We’ve had the Ikon for a couple of years. At first I was in love with it. It’s powerful and looks good.

However, the design flaw is in how hard it is to clean. Taking the base on and off is not that hard, albeit inconvenient.

But there are parts (where thick liquid leaks in around the bottom of the jar) that don’t come off, unless perhaps with screwdriver? There are 4 tiny screws there, but for godsake, do you have to take the entire thing apart with a screwdriver to get it clean? Major problem.

It just doesn’t seem all that hygienic to have old food stuck there. I have to remove the base for every use (and the solid pitcher is heavy for people like me with spinal issues - that would be a plus if i was 20 years younger before injury). Removing it is a bit of a hassle (if it’s tight there is a tool that comes with the blender) but that’s not what I’m complaining about.

The problem is EVEN WHEN YOU REMOVE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM MECHANISM (the part containing the blades and rubber gasket)and wash everything out, you can see the smoothie/soup/puree stuck in parts where the bottom doesn’t come off, between the glass and that big silver base of the pitcher. I have tried soaking it in the sink, running through the dishwasher, but this food is just in there. That seems unhygienic.

If it didn’t have this problem, I would love it. It’s a good machine. But why so difficult to clean? Not worth it. If they fixed this cleaning issue, I’d buy another Ikon. But as-is, I’m tired of trying to get it clean. Such a shame.

Last year I bought the newer big version (big plastic pitcher) and it had the same problem, so I returned it. Breville, have a home cook inspect your designs!

So to recap - no problems with durability or power, well-made with the exception of oops! - someone forgot that a blender needs to be cleaned. And the pitcher is super-heavy, so disabled/injured users take note.

I live in the middle of nowhere and do appeciate being able to purchase something like this from amazon, but considering what this is, a rubber gasket, the shipping costs were outrageous. A gasket doesn’t need a padded envelope; wrap it in a single sheet of paper and stick it in a letter size envelope with a .42 stamp for gosh sakes!

We spent a lot of money on this blender thinking that it would be worth it, but it was NOT. It leaked all the time, the rubber gasket got moldy (no matter how much we washed it), and eventually the leak corroded the outside bottom part of the unit and rusted the bottom part of the blade assembly. Because the unit is out of warranty Breville was no help. I emailed them and they referred me to their customer service number and warned me that it would be quite a long wait on hold. Gee, I wonder why. Don’t buy this blender it will self destruct right after the warranty is up. All of the positive review here are no doubt posted by happy Breville employees.

Product is in good condition and arrived on time. It comes with the rubber gasket which was not noted in the product description, but is a good bonus.
