 Dead after about 20 uses. August 3, 2008
Jered Talbot (Iowa)
Started off great, no leakage like other complaints I've read here, but in the middle of making a Malt the front display lights went out and the Blender was completely dead. Been used about 20 times, mostly margaritas and a couple off malts. It died during what sounded like a free spin... where there is an air pocket in the blender and the blades have essentially no resistance. Accidentally tossed my warranty info, so I'm SOL and can't comment on the Costumer service.
Great power- not very durable August 3, 2008
DH (Canada)
I bought this blender on Feb 26th, and it's Aug 1 and the thing is broken. We use it daily to make smoothies. At first I loved this blender, it blends quickly, and quietly, a real powerhorse, and works great on frozen berries, however after 5 months it's bitten the dust. I didn't realize that the mechanism which connects to the motor, (the spinning part) appears to simply be glued on, not sure, but that's how it appears.
I'm waiting to see what Breville customer service will do.
 Bad Blender July 14, 2008

Like other reviewers we thought the $200 Breville blender would last a long time. The leakage problem is intolerable. I've tried to find the 'key', but have decided the problem is the ridged silicone seal. The blade mechanism loosens in action, and it doesn't seem to matter how hard it's tightened before use. Because it makes a great smoothie, we sent our first one back (after quite a service department hassle) and had high hopes it was just a lemon. The second one still leaks almost every use.
I hope we can get our money back, but I figure it's a long shot. DO NOT BUY unless you enjoy anger and frustration at 6:30 am!
Nice blender until... July 13, 2008

This is a great blender that I enjoyed very much for the first six months until some liquid got into the NON-REMOVABLE rubber seal on the inside of the container and started to smell...
Unappealing.
That said, it was a great blender while it lasted. Buying a Vita-Mix 1363 CIA Professional Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor, Platinum or a KitchenAid KPCB348PNP Pro Line Chef's Blender with Polycarbonate Jar, Nickel Pearl next.
Pretty disappointed with this thing given the hefty price tag.
2 Lemons, Breville has problems July 8, 2008

I purchased the 600XL model in December 2007. I used it perhaps 20 times the last few months. The lip on the glass container chipped twice during the first few uses. In June 2008, it started leaking and the motor developed a grinding noise. I then purchased another one and noticed some changes. It is now called the 600XLA model. The lip is more sturdy, the rubber sealer ring is more solid and the blade assembly attaches differently. There is a tool included that assists in removing the blade assembly which was a difficult process in the first one. This new blender worked great the first time I used it. The second time, it wouldn't work at all. The lights on the buttons came on and the on/off button flashed...but no action. Dead! This blender was made in China. Could that be part of the problem? I've had much cheaper blenders in the past and never had any problems. As soon as I put out a little extra money to get a really good one...that will last, I wind up with 2 lemons right in a row. I'll go back to the store and get yet one more blender and we'll see what happens. It is a fabulous blender when it works. But this is really a disturbing senario. Also, customer service said that you can use the tool to tighten and loosen the blade assembly in spite of what it says in the manual. Honestly, I don't know how much more of this I can take.
