We have now tested this blender a good week intensive (ie several times a day). After a few initial "trouble" I am now quite satisfied with this product. But first to the "difficulties" After I have been pleasantly surprised at first - because of the fairly good processing, the stable bottle, the intuitive operation and the fact that the entire unit (the cutting) except for the actual engine component under running water can be washed off, the device has me a little scared ... it smelled in the first half-dozen uses for arg ... hmm ... "electrical fire" would be too much to say ... it's more the smell of a hot have become the electric motor. I must say that this is absolutely not the smell that makes me feel good. But I persevered valiantly in this case, and lo and behold: After the first Dutzung uses of smell is almost completely gone. I suppose now that the smell of it now comes that the device possibly been a while from the manufacturer and therefore Lubricants etc. have recognized - at least that would explain why it's only (again) had to "import". Getting used to, at the same time but due to design is inevitable in the product, that it - is used differently than you would expect from other mixers (Toploadern) - sometimes in the processing of "sticky" load has a small problem: It filled the bottle yes "upside down" in relation on the mixer (although the product images possibly suggest otherwise) .... Namely, the mix material filled into the bottle and then the bottle was sealed with a knife closure. Then you tip the bottle upside down and puts it with the knife closure first in the motor section of the instrument. Due to the fact there is an effect that can (with a closure on the top) has not at "Toploadern": One can not A. "top up" and B. stick ice cream, etc. on the "ceiling" of the mixer and slip possibly not in the knife zone. Here is occasionally agitating, Nachkratzen with a spoon, and the like needed to achieve the optimal Mixergebnis. For certain mix ideas (with ice cream, for example), the device is therefore possibly not at all suitable; for the daily fruit and vegetable-to-a-pulp-and Dice's enough, the fact that you can then directly take the bottle is quite charming. In conclusion I have to say: This device is definitely going to be called "good" and here is well priced in an area that I would see as acceptable. Whether here as other reviewers so Breville write a "proven concept" has cultivates, as they grabbed a water bottle for Smoothies in a blender, which was once undecided. There are other concepts and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Here the advantage of the "Make and Take" and is "Easy to clean" on hand. In return, irritating details come into play, which put a damper on the otherwise "excellent" overall impression "good" on: For example, the unit has no on / off switch and is only activated by the engagement of the wrong thing. What one hand, may well be regarded as a safety issue (the device works without the bottle does not), the device makes for me from an ergonomic point of view at least "strange" and means in my view that in the event of a damaged (eg a tear after years of use) or keyed bottle could not help pulling the cable only. Whoever finds rather hypothetical now, probably is right. It seemed to me, however, at the lack of switch immediately to mind because I have done with a mixer from a different manufacturer several years ago had similar experiences. This reduces however minimal the overall impression of definitely remains good.
