Bottom seal weakness – Decent blender when new, but within a year the seal inside the blade mechanisms wears, allowing a fair bit of free play of the blade assembly up and down and also leaking. Bought a second one on sale as it was cheaper than a replacement part, but had the same problem after a year. Impossible to then pull the blade assembly apart, as the… Read more
stainless bolts had seized, resulting in me breaking the nut off on both units. A reall shame that poor design in the seal area let down the whole thing. Unfortunately, not to mention the expense, had to put our two units in the recycle bin and look for something different.
Blender May Be Unsafe – The blender initially worked very well. We used it infrequently, maybe once or twice a fortnight, to make smoothies with bananas & berries. However, recently it started to leak and then a fragment of metal (photos below) appeared in the smoothie! Needless to say, we stopped using the blender. The incident has been reported to Breville Australia. … Read more
SAFETY WARNING - IF YOUR BLENDER STARTS LEAKING IT MEANS THE BEARING SECTION IS DETERIORATING AND THE BLENDER IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED.
I love it except... It leaks! – I've owned this for just one year and three weeks and within the last month the blade attachment has started leaking. At first the leak was very small and annoying. Now I can't use it without liquid leaking everywhere all over the base when I use it. Prior to this it blended really nicely and made veg smoothies and protein shakes smooth and… Read more
creamy. But this fault (which is seemingly known to Breville and they won't fix it) means it a terrible product!
I got bought a stainless steel milling / grinding container as well, but the plastic on that (where it connects to the blade base) has cracked! So if you put any liquid in this too (or ice) it also ads another place to leak!
If you're still interested, it requires grip strength to use (not a problem for me) because you need to twist the whole jar on the base to turn it on. You'll also find that it can be a bit difficult to get the blade attachment off the jar after use. The blade attachment is a bid fiddly to clean because whatever you blend gets all through the threads. As much as the blade attachment is dishwasher safe, because the design has no drainage when upside down, the underside of the blade attachment just fills up with dirty dishwasher water. Best handwashed.
Makes good dips though.
Based on the cost, i would have expected much better longevity from this.
In-depth reviews
It is one of the better to go blenders out there – Breville Boss to Go Plus BPB620 – review It is one of the better to go blenders out there I paid $149 at Retravision positives metal gears tritan cups wide mouth opening on the to go lid The twist on blade and lids instead of screw on well designed blade system overall good quality build and finish negatives needs a 1 to 1.3 … Read more
liter cup (meet in the middle 1.2 liters would be good)
a little noisy (to be expected with most blenders)
more power scotty
the rpms are a little disappointing
I emailed breville, below are the rpms they emailed me
would have been nice to see the rpms around 35,000 or more
Setting.................................................Speed (RPM)
ON, free load.......................................20500-22500
ON, 650mL water using Large cup.....10750 – 12000
I would recommend this to go blender
there are cheaper options like the
NutriBullet Pro 900W 5-Piece - $77
with plenty of spares on ebay
I would be happy if breville made a bigger cup 1.2liter
and also it had more power for faster rpm`s
it would be close to the perfect to go blender then.
Update 27-sep-2018
I have returned my to go blender for a full refund
the cup is too small, a larger cup option would be good - 1200mil
and it is lacking power, not enough rpm`s
Take off 2 stars
Can't imagine life without it! – I did extensive research on buying a personal blender and the Breville, came in trumps especially for the price which came in at $149. Main drivers for me were.. 1. Metal gearing, (Bullets and Ninja's use plastic gearing) these things spin at very high revolutions, so it was important to me the motor and gearing had longevity in mind. 2. Build… Read more
quality & design - the cups are of excellent quality. This and sturdy with sip-enable edges. Smart cable tidy under the device, spill design features, and also safety features are excellent E.g. the blade wont spin unless there is a cup attached to it. 3. Price. Based on 1 and 2, it blew the Bullets and NInja's out of the water. The other closest to the Breville's quality is the Vitamix S30 but comes in at $400-500. 4. The blend quality is excellent, although not necessarily the best. It's important you do run it for 60sec. Sometimes I run the device for only 20-30sec because I use it early in the morning, and the additional 40sec makes a massive difference.
It now gets daily use and we feel better and healthier as a result. Don't hesitate - get this guy ASAP.
Not quite 5 stars but comes close! – I purchased this (the brushed stainless steel model) from Myer several months ago after recommendation from one of the Sales Assistants who apparently owns one also. I have used it literally daily since then and have for the most part been very pleased with it. Pros: as a blender, it definitely does the job! Whether using it to whip up a… Read more
protein-powder fruit smoothie or a combo jumbo juice, the ‘Boss’ really does a fabulous job of liquifying all the ingredients I add! The brushed stainless steel is easy to keep clean and the tumblers that come with it are really solid and wash up nicely also. I ended up purchasing a couple more of the tumblers recently from Myer just to ensure I always have a clean one on hand!
