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.

kitchenaid blender coupling ka Free Significant Guide

This was fine it works great. The tough part was removing the old one. Apparently the part is made from softer metal then the post and threads on the post they are attached to. So basically you pry off and destroy the old coupler without worrying about the threads on the post of the blender. It was a little messy but the threads on blender post weren’t hurt. Also counter-intuitive was screwing the new part on the threads of the post. There was no way to stop the post from spinning so you just screw it on lightly. Apparently it tightens up during use because the direction of travel of coupler screws it on tight.

kitchen-blenders-breville Tips And Info On  breville icon blender

kitchenaid blender 5 Important Info

After I tried holding the spindle, blocking the motor blades–all with no success, I found these instructions. Took 2 knocks and 10 seconds to remove the coupling!…

(1) Note that the coupling (the round part with teeth) is threaded to the blender motor in reverse to a standard threading. So it screws off just like a bottle top, but in a clockwise direction.

(2) place the blender base on a tabletop, facing you, base down/coupling up. You should probably unplug it.

(3) take a punch or a flathead screwdriver, and place it against one of the coupling teeth that is furtherest away from you.

(4) strike the back of the screwdriver with a small hammer or maillot. The result will spin coupling clockwise. It may take several tries, but the coupling will eventually spin clockwise faster than the motor, and it will begin to unthread.

(5) unscrew the old coupling, and screw the new coupling into place (counterclockwise). Note that the new coupling will tighten itself every time you use your blender, so no need to worry about tightening it too much.

(6) Make a smoothie to celebrate your success!

cuisinart blender 7 Free Assistive Information

I thought I was going to have to throw out this blender since I couldn’t find this part anywhere on Cuisinart’s site, that is until I found it here on Amazon! This part took UNDER 5 minutes to replace.

Remove 3 screws on the bottom of the blender
Pull off cover
Use a screwdriver to keep the motor’s shaft from spinning
On the other side, use a wrench, grab and unscrew the brass ring in a clockwise motion (It’s reverse threaded)
Screw on new replacement blade driver (Counter-clockwise to tighten)
Put blender cover back on
Reinstall the 3 screws on the bottom of the blender
You’re done!

I’m serious when I say that the whole process took me about 3 minutes.

REALLY beats having to buy a new blender.
