Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Money’

I bought the unit a couple of months ago thinking that I would make smoothies once in a while. I do. I also use it to mill flax, grind pepper, liquify onions and garlic for recipes (my kids hate finding any onion in their food). I even made pate in it. But not only do I use it but the kids use it at least two or three times a day for smoothies or shakes. So far, no complaints and the novelty has NOT worn off. It makes a great iced cappucino too! Make margaritas like the pros!
Its a lot of money, but I think its worth it. I’ve tried the vitamix 5000 and prefer the blendtec.

I have been using the bullet for 3 weeks now and here is my feedback.

The machine is a great thing and I would definitely buy another if I need to. The recipe book has some simple tryouts and so far all have been deliciously better then expected. I only wish the attachments were made of better quality components. Just because I have one PRO and 5 CONS does not mean the tool is not worth the money and you should not buy it. Like I said, it can do a lot of great things.

Pros: small, very powerful and does what the promos says. I am happy with the thing.

Cons 1) The glasses, cups, and attachments are all made out of the type of plastic that scratches very easily when cleaning with a mild scrubber sponge.

Cons 2) The bottom of the blade attachment uses a rubber gear to engage with the motors spin mechanism. To run the blender the user pushes down on the cup which comes into contact with the gear on the motor. So when the user pushes down too lightly the base motor grinds and burns off the rubber on the underside of the blade. There will be smoke and rubber smell in the air with rubber shavings around. So when you use the bullet make sure you push down with authority so you don’t grind away the engaging rubber on the underside of the blade.

Cons 3) I wish the glasses and attachments were stackable to reduce/space needed to store away all the components.

Cons 4) The inside of the glasses/cups are ribbed/reinforced with a lines of plastic from bottom to top making it hard to just insert a sponge and wash out. Probably the dumbest thing about the bullet.

Cons 5) When ice gets ground in a smoothie there are always good chunks of ice that don’t get ground good enough and get left behind.

I bought this model blender from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I used it just about every day for two months with no problems, although, when making smoothies, I found it best to add a few ingredients, blend them, and then add more instead of trying to blend everything in one shot. At right around having the unit for two months, the motor stopped working. Because it was under warranty, Breville is sending me a new unit. I have to admit they made it very easy to do this, including emailing me a FedEx label so that shipping was free. So, yesterday, right after I left FedEx from mailing the broken unit back to Breville, I decided to go buy another blender at BB&B again. Exact same model as the previous one. I used it ONCE last night and now today the motor is not functioning again. Exact same problem with this one after one use as I had with the previous unit after two months of use.

Needless to say, I either have really bad karma with blenders, or Breville has a serious issue with this model! I’m taking the second unit back to BB&B to get my money back and I will be buying a VitaMix. No more fooling around with lesser blenders for me!

My grandmother had the same Oster blender since the 60’s and it still works great. I recently bought this and was skeptical when I saw that Oster and Sunbeam or part of the same conglamourate. I stupidly threw the box and reciept out and my blender just went out in a blaze of non-glory. It was frustrating to keep poking at smoothies with a spoon so they would mix but now the whole thing just died after a month or about 5 smoothies. What’s worse is I was using crushed ice instead of cubes to cut down on the work the wimpy motor needed to do anyway. Also the buttons were just for decoration I guess because it only had one speed. Save your money.

I purchased 2 for myself and 1 as a gift. This product is well made and easy to clean. Keep in mind it is tall and won’t fit on your counter top under most cabinets. Don’t waste your money on cheaper models!

I have had several blenders over the years. This Oster has lasted the longest, I’d say I’ve had it for probably 4+ years and it is only starting to show a little wear.
However along with that I would also say that this blender does sometimes have a hard time chewing up chunks of ice. It’s best to put in smaller pieces of ice rather than larger, to make the blending process go more smoothly.
I think for the work that this blender does, it compares to the expensive commercial style blenders for relatively little money.
I gave 4 stars only because sometimes I wish it had more power to grind up the ice!
