I broke my blender! It was part of a Breville Super Wizz Duo & unfortunately Breville say it can't be replaced with a spare

So - please recommend me a good heavy duty blender, one that will handle ice. Should I get a stand alone blender or one that has interchangable blender & food processor with one base? The remaining food processor on the Duo still works (but for how long?) & it takes up a lot of bench space.

If you really love it, it would be worth asking on your local freecycle if anyone has the bit you need.

Quite like my kenwood FP it has a spice grinder and blender attachment too, but I've never blitzed ice.

I got a new FP recently - others suggested a Kitchen Wizz Pro (I think!) but it was just huge. I ended up getting a Sunbeam which fits in my cupboard and was about $120 compared to 4-5 hundred for the aforementioned.

The Sunbeam does come as a combined unit too, which I considered, but I was in the opposite boat to you - still have a separate blender for the ice.

I had the kitchenaid food processor - what a great machine - durable, strong, reliable.
Then I sold it and got a thermomix, now that is love!!!

I read that as 'I need a new bladder'........

I was about to reply, OMG so do I!

Dont get a Kenwood. My only advice. I would get a Thermomix if I was going to get a new one.

I just came in to ask the same question! So I wont start a new thread. Im also looking at blenders. i make lots of smoothies and sometimes use ice. I currently just use a stick mixer one but it struggles with the ice. I'm after a stand alone too, (dont need the food processor), but want to spend under $100. So if anyone has any recommendations in that price range I'd love to hear it.

Ah yes but the cost!!! No, just a blender for now.
