About this product
If you want an appliance that handles smoothies and food prep without crowding your kitchen, the Breville VBL253 Blend Active Compact Food Processor delivers. With a 350W motor and stainless steel blades, it chops vegetables, blends fruit, and crushes ice in seconds for fresh drinks or quick prep. Switch between the 450ml food processor bowl for chopping or mixing dips and the 600ml sports bottle for smoothies and shakes on the go. Compact enough to tuck away or keep on the worktop, it's a versatile, space-saving kitchen helper.
The stainless steel blades deliver consistent results whether you're grinding nuts, pureeing soup, or blending a post-workout shake, and the safety interlock system means it won't run unless properly assembled. With just 1 speed setting, it keeps things simple and fuss-free. Both attachments are easy to swap out and clean, so you spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your food. Backed by a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee, it's a practical, space-saving kitchen helper that handles everyday blending and chopping with ease.

Very Good and compact blender - does exactly what it should and very durable

Decent small food processor
It's a decent food processor for small jobs, but it tends to accumulate denser elements at the bottom instead of mixing everything thoroughly. For example, I had to manually nudge the flour into the butter for a dough recipe, which isn't super convenient given that the blades are on the lid and you have to fully remove the container to do this.

Decent enough blender at a fair price.
Decent enough blender at a price that won't break the bank. Does what it says on the tin. Bought with the care and protect insurance so that if it goes wrong we can get it easily replaced.

Hello Chrissy,
I can advise the following for the Breville VBL253 Blend Active Blender Compact Food Processor:
This isn't fully dishwasher safe.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi Becky,
Breville VBL253 Blend Active is not designed for blending hot foods or making soup. Adding hot ingredients can create pressure inside the bottle, which may cause leaks or even damage the appliance. For safety and best results, please allow foods to cool before blending. If you’re looking to make soups, we recommend using a blender specifically designed for hot liquids.
Hi Si - Powerful 350W motor blends, chops, purées and grinds ingredients (nuts) in seconds; angled stainless steel blades are suitable for crushing ice.
Hi there!
We would like to inform you that the VBL253-01 includes two blade attachments: one is designed for use with the chopping bowl, and the other is designed for use with the bottle. If you have any other questions, please contact us via website: https://www.breville.co.uk... or via phone 0800 028 7154. We are open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Hi, Breville VBL253 blender is a compact personal blender designed primarily for smoothies, shakes, and soft-ingredient blending. Nut butter requires a high-powered motor and sustained blending time so it will not be suitable for this type of food.
Yes
Hi Sara,
The Breville VBL253 Blend Active Blender Compact Food Processor will blend fruit and vegetables.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi!
If you clean the appliance right after blending, the colour of the plastic should not change.
I do hope you find this information helpful.
Hi,
Kindly note that there is a food processor blade in the unit as well as an additional blade assembly for smoothies and milk shakes.
Hello there,
The answer is yes. Nonetheless, please mind that ingredients as well as a liquid itself must be cold. I hope I have managed to resolve your doubts.
Hi Arjith
The Breville VBL253 Blend Active Blender Compact Food Processor runs off the mains electricity supply.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
