  Good Points: Removeable blades

  
  

  Bad Points: Motor burnt out in less than 12 months.

  
  

  General comments: I thought the Breville HB4 was a nice hand blender. The blades can be removed for cleaning, the speed of the motor is adjustable etc etc. just what I was looking for in a hand blender. Unfortunately after about 8 months use the motor stopped working. I suspect that the brushes on the motor have worn down (Motor stuttered a few times and then stopped - never to restart) but in order to confirm I would have to break the unit open. While it was running it was fine and I thought I had actually bought a quality appliance for once. Pity. I had also (of course!) lost the blasted receipt from Currys so can't even take it back to exchange.
  
  I would suggest that Breville redesign this unit with a more durable motor and instead of glueing it, use screws to put it together so that it can be repaired.
  
  Until they do that I cannot recommend anyone to buy this product.
  
  PS: I'll hang on to it for the time being and search for the receipt. IF I find it, and IF they exchange it I'll let y'all know.

  After only 2 months the top of my Breville HB4 blender came off and there is no way of fixing it. Am waiting to hear from Breville. Very poor design, I'm not buying anything from Breville again.

  I like how much this Breville HB4 does in my kitchen and how little room it takes up in storage. Very quick and efficient, neat ,and does everything I need in one blender. Easy to clean.

  The Breville HB4 is a poor product - it is heavy to handle; after 3 times using it. It has now broken. Clumpsy attachments, I find it rather hard to clean; the blades are hard to remove. Breville, please take this product off the market! And give my money back.

  Broke after 3 times using it! The Breville HB4 was a gift in X'mas 2007 and it has not even been 12 months and it has broken. While cleaning or removing the blades it is heavy and clumpsy.
  Please give me my money back!

  When my Breville HB4 worked, it was ok. But the blender attachment has now fell apart, and i can't get through on their helpline, it is only 6 month old, would not expect this from a £40 product, and well known brand.

  Did not last for very many uses at all, now the motor stutters after a few seconds use - suspect that the motor winding is on the verge of burning out. It wasn't expensive but as I will have to replace it prematurely - it was most definitely not value for money.

  After 3 uses the Breville HB4 mixer bowl split across the base. On contacting customer services it turns out that I will have to purchase a replacement. Not the sort of thing I expect from a product less that 6 months old. And from an established brand. I will not buy anything else from Breville due to their poor, so called, customer services

  I wouldn't buy another Breville product, given their customer service. If you want a nice hand blender, I recommend the Dualit hand blender - nice hand hold, good selection of attachments, good performance, easy to use.

  The Breville HB4 hand blender was good when it didn't fall apart. Would not recommend. Broke within one year.
