Anyone used a Breville Boss blender (sold as Sage in the UK)?

[deckard]

I'm considering buying a Breville Boss blender (sold as Sage here the UK).

 

Anyone on here have experience using one?

 

I own a Thermomix but it doesn't blend things quite as smooth as I'd like. Looking at the Breville instead of a Vitamix as the jar/blades seem better designed to pull ingredients down without tamping.

 

Couple of things I'm trying to find out:

• Does it blend significantly better than a Thermomix?
• Is there a noticeable difference to how smooth it blends compared to the Vitamix?

Serious Eats did a comparison review of the Vitamix, Blendtec and Breville, check it out:

Thanks Palo - I had read the Serious Eats article, it didn't give a detailed comparison of the smoothies/purees from the Blenders apart from saying the Breville doesn't  "quite stack up to the Vitamix or BlendTec in terms of pure blending".

I don't have any direct experience with the Breville but a friend of ours bought one a few months back and returned it to buy a Vitamix. They said they really prefer the Vitamix over Breville. I know we have a Vitamix and really love it.

I have both a Thermomix and a Vitamix - and frankly, I prefer the Thermomix for pretty well everything. Can't say I really find 'tamping' that big a deal with the Vitamix though. No experience however with a Breville / Blendtec - sorry.
