As I am fanatic about Breville , I bought this top of line blender in addition to my Vitamix, just so I can compare. I am specifically interested with the VAC Q gadget and it does make a significant difference and yield much smooth silky texture when I make green smoothie. Super happy with the purchase.
The only thing I wish to have, is a simplified lid that can be used when air tight is not required. The lid comes with package is a super high quality one. While it works with VAC Q to seal the jar, it is quite difficult to open or cover.  Oftenly I don't need an air tight jar so a simple, easy to use lid will be enough.
Hope Breville would consider release something like that as an accessory.
