*Update Oct 2016: I took the blender apart and found a wire shorting out on a control panel due to a poor soldering job at the factory. A simple fix if you have the tools. Since then it has been going strong with no problems. Very good mixer. I really like having the "Burst" option to go from the lowest setting to the highest. That's pretty much the two speeds we use 99% of the time. Losing one star because this should have been a non issue for this brand and price point.
I love the whip attachment, it is awsome for whipping cream.
My only complaint so far is that the 'turbo' button is easy to hit on accident. The designers should have put that button in a better place or made it harder to push. I've had a few exciting moments using this product where food went flying at high velocity when my palm pushed the 'turbo' button on accident.
I really don't want to throw it away and have to buy another one since that just seems wasteful and as overall this had great reviews. I start wondering if I can get it repaired. It is fairly late at night at this point so I send an email to them, completely upfront about purchasing it used, asking if I can send it in to be repaired. After a couple emails back and forth and providing lot number, receipt, etc., I hear back saying they will it under warranty and sent me a free shipping label to return my current one and they are sending me a brand new one in return! Score!
While I've never dealt with their customer service before, this completely painless experience that far exceeded my expectations is definitely making me a lifelong customer. I've had great luck with my other Breville products and am sure that will be the case with my new mixer!
