Product Description
The powerful 610 watt Ikon blender will make an industrious and long-lasting addition to your kitchen. It has a durable stainless steel base and glass jar and the pad is designed without crevices for easy cleaning. With its unique Bowl/Blade system, a super-wide curved blade operates parallel above a bowl, eliminating dead zones by created a continual folding movement - so efficient that it runs at slow speeds and blends in super fast time. It's quiet, smooth, easy to clean and simple to use. Has five settings, from ice crush to snow setting.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product - Definitely Recommend   July 17, 2008
W. de la Vega
This was a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. Not only is it well designed but the manufacturing of the product is great (does not feel or look cheap). She's been using it for about a month now with no regrets.

This blender is very powerful and resonably quiet. I have been using it everyday, sometimes twice a day, for about 2 months and have no complaints..it blends ice like a dream!


5 out of 5 stars great blender!   July 3, 2008

This blender truly blends smoothies without hesitation. It's domed bottom minimizes the need to stir the contents intermittently when blending. We've gone through a few lesser blenders, and so far LOVE this one!


5 out of 5 stars Great Blender, better customer service   June 30, 2008
Leslie Lees (New York City)
My beloved Kitchenaid blender finally dies and I do not like the design of the new ones so I thought hard about the replacement and settled on the Breville. As soon as I used it I realized I had a blender that far exceeded my expectations and experience. The smoothie function alone far exceeds anything I could have imagined. It blends and pulses in a way that properly blends everything and also does not leave gunk up the side of the jug as other blenders do. The design is also beautiful so form and function are perfect.

I did have a slight problem when I put in some hard frozen fruit and the rubber mount on the blade assembly shredded slightly. Even though it was a once only problem and I did not have the problem again Breville replaced the assembly free of charge and because they did not have the 550 assembly they sent me the 600 blades and jug as an upgrade.

I could not be happier.



2 out of 5 stars Not enough power!   May 29, 2008

I am a smoothie person who drinks at least one smoothie a day. I got tired of spending ten minutes a day making smoothie with one of the cheap blenders, so I decided to buy a more high powered blender.

The Breville was my first choice for its reasonable price/power and it's great looks. Unfortunately, my first smoothie was a disaster. I filled the smoothie 2/3 with fruits and ice, and I stood there pushing the smoothie button three consecutive times to no avail. Then I smelled something burning and I figured it was the motor. After spending 10 minutes getting the thing to make smoothie, the result was no better than my old cheap cusinart blender. Apparently, 610 watts is just not enough if you want to make thick, smooth smoothie.

I promptly returned it.
