What Others Say
Meets my power and durablity needs even after a year of use
I purchased this Breville Cordless Immersion Blender a year ago and have been satisfied with my purchase. I bought it because I frequently make smoothies (at least 3-4 times per week) and puree soups and wanted something more convenient than lugging down my full-sized blender. Because I have a small galley kitchen I also wanted something that could sit on my countertop while taking up minimal space.This has fit the bill for me.
When I first received Breville BCS500XL 9.6 Volt Cordless Immersion Blender with Recharging Base I found it a bit tricky to use as for safety purposes you have two hold down two buttons simultaneously, the Power button and Speed button. At first it was very awkward and I found myself using two hands, but over time I have become more comfortable with this arrangement and ... Read More
Never worked right
Breville BCS500XL 9.6 Volt Cordless Immersion Blender with Recharging Base never worked right and I should have sent it back before the warranty was up. It had trouble charging and would stall when I used it. I thought it was operator error (the buttons are awkward) but I've finally decided it's the machine not me. I will be looking for a different brand to replace Breville BCS500XL 9.6 Volt Cordless Immersion Blender with Recharging Base.
No replacement blades?
I think my problem with stalling out is that after six months of making smoothies (including ice-crushing) with the blade, I'm guessing the blade is a bit worn out. so the safety stop when the blade is "caught" and won't turn -- meant to protect the motor -- is now activating every two seconds, even when the blade is cutting a frozen blueberry. that would be all well and good IF I could buy a replacement blade, but I can't find one on the Breville site. Not very eco-friendly, or economical! Am I missing something?
Stalls out constantly
Hi,
I purchased Breville BCS500XL 9.6 Volt Cordless Immersion Blender with Recharging Base primarily to make smoothies. I have owned two other hand blenders in my life and bought this for its cordless capability. As other reviews state, it lacks power and stalls out constantly. To blend a smoothly with a handful of frozen fruits it stalls out maybe 10-20 times in the process. I called customer service to complain and they said it was probably defective. I sent it back and received a replacement only to find the new one has the exact same problem.
If you are using to make milkshakes and to blend only liquids, this will probably be fine. If not, save your money and buy a different hand blender.
Breville Cordless Hand blender
I don't recommend this brand of hand blender. As you can see in the picture the stem is made up of two parts, stainless steel and plastic, that are glued together. On my appliance those pieces came unglued. Even though I have tried to glue them back together it is not a permanent fix. And no, I do not wash them in the dishwasher.
