Breville Fresh and Furious Blender

Love the blender. It does a fabulous job making smoothies, crushing ice. Self cleaning feature is a big plus. Well made, quality construction.

Pros: surprised that the jug is plastic, but it's lighter and makes it easier to handle. Cons: it's super noisy.

My blender was on the way out - fast. I drink 2 smoothies a day, everyday, so I couldn't hold off on replacing. What I thought was a great blender is light years behind the Fresh & Furious. Between a very easy to clean blending pitcher to a motor base that is super self contained, this is the new standard for me. I love the smoothie setting - I can push the button, walk away and come back to a perfectly blended and delicious drink that doesn't separate. I am only sorry that I didn't know about it before - would have made functionality and clean up much quicker - now I know and have passed the word on to others.

I wish you would make the lid Easier to remove. I would recommend it but not to an older person the lid is too hard to remove.

Not sure this machine is better than what my Cuisinart blender does. I was hoping it would do a better job with making smoothies using frozen fruit and ice. Often leaves pieces of ice intact no matter how much a blend. It's very loud as well. The self cleaning feature is nice but not much different end result than doing the same thing in my Cuisinart blender..
