Product Description

Ice floats. Kiwi fruit doesn't. How do you pull down what's on top, while whipping up what's below? Lumps have nowhere to hide. Unlike other blades, which trap pockets of ingredients under the blades (diagram a), the Hemisphere blade sweeps along the base of the bowl and pushes ingredients on the bottom to the top (diagram b). Central blades are designed to pull the ingredients on the top down to the bottom, creating a perfectly blended mixture. Click on image to view larger

Why the Breville Hemisphere Control Blender?

Every Breville product begins with a simple moment of brilliance. The Breville Hemisphere Control began with the observation that some blending ingredients float—and others don’t. How do you pull down what's on top, while whipping up what's below? Other blenders often blend unevenly, over-processing some ingredients and leaving lumps of others. The Breville Hemisphere Control Blender solves this problem with its innovative hemisphere blade system.

This is how the Breville Hemisphere Control stands apart: no matter what you put in it, it can consistently and evenly whip up the perfect blend.

Even blending, every time

Declared one of the best blenders of 2012 by a leading rater of kitchen products, the Breville Hemisphere Control uses an innovative design: extra wide stainless steel blades are contoured to sweep along the base of the jug and push ingredients up while central blades pull ingredients down.

It's no wonder this blender has been called the best of 2012: this sleek design minimizes food traps and eliminates the need to dig ingredients out from under the blades or mix up ingredients by hand. Five speeds (including snow, mix, blend, liquefy, and puree) are supplemented by pulse, ice crush, and smoothie buttons. These buttons are preprogrammed with varying speeds—alternating pulsing and blending—to move ingredients through the jug, so you don’t have to move ingredients around manually.

Versatile functionality

The Hemisphere Control combines the functionality of a powerful blender with some food processing tasks. It crushes and chops to turn ice into snow for velvety cocktails and also folds and aerates for creamy smoothies and soups. In addition, thanks to its innovative blade design and high torque motor, the Hemisphere Control can handle blending tasks more efficiently and with less noise.

Designed with the consumer in mind

The Hemisphere Control blender is both easy to use and easy to clean. An LCD timer, 5 different speeds and three additional task functions make creating the perfect blend as easy as pushing one button. The permanent blade system is a snap to clean: just put in a drop of detergent and blend with water to remove food remnants, and then put the entire jug in the dishwasher. In addition, it is constructed from the highest quality materials. Heavy duty blades are made of engineered surgical grade stainless steel that ensures the blades stay sharp for longer, while the sturdy base is made from die-cast stainless steel.

  1. Breville Assist lid: ring pull lid for easy removal
  2. Large 48 oz. (1.5L) Eastman Tritan copolyester jug with a 6-cup capacity: has unique dual ribs that continually pass ingredients onto the blades for well blended results, dishwasher safe

Customers like the quality of the food blender. They mention it's well made, sturdy, and effective at chopping up everything from ice to nuts.

4+ years of regular use and still going strong!

4+ years of regular use and still going strong!
After years of using several KitchenAid and Cuisinart models –– and being terribly disappointed in their poor performance and short lifespans –– I gave this one a try. It was recommended by Cooks Illustrated and their advice has been spot on with other purchases. I have now used this blender for 4.5 years and it has been a reliable performer and still operates as if brand new. I use it mostly for blended drinks and smoothies (heavy on ice) and for pureeing vegetables for soup. It does those things better than anything I have tried previously. The blender is also quiet enough that I can use it in the mornings without waking anyone and, during parties, no one has to scream over it or leave the room. I guess my average use is 3-4 times per week. It is super easy to clean: a quick rinse with hot water will do, but for stickier things, I just squeeze a drop of dishwashing liquid in, put on the lid and throw it on the base for 30 secs of blending. Follow that with a quick final rinse and that's that. Honestly, the blades remain sharp and the base has only one minor abrasion due to my leaving a corner exposed while in transit to Mexico in my luggage. Yes, I am that attached to it! I highly recommend it, especially for the price.

Reviewed in Canada on August 11, 2013
Two and a half years of heavy, almost daily, use and I still love it. Will buy this model if I ever need to replace it. It looks great and works like a dream! No issues at all. Only whish it was glass as I don't like plastic but it's worth even that trade off! See photo it looks as good as new, although dusty as I haven't used as much as I've been on hot oats kick this winter.