Price wise I’m not sure I would pay RRP $299.95 but definitely worth the investment when buying during home appliance promo/discount periods!
Cons: to blend, you screw the black ‘lid’ with the blades onto your tumbler and then turn it upside down, place it one the motor and twist to liquify. This ‘twisting’ to start and stop the blending - and then when you’re finished, removing the lid/blades from the tumbler - isn’t easy on the wrist. I personally struggle with the effort required sometimes as I don’t have great strength in my hands and I do wonder how someone with wrist pain or arthritic concerns (like my own Mum) would go using this.
Also, worth noting that my lid started to leak through the blade pin - nothing to do with the tumbler being over-filled or not being sealed correctly when the blades lid was attached to the tumbler - and when I contacted Breville directly to discuss I spoke to a lovely guy who said he would send me out a replacement lid straight away and I received it within 3 days from that call. Great customer service!
Positive reviews
Great for everyday use – Purchased approximately 9 months ago from Myer. We use this multiple times throughout the day and so far the only issue is at times the blade attachment (base) tightens to the cup when blending and takes some force to undo. Only used once with ice as it sounded like the motor was about to blow. Love that it’s a simple twist to turn on and off. Easy to clean with no rubber parts to accumulate grime Show details
Great blender that I use every day! – We bought this about a year ago and we’re a bit worried after reading a couple of the reviews. But we pretty much have used it every morning to make smoothies and it hasn’t missed a beat. A couple of times have had a hard time getting the lid open but otherwise no problems (touch wood) Love it. Show details
Works well – The blender manages to get everything really fine in a short time. This sounds like it is easy, but you actually can tell the difference in taste. It can handle ice and other frozen items, provided there is enough liquid. Show details
Negative reviews
bad design – Blade attachment got stuck with spice jar and couldn't open it since then. can't use rest of the machine now since do not have blades. Apparently, few other people had similar issue with this machine. Contacted Breville but no response so seems like they don't care once the product is sold. This is my second bad experience with breville. Show details
Sensibly discontinued – I'd have experienced better value just buying smoothies - i certainly didn't get my monies worth. Intention was to blend more regularly but the thing is loud.. PRO +Looks 10/10 +Capacity and accessories +Ease of use (not in practice) +Well packed and neat recipes CON -Quality 4/10 -Difficult to cap/uncap -Leaking from blade after maybe 50… Read more
uses in 2 years.. -Loud (for a blender even) -$299* for inspiring rage -12 month warranty -Waste of resources
Still better than sunbeam products which isn't saying much - faith lost in the Breville brand.
Great blender but hearing protection needed!! – The blender does the task well in creating smoothies and blending. But, at 101 decibels beside the motor and 97 decibels where your ears are whilst using the machine, 1/2 a meter from the motor, Hearing protection is a must, or run the risk at damaging your hearing. The volume the machine runs at isn’t a good thing for the kitchen. A Sound decibel… Read more
reader was used to obtain the stats. Noise cancelling headphones are used whilst blending to prevent damaging my hearing. Wondering what the QA/QC process was for Breville during the manufacturing process.

Newish blender, but leaking! – Hi, We bought our Blender just over a year ago from Westfield Miranda, when my son was home sick with Glandular Fever - that's how I remember the date! It worked well for about a year, but it now leaking from the base and getting worse every day. See photos. Show details
Poor quality and service – Base/blender piece cracked within months of use. Not not use able as it leaks. Contacted breville and they offered me the privilege of buying a replacement piece for $71. Recommend avoiding this product. Show details
Mine was good until the base stuck – Purchased from good guys just under two years ago. Intermittent use only. Made mango smoothie today and no matter how hard I tried the base would not come off. Seems to be common fault. Not good enough given cost and quality of the rest of the unit. UPDATED 23 September. Happy again. Breville customer service super helpful and a new blade… Read more
assembly and cup on its way free of charge even though out of warranty as was a known fault which has since been fixed.
