Breville blender super q8/12/2023 ![]() You just can’t put the blender base and vacuum attachment in the dishwasher, but those just need to be wiped down periodically. But, for those who like to use the dishwasher to clean their gadgets, the blender jug, the personal blender cup, tamper, scraper, and the lids are all dishwasher safe. The blender’s clean cycle actually works well. The Super Q is so incredibly easy to clean. The Instant Pot Ace is a great example of this, as cooked-on food gets stuck on the bottom metal portion of the blender, and it’s almost impossible to get it clean. Easy to Clean and Dishwasher Safeįor me, something that can take a blender from luxury to lacking is when it’s really difficult to clean. As long as you put the right proportions in, it blends in one press, and you rarely (if ever) even need to use the tamper or side scraper tools. One of the more annoying things about a blender is when you have to run a program multiple times to get it to fully blend your ingredients. Although the blender doesn’t cook like an appliance that uses a traditional heating element, it can take room temperature ingredients and blend them at high speed into a hot soup. The soup button lets you make a hot soup out of room temperature ingredients. It also has a dial, so you can manually control the speed. The Super Q has 9 buttons: On/Off, Pause/Cancel, Pulse/Ice Crush, Smoothie, Green Smoothie, Frozen Dessert, Soup, Clean, and Timer. It’s a high tech kitchen gadget, but not so much that you need to take a class to learn how to use it. The Super Q is exceptionally powerful and quiet during operation, but it’s also not overly complicated. However, it won’t do much for your flours, and you shouldn’t use it when making dairy smoothies, dough, or other recipes that benefit from air bubbles. The vac attachment is good for fruit smoothies, veggie smoothies, veggie dips, salsa, and purées. ![]() The taste was much more intense when I used the Vac Q attachment, and I could taste each flavor individually. Using the Vac Q pump did make a very noticeable difference, and I could smell the fresh spinach and blueberry as soon as I opened the blender. I placed the ingredients in the blender, attached the Vac Q to remove the air, removed the Vac Q, and then pressed ‘smoothie.’ After blending, I pressed the button on top of the blender to release the suction, as a seal forms and you can’t open the blender until you release the seal. I used the Vac Q attachment to make a spinach and blueberry smoothie. The absence of air bubbles reduces oxidation, which is supposed to make your veggie dips and smoothies taste better, and have more vibrant color and better texture. The Vac Q sucks the air out of the blender and prevents air bubbles from building up during blending. ![]() The Super Q BBL920 combines with a Vac Q pump attachment, which is optional when you purchase the blender. ![]() Vac Q = Fresher Foods Erika Rawes/Digital Trends It boasts an 1800 watt motor, and it reaches speeds of up to 186 miles per hour. I put the lid on, pressed the ‘smoothie’ button, and I watched the machine quietly pulverize the ingredients into a silky smooth beverage in seconds. I chucked some plain Greek yogurt into the blender along with some ice, frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries, and fresh banana chunks. The first thing I made in the Super Q was a strawberry, banana, and blueberry smoothie. Smoothie Superhero Erika Rawes/Digital Trends The power cord even retracts into the blender base, which makes the blender look neater and makes storage a bit easier. The parts go together very intuitively and overall, this is an incredibly straightforward machine. But, the instructions were really simple, and I had the Super Q setup and ready to go within 10 minutes. Another thing that immediately turned my head was the 10-year limited warranty, considering most kitchen gadgets come with a one-year or a two-year limited warranty at best.īecause the Super Q has decent of parts and accessories, I thought I might be dealing with an hour or two of reading instructions. It looks expensive, like a cookbook you’d purchase from a bookstore as opposed to a recipe guide you’d find in a blender box. In addition, I found the Vac Q pump (optional extra) with four included AA batteries, user guides, and an elegant, hard cover recipe book. The tamper tool weighs about a half of a pound, and I could feel its sturdy and solid construction. When I opened the box, I found the heavy stainless steel blender base, the large (68-ounce) BPA-free and shatter-proof blender jug, the lid with an inner measuring cup, a travel blending cup and lid, and a high-quality tamper and scraper tool. I was surprised to see the box for the Super Q blender was exceptional large compared to other blenders I’ve used. ![]()
