Breville 800 BLXL Die Cast Hemisphere 2 Speed Blender

Star Rating (303 reviews)

Research says:

The Breville 800 BLXL has a 1000 watt high torque motor which can quickly crush ice and blend drinks. This versatile blender can also mince meat and chop nuts.

The push buttons buttons make it easy to select the speed settings, while the electronically controlled motor maintains consistent results. Choose from blend, smoothie, or ice/auto pulse. The pre-programmed functions have been designed to run for 60 seconds, but can be stopped or re-started at any time.

The blender’s innovative Hemisphere system features extra wide blades that prevent food from being trapped and remaining unblended. The stainless steel blades and exterior resist corrosion and the blade’s maintain sharpness. For added convenience, the blender’s motor features stainless steel and polymer construction, which helps eliminate friction, create quiet blending cycles, and increase motor life.

The blender’s 67-ounce jar resists scratching, chipping, and fogginess, plus it has measurement markings in both cups and liters, and a reliable lid that fits tightly onto the jar. The jar can be cleaned in the dishwasher and the smooth metal base cleans easily.

The Breville 800BLXL is probably the best blender on the market, and I have tried several that are more expensive, and several that are cheaper. Don't be fouled by its only having 2 speeds, it does a better job then any multi-speed blender I have ever seen. I use it every day, its easy to clean and very powerful.

I enjoyed the power and performance of this blender while it lasted. After 12 months, the blades base on the pitcher rusted. William Sonoma replaced the entire unit, but 18 months later the rust returned. Unfortunately, this time the blades base rusted frozen and burned up the motor.

I wish I could say I was thrilled with this machine. Read so many wonderful reviews I chased it down at Sur la Table, the only location that had one in stock. I've made fruit and fruit and veggie smoothies, and have granuales and chunks of fruit and veggies. When I run it longer and multiple times trying to get it smoother, like when I made peanut butter...it was too hot to touch to remove the blade to clean. And when I did remove it, noticed gear grease clumped up around the bottom of the blade part. The o

I really liked the look, ease and power of this blender. Turns out it has one major flaw in the design of the jar--it is impossible to completely clean the base without dismantling the jar with a screwdriver. In researching this issue online, I noted that other reviewers commented that this design flaw eventually leads to mold growing in the jar. I returned this blender after 2 uses, so I can't confirm this but find it easy to believe.

I hesitated to put down so much money for a blender with a company I hadn't any experience. What an amazing product and what an amazing company. Mine worked perfectly for a few weeks and then the motor stopped working (it was a refurbished one I got from Amazon). Breville was just the best! They sent me a packaging return label by email within the hour and had a new one to me within a week. The motor wasn't repairable so they just sent a new one. With this kind of customer service on their products and they way Breville stands behind their product just amazed me. The blender is also great. I will not hesitate to plunk down money for a Breville product again. The blender is a great product. My daughter throws whatever she wants in her smoothie in there and it has a pulsing action that moves everything around and up and down. Perfect smoothie everytime: no scraping the sides down or having to stir it down mid-blend. I tried crushed ice: perfect sno-cone thin shavings. The buttons light up when you power it on and it has 3 modes: blend, smoothie and ice. The instructions tell you to hold the lid down with your hand when you have a lot in there because the blender is so powerful it does tend to push the lid up. Also, the lid is super easy to wash and the plug is just a breeze to remove for adding things while you are blending. Perfect mayo. The jar is polycarbonate and I'm in love with it. When you're done blending, you unscrew the blade, rinse the gasket and blade and the jar is clean with a rinse of water. Clean up is just great. No stuck stuff at the bottom. No sticking sponges around the blades to dislodge a berry. The whole thing comes apart and is easily cleaned with a rinse a water and a touch of soap. I used to run soap and water in my old blender after I used it so it would be easier to clean. The glass jar was heavy and the blades were sharp and close to the edges of the jar. I hated having to wash it and sometimes used to avoid blending and use a food processor or mixer because it was a pain to clean. It is such a nice looking blender: brushed metal and sleek design and a square form, that I keep it on my kitchen counter. We had a party recently and everyone in the kitchen had mixed drinks with it so they could play with blender (foodie geeks). I recommend this blender to anyone who uses a blender. It is easily worth the money for the use you can get out of it and you get a super company that stands behind their product to boot.

As far as the product itself, I'll simply say I've had great experiences with this blender similar to other reviewers here.

Here is what really impressed me: I bought this unit heavily discounted through a bargain internet site. It did everything we asked of it up until just a few days shy of the expiration of the one year warranty. All of a sudden, it wouldn't turn on. I called Breville customer service, wondering what they were going to tell me. After giving them the 3 digit serial number (less then a thousand of these have been made? Really?) off the base, and sending them a cut-and-pasted electronic receipt from my original purchase (I had never registered the product with Breville) they told me that they would be sending me packing materials and emailing me FedEx packing labels. When they receive the defective unit, they're sending me back a new 800BLXL.

You can't beat that.

For what it's worth, the customer service rep I was speaking to told me that this model hardly has any problems, and he'd never seen this particular problem before.

In summary: Great working and looking blender. Quiet for how powerful it is. Excellent customer service. Recommended.

I purchased this blender on another site for $150. It makes fantastic smoothies. No problems with the machinery. The jar is very easy to clean. The inside of the lid -- not so easy, especially when left to sit.

What I like:
Frozen items completely chopped up
Intermittent blend and ice pulse feature on the "smoothie" button
Good size jar
Convenient finger pull on lid and electrical cord

What I don't like:
The base is very heavy

This is a great blender for our daily smoothies.
