Really impressive smoothie program as well as cleaning mode. I have used for grinding graham crackers for pie crust as well. Very nice. It is a large appliance and does not store well in average cabinets as well as included tools. I don't find the small blender does as well as large for smoothies.
I've had other blenders and normally I spend 15 minutes making my smoothies but this one is amazing it blend with ease. I would have to hold my old blenders when on this one I don't need to do that and it's not as loud. Breville brand is my new go-to for kitchen appliances. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the lid.
I absolutely love this machine. I got it primarily for smoothies, but have also made soups and frozen desserts with it. I love how quiet and efficient it is, and like all Breville products, it's very intuitive to use.
