Almost perfect except for one fatal flaw

We bought this several years ago and fell in love. It's powerful, comfortable to hold, and excels at every task. But the plastic "guard" meant to protect pots started to deteriorate after a year or two of use, probably from the heat of hundreds of pots of soup. We found flakes of plastic in our food and that was the end. We had to throw it away, because a replacement part (listed on the site) is not available. It's too bad, because everything else still worked like new and it feels like a waste. Now we're in the market for a replacement, and I'm reluctant to buy this again and risk the same problem down the road.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We do apologize for not having the part for which you were looking readily available. Yes, it is frustrating when items are out of stock. While we always strive to replenish stock as expediently as possible, there are times when there is a gap of time between when a product goes out of stock, and when we receive more stock. We are working to replenish stock as expediently as possible. Please check out website periodically. Once stock is available again, it will show as available on our website.
Had a kitchen aid for years. Breville has brought immersion blender into 21st century. Love that it blends so well and does not suck the bowl up. Great product
I purchased this set several months ago to replace an aging blender and immersion blender. I am very pleased with the immersion blender and the whisk, a great range or power settings and comfortable to use. The larger mixing container is a good size and handy for small batters and whipping cream or eggs. The small blending/ chopping container and blades are useless. I have tried small batch guacamole, pesto, herbs all with poor results. Not up to your standards, no stars. I would only recommend part of this product.
I bought the bowl chopper for our Control Grip about a month ago and tried to use it today for the first time only to find that even with only a relatively small quantity of liquid in the bottom it splashed out under the lid. Not sure this ought to happen? There doesn't seem to be a missing seal or anything.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