Buyer beware – Received this blender as a gift last Christmas and now it is faulty. That's right, less than 2 months old. I have noted that other reviewers have had the same problem where you could not turn the blade base/container past the alignment arrows to start the motor. When it worked it did a good job but becoming faulty within such a short time is unacceptable. I am very disappointed in this product. Show details
Even better than expected! – This blender makes amazing smoothies and handles ice with ease. Even works well for grinding spices. We use all the time to make "healthy" icecream by blending frozen banana and fruit. Only negative is it is quite loud, but since it is really efficient this isn't really an issue. Quick and easy clean up also. Show details
So good, I would never use anything else – Easy to use and clean, very powerful. Much better than other similar products in the market. Use it everyday, extremely durable, effective and fast. BPA free. The smaller blender is so good, and can do a lot when you live in an indian household, can blend your own masalas. Show details
Fabulous – Bought this blender 3 months ago in UK. Works great. Make sure you don’t overfill it (ie only go up to max line) and never for more than 60 sec at a time and it works perfectly and there is no problem unscrewing cup. Astonished at how well it blends whole flax seeds when in smoothies! awesome. Show details
Was good to start and then – Blends fantastically and loved it for the first 10 months, until the containers (or the blending screw on top) stopped fitting. None of the cups fit on the screw on lid which has now made the whole machine totally useless. All customer service could recommend is buying new cups WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE! what a waste of money. Would not recommend. Show details
A Disaster – I used my Breville Boss to Go about 4 times and have not been able to use it since. The base does not click in sufficiently to engage the motor. I took it back to the store where they would do nothing. I wasn't aware of the warranty and now it has been sitting on my counter for 2 years. What can I do? Show details

Great, until – Like, it seems, many others (wish I'd checked beforehand) my Boss is not even two months old and the blade base started cracking and pieces falling off, making it unusable :( It's not even had heavy use, at most 1 easy shake per day. Hopefully this is, at least, covered by warranty. Show details
Make Smooth Juice – Use it mainly for fruit and veg, I haven't tried the grinder. Juice and smoothies are smooth, no solids. My wife use it for extracting the green from spinach for food coloring. Operation is easy and safe, cleaning is too because all cups are dishwasher safe. It is solid built making it quite heavy (and expensive). Still smaller than boxy juicer it replaced. Show details
Best friend in my kitchen – Best nutrition blender ever. Plus an all rounder in my kitchen. Used from smoothies to sauces to dry nuts, poppy seeds ( notoriously hard to grind due to the tiny size, but the boss to go does it very well), to even ginger garlic paste. I have been using it for over a year now with no issues at all. The lids provided with the tumblers are very… Read more
handy when making a smoothie to go.
Bing Lee's customer service is exceptional too. The first blades i received with the boss to go were not good quality (some issue with the material used and Breville was in the process of fixing this) and they broke in a few days. Bing Lee replaced them immediately for no extra cost.
blender review – I have now been using this blender now for 2 weeks highly recommened this blender is not too loud and takes a couple seonds for everyting blend this price is very affordable - i am very very happy with this product Show details
Loving it – I was having on eye in this blender for a long time and finally JB hifi got this on sale at $129 so I bought this without a second thought and I am loving it. It blends perfect smoothies and shakes. I like how the blades are not sharp and the motor is metal unlike other blenders. This blender is perfect for the personal use. I don't think you want… Read more
to get this if you are using it for a big family as it docent have a big jug but as the name suggest "Boss to go", it really is to go blender. Bit noisy like all the other powerful blenders so no complain.
Better than Nutribullet – After looking at lots of blenders, I found this one best. No plastic impeller to break. The warranty is great. Price wise, if you look around Myer have them on sale for $99.00 at times. I use mine every day. Show details
Good product. Use it often – Great after sales service. Need to be super careful not to go over max level mark. Bit hard to turn lid with blades if you have arthritic fingers. If you blend for too long it heats the contents inside which is bizarre. Show details
Stoped working just after the one year warranty expired it was – stop working on 26 July 2018and purchased on 17July 2017just after the warranty expired. And the best part is I haven’t even used it much as I was overseas for 7 months. So the product was only used for 5 months and it’s mixing lead got broken. You pay so much amount of money for their products and you can’t even use it to pay off. Terrible product. Not a happy customer and will never buy their products again. Show details
Love This Blender! – This is a really great take on the nutribullet type personal blender! We can blitzt up protein drinks, smoothies, banana milkshakes and then chill them in the fridge for the day, The jug becomes the drink bottle so its super handt. It has enough power to get the job done and is easy to clean. Show details
Great for smoothies – Before upgrading to the Breville Boss I tried the Nutri Bullet and Nutri Ninja. Both failed and were returned to the store. Choose the Breville 3rd time round as it had a superior method of connecting the cups to the motor. I use it every day with a mix of ice, frozen fruits and nuts - so far it's doing great. Update Mar 2019. We've now had… Read more
our Breville Boss for over 12 months. It's averaged around 10 smoothies per week and has never missed a beep. Excellent product!!
