I would have given it a 5 star as it makes great smoothies and puree butternut squash. However, it is so forceful that I once put it in a drying pad and it started rotating. Had I not been near it, it would have fallen off the counter. Love the dark black color. Bought one for my son in silver.
You can’t even compare a Breville to any other blender. I’m on a special diet and shakes are part of it. It blends the ingredients perfectly and even chops the ice so perfectly. I should have known-I purchased a Breville oven some years ago and am so happy with that. I will always look to Breville first.
