This was a replacement wand. I have the whole set up with the food processer. My last wand lasted for years (>10years). Only issue with the new one is my older hands have a harder time with the release buttons. I like the will get better as a I use the new one.
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. His first use of it was for his “famous” red sauce and it worked perfectly. He’s very pleased with it and I’m sure I will be too. Thank you!!
One of the main reasons I bought this was it included a chopper blade. The chopping assembly is cheap plastic. I used it twice and it cracked. The third time it fell apart. Decided mine might have been defective and came on this site to by a new one. They are out of stock here and on other sites as well. So I'm assuming it's not just mine. If the whole assembly were metal, maybe it wouldn't break so easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear of your experience. 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.
The chopping blade should be available in 3-4 weeks. Thank you for your patience.
I noticed a crack across the bottom of my chopping bowl yesterday as I was using it for the third time since purchase. I believe it is a design fault as I noticed when reading reviews on the product website that this is a common product complaint going back a number of years. I purchased this control grip immersion blender as I presumed the quality would be excellent, however I am disappointed that this issue has not been rectified. Overall the wand works very well.

I bought this about 2 years ago for the immersion blender. I've wound up using the mini food processor a lot more than the blender and have generally been quite happy with it. Yesterday when washing the top of the food processor, I noticed a lot of water inside the plastic housing. The water shakes out slowly and smells really bad. I can't figure out how to get all the water out. I always hand wash this part. The replacement part is not in stock. I wish this part was designed better to avoid trapping water.

Honestly, Breville NEVER disappoints !!! It's worth the extra investment to get the best. It checks all the boxes. I cook almost everything from scratch. so that's a lot of sous chef work. Cutting, chopping, mincing, blending.... I love this immersion blender. The design is so comfortable to use and I know Breville will stand behind the quality of this product. Also, love the stacking containers - the best for smaller kitchens like mine.
The stick blender works fine. I purchased because I fell in love with the ergonomic grip.
The chopping bowl is a terrible experience. I try to use it to make salad dressings. Because there is no seal, I always have liquids shooting out, leaking everywhere, soaking towels. It’s useless. Why isn’t there a seal?
