Smoke poured from the blender before it could be shut down. Upon disassembly of the blade unit, it was observed that moisture had entered the bearing area even though a rubber seal was present. For some reason, Breville chose to utilize an unsealed bearing thereby inviting disaster. This blender is nineteen months old and is used primarily to make smoothies. from Amazon.com There are no worries about plastic leaching into your food when pureeing hot soups, or blending up nut butters or pestos. It works very well for all of these, as well as for making smoothies and nut or seed milks. My parents have a Vita-Mix, which admittedly does make a finer, ultra-smooth puree, but this one does the job well enough for me, and the significant difference in price plus the glass container give the Breville an edge in my book. I was also pleased that the pitcher lid is sturdy and does not warp if your food is hot. from Amazon.com Obviously we weren't pleased, especially considering the light usage. We brought the unit back into Bloomingdale's (a few months ago) where we got it, and they refunded our money. The salesman (my wife tells me) suggested the Breville BBL600XL/A Ikon Hemisphere LCD Blender. He said it was the best he's ever sold. from Amazon.com I did find plenty of replacement parts @ gourmetdepot.com, so I'm going to try and fix it myself. I also found a refurbished unit for $89 @ Sears. That's cheaper than the repair quote Breville gave me.... it's an OK blender, but for a car payment ($200), it should last forever. from Amazon.com This is my second Breville blender. The first lasted about a year and a half which is probably OK considering that we use it at least once a day every day. from Amazon.com I tried water as a lubricant as well but that didn't work. Another option to try might be to replace the O-ring. Breville pointed me to The Gourmet Depot for an O-ring replacement: http://www.thegourmetdepotco.com/store/store_partaccess.asp?category=-1&manufacturer=90&search=GASKET from Amazon.com I love the blender. Own it. Breville BBL600XL Ikon 750-Watt 51-Ounce Blender from Amazon.com The best blender I have ever used. Initially, the price made me hesitant to buy the Breville blender. However, after using the blender for two weeks now, I can say that the Breville Blender is an excellent product and worth every penny. from Amazon.com Overall this is a good product. However, there are several irritating things in this and all the Breville products. First their packaging sucks. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com
