Breville Wizz the Kitchen Wizz 16
VerifiedMPN: BFP810BSS3IAN11 review
I'm a huge fan of a cooking on line instructor who just before Black Friday had fun buying this food processor. For years I wanted to replace mine, it was time and since we have our wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks my husband was keen to make me happy! So we headed straight for Harvey Norman and found the Breville Wizz top of the range... and a wonderful sales assistant who gave us lots of information. It's a fascinating looking machine. I love Breville products and have several on our benchtop. So the guy at the loading bay put it in the boot of our car and we set off home to unpack. The first thing we noticed was the fantastic packing. Hugely complicated and nothing could possibly get damaged inside. Once it was sitting on the dining room table I could see how big and tall it all was. So I started exploring the options, no room on the bench so the only place would be in a corner cupboard almost on ground level. So we cleared out the contents and my husband positioned it and he went off to garden. I decided to lift it to the bench to explore. That's when I found out just how heavy it is. There was no way I could do it with out hurting my back and I plan on using it several times a week. From being over the moon to crashing and burning was no fun at all. I felt so depressed and went to my great husband and explained the problem. He simply said it has to go back, came inside and spent the next hour repacking in the exact same positions inside the double boxes. The following day I phoned Harvey Norman and explained the problem and they were happy to take it back. I met the same wonderful sales assistant and we went for a prowl through her department for a lighter processor which was also the best she could offer. I was under no obligation to buy then and there and they would have been happy to give me a refund, but I found a beauty! It's a Ninja Stealth IQ Kitchen System. It's now in the same cupboard with lots of space around it for other things and easily accessible. It looks a bit daunting and I might need a TAFE course to become an expert with it but I'm looking forward to making friends. It does have a small problem though. It has the worlds strongest suction caps underneath so it would never fly off any surface. The solution to this I found was to either put a place mat underneath or remove the the suction. I doubt it would ever move and I could place it a few inches from the edge of the bench. I'll find a way but to break the super strong suction could be dangerous to the machine. I'll write a review when I'm familiar with all its parts and let you know. If you decide to buy the Breville please ask to lift it from the floor if you don't have room on your bench. It really is a magnificent machine, but not for me. (Sorry Breville) I love all your other products.