UPDATE: Now three months and I love it more each time I use it! Moved on to soups and sauces, but still have smoothies almost every day! Best small appliance purchase ever!

One month later and still loving it. I have moved beyond smoothies (still making them daily) and I have started making hummus, and other tasty treats from the recipe book. I love this blender...

I have read many reviews about this blender and most love but a few bashed it and I think they were biased from the start!

I'm going to touch on points that I couldn't find an answer for in other reviews.

So far so good! I love frozen fruit and yogurt smoothies with ice and it does this beautifully! For me this is the test; to evenly blend so many different textures with no effort on my part! The ice is evenly crushed, the auto program does this hands free in one minute... Probably less but I haven't interrupted it yet. The biggest partical in my drink when this it done are the strawberry seeds, which is amazing. I have never noticed strawberry seeds before, blackberry, raspberry but not strawberries... Usually the ice but all I'm noticing are strawberry seeds.

The machine is quiet... The motor is very robust and really processes everything quickly and evenly. A great vortex is created that really draws the stuff on top to the bottom. I'm almost making icecream and I don't have to stop, stir, bash or bang, or add extra liquid... Completely hands free and fun to look through the centre of the lid and watch it go! (I'm keeping the lid on! ;-) I think tourq might be more important than speed... None mention this aspect though!

It doesn't dance across the counter, so you can be comfortable in letting it run hands-free while it runs through the program. (a heavy base keeps it in place, but not cumbersome...) I use it as tidy up time.

Cleanup is a breeze. The main reason I went for this model was the one piece construction. I hated the gasket and locking rings of my old blender so much. If you didn't break it down every time food found its way in to all of these crevices. (I have severe hand weakness with pain so I couldn't always get it apart and back together again.) There is nothing to take apart or leak for that matter.

To clean: just wiz with warm soapy water. If you need to disinfect, it is dishwasher safe or soak with a little bleach (manufacturers suggestions) But so far so good! NOTHING to take apart!

Another funny thing is you get out of the blender everything you put in, no problem! The smooth rounded bottom doesn't collect any food around the blade and base, so I don't have to try a scrape out half of my smoothie from the bottom of it! This makes my dogs sad though because with my old blender I would add a little warm water to any last bits hanging on and pour it into their bowls... Lol

It should also be noted that the blades are turned by an all metal 12 point torx cog & socket assembly that attaches the blades to the motor; not plastic like many other blenders. This arrangement is a major bonus as this is where many blenders fail... I don't think it will ever strip or slip! My last blender died when a large icecube jammed in the blades twisting them and breaking some little plastic flaps that fit together to spin the blades... I'm not worried about that with this one. It says you can turn a whole tray of ice to snow in one minute... I don't need that much, but with global warming it's good to know ;-)

I haven't tried one of the green smoothies yet, I prefer to chew my veggies, lol. But after reading and watching so many reviews that bashed this blender because of its performance here, I'm going to try one just to see. The deciding factor for me were two reviews that pited it against many other "blenders", performing a variety of tasks (including kale, the death of most,) this blender was tops a few years running for one* and ranked top or very high in others. (Cooks Illustrated*, Popular Mechanics (subscriptions needed), and this one on Consumer Search sums it all up: [...]

If you have problems with hand strength or pain this will be the blender for you. Right from the design of the lid with the easy pull top ring, soft tight sealing lid(nothing to line up or twist), easy to open pass through in centre of lid, to the self aligning base to jar, drop on system that doesn't require any strength to put it on or take it off. (The base of the jar simply drops on; no locking it down. It aligns itself to the base and sits there, no worry though it is very secure and stable.) The touch pad is receptive, easy to select, and with many programs to choose from, makes it completely hands free. I haven't had to wipe the very easy to clean base as of yet because nothing leaks from the top or bottom! But if it should, they are well sealed and it will be a breeze!

I will update this review if I should find anything wrong with this blender but I have owned quite a few and used professional ones in the restaurant industry and from what I've seen so far and read about this blender I'm sure I have a great blender that will do the job for years to come ;-) I also have a few other appliances from Breville for several problem free years and have friends and family whom love and trust this brand as well!
