I love the new blender. Looks amazing. It is relatively quite compared to a blendtec I was using before. I like having presets and the control knob. It has powered through making peanut butter without issues. It overheated once and automatically shut off to protect the unit. After a few minutes it was ready to go again. It has fans that automatically kick on which is great. Everything is very well built. Inspires confidence that it will last. Jar is quite secure to bar during operation. Don’t feel like I have to hold it down. I like having the tamper. Not sure why the scraper tamper is shorter than the standard tamper. I think it would be better if it were longer, but maybe I’m missing something. The personal size jar and blender base work great. It’s nice to have a smaller jar for smaller tasks. Some reviews have complained that the lid on the larger jar is hard to remove. It’s a lot more secure than a blendtec lid and vacuum compatible which I view as a plus. Not hard to remove in my opinion. With the personal jar, it appears that it needs to be tightened more to the blending base but really just medium hand tight is sufficient. Doesn’t fit under cabinet with jar which is ok, I just store jars in cupboard and pull base out when in use. Overall fantastic. No regrets here. Will be buying more Breville products when I can. Expensive, but worth it for me.
