Beautiful machine, but aggressively terrible lid design
on September 2, 2023
Posted by: Matt
Pros: This blender is absolutely beautiful in person - probably the most beautiful blender I've seen! The base seems extremely sturdy and well designed.
Unfortunately, that's all I've got for pros.
I'm really not sure what Breville was thinking with the blender jar lid design – it takes an incredible amount of force and technique to open the lid, and poses a challenge even if you're really strong. The pull ring does not give you enough leverage to remove the lid, and the design is such that the pull ring will inevitably break one day from repeated openings - it's just too much stress on that fragile clip. But there is no other surefire way to open the lid without damaging it or the jar. The gasket creates an incredibly strong seal, and the lid clips are pretty rigid and don't remove that seal, unlike other lid designs I've seen. If you or the person you're considering buying this for have hand / wrist issues or are elderly, the blender is straight up unusable. If you're really fit and strong, you're still gonna have a bad time.
No matter how the Super Q performs, if the lid is this poorly designed, it doesn't even matter if it's one of the best performing blenders on the market – this blender needs to go back to the drawing board. I haven't even come across another blender, high-end or otherwise, where it's this hard to open the lid. I for one would love to see, you know, the *other* high end blender manufacturer get some more serious competition, but sadly this blender ain't it. Maybe the next iteration of Breville's high-end blender can finally get it right.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Blender

This is our second Breville appliance. Best blender...We use this blender daily and have been very happy with it. Love how I can touch 1 button and walk away. Looks great too!
I so love the functionality of my new Breville blender. Every morning I make a healthy smoothie with the bullet blender. I am so glad this is on my counter, helping me make the best food I can.
