Breville Kinetix Pro BBL800BSS

We bought this super expensive blender and in less than 12 months of rare and very gentle use, the blade assembly has cracks. This is a consumable product and not covered by warranty. Do you really want to buy a blender whose base cracks in less than 12 months ? The cost of the replacement is worth two cheap blenders from kmart. Very unhappy. You can't even make a smooth dip in this blender. Just chunks all the time.

Just bought the Breville Kinetix Pro today. Very disappointed with making a smoothie — even after doing the smoothie cycle x3 and blender x1, the consistency is not smooth at all!! Still had some small chunks of banana and can see small strings of the leafy greens!!
Contacted the store straight away as I bought this product from their recommendation. They were happy to order and exchange for the actual brand that I was originally after.

I bought this BL800 secondhand for $20! What a bargain. It makes the best smoothies ever!
I also use it to make slushies and they come out perfect. I can't fault it and it was a bargain to boot.

I am so happy with my Breville Kinetix Pro smoothie makers. We use it every day to make a variety of smoothies and drinks. I have also used it to make bliss balls and was perfect!!

Terrible - we love to make smoothies, it doesn’t make a smooth smoothie. It’s chuncky and you have to eat your smoothie. So if you like to put raw veg in your smoothie don’t buy it.
Terrible - customer service, I asked for some support and suggestions - never heard back.

The positive, it’s quiet (probably because it can’t do the job) and it looks nice in the bench.

This machines ability is second to none. We have had it for a while now and it has never let us down. The finer you need anything the longer you run it for. It may be noisy however you dont expect a machine like this to make you smoothies silently do you??

This blender is great, no worrys about the build quality, it is nice and solid. The blender blends nice and smoothly. Great for smoothies. I would not recommend that you put ice in it. Good price, but loud motor.

Still great!

We've had the 800A model for about 3-4 years now and it's still going strong without any problems. It's a solid, strong appliance that looks stylish on my bench too. We use it a lot for sofridos for paella (blending herbs and tomato) and pesto for pasta (basil parmisan pine nuts garlic).

The lid fits well and the base is heavy enough so that it doesn't bounce around. I wash it in the dishwasher and it still looks new.

I didn't realize what a time saver and how easy it made preparing food until I tried to make paella at my mums house with her blender! Highly recommended.

omg this blender is the best. i love making ice slushies and this machine is the best one i've ever had. it's quiet, fast ice crushing and the plastic container is so light weight.......... a must buy....roll on summer..........got my froazen berries waiting !

I bought this product from Myer and only used it few times per week for my smoothies. Product is fine, can crush ice but not so smoothly; the engine is very loud. Happy with the product and the price purchased but not too happy with the all functions within; this product is only suitable for home use; not the best for smoothies

Brevile The Kinetix Pro Blender
We have a new baby, we wanted something compact (doesn’t take up too much space), powerful (2000 watts) and versatile (I use it for smoothies and blending baby food) we got it in this one.
All l can say is fantastic ! It’s everything we have been looking for.
It’s not too noisy and and easy to use with just a small selection of buttons.
BPA free is always a winner with us too
Well priced
Just love it !
Thanks Breville

I purchased this blender in February 2012 and have made a lot of smoothies since then. If i'm using heaps of frozen fruits and ice I find using the blend function for 20-30 seconds and two rounds of the smoothie function makes a perfectly smooth consistency, it takes a little longer but its still quicker than standing in line at a smoothie bar. It moves the contents around in the jug fairly well so it all gets blended. You have to make sure you've tightened the blade up correctly (by hand) or you'll end up with smoothie all over the bench, this has happened to me a few times. Clean up is easy I just pull it apart (5 items, jug, lid, inner lid, blade & seal) and put it in the dishwasher.

Bought this blender to bring to my work office for green smoothies thinking it can give me a smoothie. Unfortunately it can only give me a chunky smoothie. I am so disappointed as I have a $30 blender that does a similar job.
I think I will stick to my Vitamix . Nothing blends like this baby .

Purchased this last year and have found it to have one of the worst base connection. Put simply every time you use it liquid gets in between the blade assembly and the seal below. Which means every time you want to use it you need to unscrew the blades and clean it completely - otherwise you end up with rotting milk in the bottom. Also sharp corners to the base make it hard to clean these as well.

Final problem - if you don't screw it back together tight enough then the base will unscrew when using it and pour out through base.

Sold as a professional level blender - very disappointed
