Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville CBL10XL Classic Blend Master Blender
Customer Review: 5 stars--for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I did extensive reasearch before buying this blender.
I was looking for something that would dazzle my countertop as well as make dreamy smoothies every morning for my family of 4. Therefore, I wanted chrome, with the highest power motor for the lowest $.
Previously I had owned cheaper models that were basically disposable -- not only did they leave my smoothies chunky, they'd break down and I ended up buying a new blender every year or two. I wanted to invest in a more powerful motor, but didn't want to pay more than $200.
The Breville motor power met my expectations. And I was thrilled with the price.
I've had it for over a year now and my only dissapointment is the "chrome" finish is some sort of plastic. IT started to chip off of the blender jar base ring almost after teh first use, and just this week has started to chip off of the blender base itself. Underneath the "chrome" finish is a white plastic. The worst part about the chipping is that the chipped finish is razor sharp and we have cut ourselves badly several times-- especially on the jar ring which you have to handle each time to twist it off for washing. But we've become accustomed to wrapping a kitchen towel around the sharp thing to remove it and haven't had a bad cut in a long time.
I would have rated it just 4 stars for the cheap "chrome" finish, but for the price, it's a power ful motor and does a great job. And after a year+ the base itself still looks good sitting on the counter-- hence the 5 stars-- you get what you pay for.
Description of Breville CBL10XL Classic Blend Master Blender
Lobster Salad with Raspberry Sauce, Lamb & Tabouleh Pita Pockets, or Cheese Sticks with Pesto? They can all be made using this powerful, commercial strength blender, and the recipes are just a few of those included in the instruction/recipe booklet. You'll find it handy for a number of tasks in addition to crushing ice and making smoothies or cocktails. For instance, you might use this blender to make bread or cracker crumbs, to mix batter, to puree soup, and to emulsify dressings.A gorgeous piece of workmanship and powerful to boot, the Breville Classic Blend Master makes blending sauces, smoothies, drinks, and soups a pleasurable snap. The unit starts with an incredibly sturdy base combining a 580-watt commercial-strength motor and gleaming metal die-cast housing. The 6-way blade system, patented by Breville, is smartly engineered to work with the upward vortex of the pitcher for optimal mixing and consistency. Made from sturdy thick glass with a broad glass handle, the pitcher holds 48 ounces (1.4 liters) and is clearly marked with both metric and imperial measurements. One of the best parts of Breville?s construction is the way the pitcher attaches without screwing on--just nestle it into four slots in the base, and it?s ready to go. A tight-fitting lid prevents splashes, while the removable inner lid allows for mid-blending additions. Leak-proof and handsome, the pitcher?s rubber-rimmed chrome base adds easy stability and makes it suitable for the table. Power settings include three distinct levels--with one specifically designed for ice--and a pulsing function. Perhaps on future versions, the power switch will be upgraded to metal, but its current plastic structure is sturdy enough. Outfitted with raised non-skid feet, the unit also comes with a one-year warranty and Breville?s signature safety plug, which is easy to insert and remove from sockets. --Emily Bedard
