Breville Blender 1 year in.

[Recoil Rob]

Just an update on the Breville Blenders. We bought on about 14 months ago primarily for smoothies, it gets used 2-3 times weekly and performs well, we like it.

It gets wiped down when needed but that's it.

As it turns out that attractive Breville "stainless steel" base is actually a diecast pot metal base that is painted with a silver paint. For no apparent treason except it's over a year old that finish has been peeling off and the base underneath is corroding. So far attempts to contact Breville have received no reply. In a few more months it's going to look like hell on the countertop.

Caveat emptor...

Thanks for giving us the update! Seen how it's deteriorated in such a short time certainly makes me not want to buy one. Hopefully they'll get back to you sooner or later and replace it.

Keep us informed.

It's been almost 2 weeks now and several emails have gone unanswered. I finally called and spoke with a very helpful gentleman named Jamal who made arrangements to have our blender replaced with an improved one. Will report back when it arrives.
