This is the most powerful and versatile blender I’ve used. It’s also quiet, easy to clean and build with quality materials. It’s even strikingly light! The only element that in my view could be improved how the lid closes and opens.
Over the pass few decades, my wife has used several different makes of blenders (KitchenAid, Ninja, Cuisinart, Black and Decker). While some functioned better than others, they all suffered weaknesses that rendered them near useless after a couple of years and never did perform top notch in primary functions such as making smoothies. And all of them had plastic gears where metal is a necessity for longevity, and sub-powered. This is where the Breville Super Q excells. It has tremendous power and gears (drive system) that are made of metal, so should be no issues of stripped gears like we got on the plastic geared blenders. Also, the noise suppression technology does a good job of quietening this powerful 1800 watt blender.
Bottom line: Yes, it is expensive. However, you really do get what you pay for in quality. I expect this blender will the last one I will need to buy. My wife is thrilled with it and has been using it several times a week.
Awesome. Thank you. We like the larger size pitcher and it feels heavy duty. The personal blending cup is good for baby food blending too. We love it. It is powerful and super nice.
Since we both work from home and I work in area kitchen/living it is amazing how quick and quiet the Super Q is for a blender. OK, do not expect it to whisper. It is a blender. It is extremely powerful and efficient. Much easier to clean that our past Nutribullit. Love Breville. Our home is almost 100% Breville small appliance in the kitchen.
The preset options are ideal, especially the green smoothie option. The smoothie button makes perfect dairy-based smoothies with an airy texture (but not foamy). The green smoothie button leaves no pieces or chunks at all even when blending raw carrots and kale. Soup button is perfect as well.
