Title: Beautiful, but useless
Review: I chose this blender because of the sleek and attractive design, and at $200, I thought it would be superior to the blenders that are half the price. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. I first used it to crush ice. I filled the jar with ice and it didn't work at all. I tried using every feature and button on the blender, I removed half of the ice so that it was only filled up 1/3 with ice, I even had two friends try it to see if I was doing something wrong. Still no crushed ice. Breville claims that this blender can be used to chop or puree vegetables, but after the experience that I had with the ice, I can be sure that it won't be an effective kitchen appliance for anything other than blending liquids.It's too bad....I really hoped and expected this to be an exceptional kitchen appliance.
