Doesn’t work wth the Osterizer Galaxie. If I had bought the bottom cap this product might have worked. Made in Mexico.

Like others, mine smells. And, after one year, the impeller leaks, rendering it worthless. First I thought it was the gasket, but quickly realized that it was leaking through the shaft. Checked out Cuisinart site, and new one only costs $10….oops, did I mention that they also want $5.95 in shipping. Almost 17% of the cost of a new one. Time to find a decent blender.

Bought this blender on the Cooks Illustrated recommendation and it is a good blender with a solid glass jar. The rubber gasket between the jar and the blade is almost clear and I lost mine. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the $1.99 gasket would cost over $20 to replace! The Kalorik website only handles minimum of $10 orders so 6 gaskets are the minimum purchase. I decided on an additional blade ($9.99) and 2 gaskets. Shipping for that is $10.85. So it is costing me $24.82 for the $1.99 gasket.

Moral of the story - HOLD ONTO YOUR GASKET!

Maybe I should buy the 6 and sell the other 5 through Amazon. Hmmm.

Do yourself a favor and have an extra one of these (with the gasket) handy, because one ice cube too many and these things self destruct. On my last one the plastic bottom piece that connects to the drive piece on the motor stripped itself and spun freely. Boo to Cuisinart for putting such a shoddy part on what otherwise would be a great blender.

We’ve had the Ikon for a couple of years. At first I was in love with it. It’s powerful and looks good.

However, the design flaw is in how hard it is to clean. Taking the base on and off is not that hard, albeit inconvenient.

But there are parts (where thick liquid leaks in around the bottom of the jar) that don’t come off, unless perhaps with screwdriver? There are 4 tiny screws there, but for godsake, do you have to take the entire thing apart with a screwdriver to get it clean? Major problem.

It just doesn’t seem all that hygienic to have old food stuck there. I have to remove the base for every use (and the solid pitcher is heavy for people like me with spinal issues - that would be a plus if i was 20 years younger before injury). Removing it is a bit of a hassle (if it’s tight there is a tool that comes with the blender) but that’s not what I’m complaining about.

The problem is EVEN WHEN YOU REMOVE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM MECHANISM (the part containing the blades and rubber gasket)and wash everything out, you can see the smoothie/soup/puree stuck in parts where the bottom doesn’t come off, between the glass and that big silver base of the pitcher. I have tried soaking it in the sink, running through the dishwasher, but this food is just in there. That seems unhygienic.

If it didn’t have this problem, I would love it. It’s a good machine. But why so difficult to clean? Not worth it. If they fixed this cleaning issue, I’d buy another Ikon. But as-is, I’m tired of trying to get it clean. Such a shame.

Last year I bought the newer big version (big plastic pitcher) and it had the same problem, so I returned it. Breville, have a home cook inspect your designs!

So to recap - no problems with durability or power, well-made with the exception of oops! - someone forgot that a blender needs to be cleaned. And the pitcher is super-heavy, so disabled/injured users take note.

We spent a lot of money on this blender thinking that it would be worth it, but it was NOT. It leaked all the time, the rubber gasket got moldy (no matter how much we washed it), and eventually the leak corroded the outside bottom part of the unit and rusted the bottom part of the blade assembly. Because the unit is out of warranty Breville was no help. I emailed them and they referred me to their customer service number and warned me that it would be quite a long wait on hold. Gee, I wonder why. Don’t buy this blender it will self destruct right after the warranty is up. All of the positive review here are no doubt posted by happy Breville employees.

I live in the middle of nowhere and do appeciate being able to purchase something like this from amazon, but considering what this is, a rubber gasket, the shipping costs were outrageous. A gasket doesn’t need a padded envelope; wrap it in a single sheet of paper and stick it in a letter size envelope with a .42 stamp for gosh sakes!

Please do not buy this blender unless you want to waste your money on a total piece of junk. I paid almost $40 for this thing. It seemed okay for the first couple of weeks, but then the cutting assembly became increasingly difficult to unscrew from the base. The cutting assembly is wide compared to other blenders. I have a hard time gripping it. The gasket is not very wide. Frequently I screw the cutting assembly on as tight as I can get it and the blender still leaks. After 3 or 4 times of spending an extra 10 minutes cleaning the floors and counters when all I wanted to do was make a smoothie, I have now learned to fill up the blender with a little water first in the sink and see if it leaks before putting anything else in it. I wrote to Hamilton Beach about my problems with this blender. They would not give me a refund on it but sent me a new cutting assembly because they thought something might be wrong with the threads on the old one. It didn’t help; the blender still leaks and is difficult to open. Bottom line: Don’t waste your money on this product. This is the only Hamilton Beach appliance I have ever bought and it will be the last.

Built in gasket does much better than the original and also better designed blade assembly mixes food at the bottom much better(no dead spots).
