Breville Blend Active Personal Blender & Smoothie Maker | 350W | 2 Portable Blend Active Bottles (600ml) | Leak Proof Lids | White & Green [VBL246]

It works good. I still need to see if i can blend dates, milk banana and some collagen together

Works well no problems

This is the only kitchen appliance I've ever used that should be subjected to The Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 (the Vibration Regulations), but I will get to that in a minute.This is my 4th Breville blender, but when I bought my first, it didn't vibrate and shake around the worktop. It was controlled, albeit ridiculously slow.Number 3 was returned a few weeks ago as it started sparking and smelling like a burnt out motor. Literally after no more than 6/8 shakes. The bushes had become dislodged after burning out.The machine itself is poorly designed. Firstly, the motor for the size of the bottles is undersized. The motor labours though every single shake, barely breaking up the frozen fruit.Secondly, the blades are designed so poorly, there is a minimalist vortex affect in the bottles. Unless you add alot of fluid to the bottles, don't expect the blades to create much of a vortex, as two blades point upwards at 45°/135° and two downwards at 225°/315° , with a slight angler placement on the blades if a few degrees.The machine itself is so poorly balanced, I would claim that in using the machine, you are exposed to more than the acceptable limit of vibration. The momentary power button, means you've to keep hold of the machine whilst pushing the power button to get the machine to blend. This in turn transfers the vibrations from the poorly balanced machine into your hands, with the tingling apparent after use.You could make the argument that it is only £20 "what do you expect?" but I would rather spend £60 on something else that actually works than waste my time with this.I initially purchased this because I have a Breville kettle, toaster and sandwich maker, but I'll happily admit, they work as they are ment to. Unfortunately this blending contraption falls way short of my other appliances.I would in no terms recommend this machine. Sort it out Breville!Update* number 4 is gone but not before making a mess of my kitchen. Never again will I own a Breville appliance.

got this blender to replace my old model one. still prefer the old one but this one is great too as it’s smaller and handy for making smoothies/ juices like I do. I use it to blend almonds in my drink so it’s convenient for that. its a cute colour and breville is a great appliance company, never lets me down!

Great quality product

Very useful easy to use

Simple and easy to use. No fuss. Takes up very little space.

My experience with this blender is mixed. I bought my first one (similar model) in 2020 and it lasted until 2024 which wasn't bad. I then bought a second one in the hope I would get another 4 years of use but sadly it only lasted 14 months due to motor failure, just 2 months out of warranty which isn't great! It was used twice a day for protein shakes only. I like that it doesn't take up much space and although quite noisey, does a good job of blending shakes and smoothies quickly. I have now bought a third one in the hope that it lasts a bit longer and I will have a spare goblet and knife assembly.
