We initially had cheaper Oster Immersion Blender. The major issue was it was difficult to clean especially near blade. There was food collecting inside shaft where shaft goes inside the unit. Also it was creating splatters. This is totally a non-issue with Breville. We ordered the Breville Immersion Blender primarily for quick kitchen tasks such as making baby food, paste, milk shakes and chopping. The blender is fast and powerful and variable speed makes job much easier.
We must say this blender is designed very well and works exceedingly well. It looks beautiful aesthetically and designed very well ergonomically. Handle and trigger switch are quite ergonomic and easy to hold. We were so amazed at how neatly the blender works without splatter or splashing due to the design of the blending blades and shroud. The plastic mixing container is nicely designed and has nice handle for securing the container while blending. Top when inverted and placed underneath acts as a skid proof cushion to prevent the container from moving around while blending. The whisk attachment works great for making buttermilk etc. Clean up is pretty easy. Blades are protected by a shroud which is great safety feature. We are using it for general kitchen tasks, but using Vitamix for all heavy dedicated tasks as well as smoothies. Though this little immersion blender can not produce as good results as Vitamix, it is good for quick tasks and can do most tasks pretty good. Basically it is "Jack of All" kind of little machine.
This Immersion blender is expensive, but very well worth it. We are using it now for last 3 years and very pleased with it. We are very glad that we bought it and also gifted to two of our friends who are equally delighted. We are so pleased with Breville kitchen appliances and now we have 5 appliances from Breville. Highly Recommended!
