Product Description
Soups, smoothies, shakes? all in the palm of your hand. This 9.6-volt cordless hand blender doesn't restrict you to a particular area of the kitchen, so you can blend wherever it's most convenient. Use the patented loop attachment for smoothies and protein shakes or the surgical-grade stainless steel blade attachment for classic blending. When you're finished, simply return the blender to the base to charge the batteries for another 20 minutes of continuous use. One-year limited warranty.

 Breville Cordless Hand blender May 20, 2008
Julie Nitzel
I don't recommend this brand of hand blender. As you can see in the picture the stem is made up of two parts, stainless steel and plastic, that are glued together. On my appliance those pieces came unglued. Even though I have tried to glue them back together it is not a permanent fix. And no, I do not wash them in the dishwasher.
 Don't waste your money or time May 19, 2008

I bought this from williams and sanoma and it is buy far the biggest peice of jung there is. My wife and I tired to wisk salad dressing and the unit bogged down and quit. We though it was just to thick but after numerous attempts we just gave up. For a kitchen utensil that cost 100.00 you would think it could at least mix salad dressing. Don't buy this it will be a waste of your money.
 I love this--don't understand the bad reviews! March 28, 2008

I'm not sure if the bad reviews are written by people that have read the instructions, but it seems clear to me that they are not using this product correctly. First of all, if you are making a drink that has ice included, you always use the stainless steel blender. If it was just a milkshake with ice cream, then you can use the smoothie attachment. Personally, my breakfast drink in the morning always has some ice mixed with soymilk, soyogurt, flax meal, soy protein powder, stevia and flavoring (I use Frontier). The Breville works perfectly every time. The "stalling out" occurs to protect the motor--not a problem, though. The mixing jug is polycarbonate--I prefer glass, but that is simple enough to change. The polycarbonate jug is pretty tough, though. The Breville BCS500XL is heavier than the corded models, but I much prefer the extra weight to the cord. When I use it to puree soups (which is SOOOO much better than trying to use a regular blender) I prefer not to have a cord hanging across the counter and stovetop. I really love this product!! If you question anything about it, just buy it from a good dealer that accepts returns without hassles.
In summary, this unit takes up little space on the countertop, is light enough for a wimp like me, is easy to use (two buttons have to be pushed at once--can you handle that?), is actually a 9.6 volt and works like a dream! Did I mention that I love this product?!!
Stalls out September 13, 2007

I am now on my second Breville mixer since March (six months). I use the thing twice a day to blend one half cup cottage cheese with three tablespoons of fish oil & a little milk. After a month or two, the mixer will stall out. At first I thought I was relaxing the pressure on the buttons but don't think that's it. I'll be returning this second one to Williams Sonoma for store credit. I'm here on amazon to find a different brand. The Breville does clean up very easily -- perhaps with less intensive use it would be a fine machine -- not for me.
Very poorly built August 11, 2007

This blender was very poorly built. The plastic mixing jug cracked within a few weeks. The stainless steel blender attachment (which is held together with plastic, not steel), broke within the a few months. I strongly advise anyone thinking of purchasing this -- or anything else made by Breville -- to avoid this brand. I had a Cuisinart hand blender that lasted more than 8 years.
