I've mostly used this blender to make Mexican foods (salsas from dried chilies & tomatillos, horchata with rice and almonds, etc.), and occasionally I make a smoothie or frozen drink.
This thing is powerful. It goes through ice and nuts with no issue, and the various functions such as "smoothie", "green smoothie", auto clean, etc. are great. It can make ice almost into snowball ice consistency.
At first I didn't think I'd like the pitcher part, because it's not glass, but it's actually very nice (and lightweight to handle). It cleans up well, and since I wipe it out & off after washing it doesn't get water spots - it's still nice and clear and clean looking. And, it's easy to read the measurements that are marked in red.
The auto clean function works *really* well. On rare occasion I'll still have to give the inside a quick wipe, but not often (only when I've used olive oil in it, and even then, the auto clean does the job 95% of the time). I've never put it in the dishwasher, so I can't speak to that. If you clean or at least rinse it out right away, the auto clean really eliminates any need to put it in a dishwasher.
It does sound like a jet engine taking off when it's doing it's auto clean, but that's fine with me. With regular use it's loud, but I've never used a quiet one, so it's a non-issue for me.
The lid can be difficult to remove because it really seats into the pitcher well. But, I've gotten used to it, and if I leverage my thumb upward against the lid handle while pulling up on it, it's easier. It's hard to to explain. Sometimes a bit of food residue will get under the big seal around the lid, as others have said, but I haven't had any problems getting it out. I'll run it under the faucet and just pull back a bit on the gasket. That usually gets any small particles right out.
I like that the blades are part of the pitcher. They don't come out, and aren't a separate piece like my old blender. I thought at first that might be a problem with cleaning, but it hasn't been. It's actually easy to get the edge of a dishcloth under the blades if you need to, plus, nothing much escapes the auto clean function.
If you plan to store this on your counter under a cabinet, or in a cabinet, take note of the height of it. I have standard height countertops & cabinets, and this fits on the counter under the cabinet just barely (with lid on).
I haven't bought a blender in years, and I'm glad I chose this one. I use it much more often than I thought I would. I've only had it about 6 months, so I can't say how well it will hold up over time.

Extremely Happy - Great Blender!
Breville makes excellent appliances and we've been pleased with them all. We primary make Smoothies and Iced Drinks and the two built-in automatic settings always renders consistent prefect results. The Breville blender has no problems pulverizing full ice cubes and it's a breeze to clean. So whether you like milkshakes, frappuccinos, or smoothies this won't disappoint. Every blender is going to be a little noisy pulverizing ice. I wish they offered a solid flat top option for even easier cleaning.I've read some of the reviews and don't foresee having any of these issues as long as you have got some common sense. When in doubt read the manual. This is the best blender you can buy in this price range the alternatives are several times more costly.
