I glued it back together and managed to get a few more goes with it but it broke again and I figured that's ok I will just get a… If you are commenting on behalf of the company that has been reviewed, please consider upgrading to Official Business Response for higher impact replies. PCapon (1 review written) The first blender I bought was allegedly new, but had obviously already been used when I got it home and removed it from the box. Because it looked stylish and was a reputable make, I returned it and the shop issued me with a replacement.

This proceeded to smoke and stop working, after only three attempts to make it to do nothing more than it was meant to. If I knew where Mr Breville lived, I would throw it through his window - it's good for nothing else… I have had nothing but grief from my blender from the moment I started to use it I could smell the motor was struggling and the blade housing snapped while in ice mode which by the way cannot be replaced. Not a very good product for such an alleged reputable company… “THE BLENDE BROKE DOWN AFTER SIX MONTHS, YET NO SPARE...” THE BLENDE BROKE DOWN AFTER SIX MONTHS, YET NO SPARE POARTS.I WILL NEVER BUY PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. “ Breville is the sort of company that should be shut...” Breville is the sort of company that should be shut down by Law.To have a British company manufacturing this sort of junk in 2010 is very effective sabotage for any hope of economic recovery. To retail something at the cost of this blender,without spare parts must surely rank be considered a form of theft.

It's junk and I'll never touch another Breville product… “My blender blades broke off whilst using it on "ice"...” My blender blades broke off whilst using it on "ice" setting = sadly not fit for purpose, and no spares available - expensive pile of junk! looks pretty though :/… “Unlike other reviewers, I think this Breville BL1...” Unlike other reviewers, I think this Breville BL1 Classique blender is truly excellent. I've had mine for 10 years now and throw everything at it from raw veg to ice cubes and it just works. My only complaint is that after 10 years the blade body has broken and I cannot find any spares… “I dropped the glass jug of my Breville BL1 Classique...” phoeberainbow (1 review written) I dropped the glass jug of my Breville BL1 Classique and apparently can't get a replacement. So was thinking of buying a different jug as I have also had problems with the motor smoking if the contents is too tricky. To be honest I have never put anything harder than fruit and cooked veg in it.

Will be trying a Phillips this time… “The rubber on my Breville BL1 Classique shattered...” The rubber on my Breville BL1 Classique shattered after use, making it unusable. I have tried to get part but have to go direct, so still trying… “Smoke started coming from the base unit of this...” Smoke started coming from the base unit of this Breville Blender soon after bowl started to rotate. Only bought it today! Don't know yet - will see if replacement any better !… “No spare parts so i also will have to throw away a...” No spare parts so i also will have to throw away a perfectly good working machine !!!!! “Do not buy a Breville BL1 blender if to use for food....” Do not buy a Breville BL1 blender if to use for food. Good for smoothies, but that's it! The motor broke blending rice pudding (not a hard substance) for my child… “Good all round blender - great design.... Good all round blender - great design....No spare parts available........ it's only 5 - 6 years old, but parts are listed as obsolete.
