, I spend a lot of time doing my research. Many of the competitors were double the price of the Breville Blend Active Personal Blender & Smoothie Maker. After using this blender every single day for the past 5 months, I couldn’t recommend it more.There are so many positives with the blender...- Two bottles, these are very durable bottles, when I have finished my smoothie, I’ll wash them out and use them as water bottles.- Blending the ingredients inside the bottle and not a separate mixer, means less cleaning (which is the best part for me)- It’s easy to clean- Small, so easy to store, especially living in a small apartment- Great value - if it ever decided to stop working, it’s not going to break the bank buying a new oneThe video uploaded is a quick demo of making a smoothie.- x1 Banana- x1 kiwi- Handful of Strawberries- Handful of blueberries- Half a teaspoon of sugar- 2/3 milkI highly recommend this smoothie and it takes around 10 seconds to blend (I love it thick)Overall, you won’t find a better smoothie maker/blender for the price. It’s a must have in every household.
