I made a smoothie from Ellie Krieger's new book and the blender whizzed it up with no problem. It was real pretty and I was real impressed with the design. So, I splurged and got a pretty good deal on the Breville blender pictured above. Obviously these inferior blenders were the problem, right? After all, an expensive blender carrying the 'Breville' brand name would be like the King of All Blenders. About six months ago I decided that I would no longer buy $50 blenders. Why? Because I know I'm going to have a fight with the darn blender and it's probably going to win.

In fact, if I come across a recipe that says 'get out your blender' then I just start rolling my eyes. I would say as an adult I've went through at least six blenders all in the $50 price range. I've dealt with every inconvenience, such as blenders that break, leak, and my favorite of all.spew smoke when their little motors can't keep up with the task. Maybe it's all operator error and I can rectify this situation with practice.įor years I have put up with inferior blenders that wouldn't chop ice, blend smoothies, make margaritas, etc. Make no bones about it, the blender really frustrates me and I kinda want to know if I'm the only one. I've decided that the blender qualifies as 'The most frustrating kitchen tool known to man'. My goal is to hopefully recieve comments about how you perceive your experience with the blender. I'm still on the road visiting family and friends for the holidays so I thought I would post this product review that has been on my mind for awhile.
