Hi Lynn,
Check out Brevill’e site – they have the Singapore distributor listed:

hope that helps! 🙂
I could not find the Singapore distributor list from Breville site. Does anyone know where can I find this blender in Singapore?
Hi there, thank you for your informative post. Do you know anything about the voltages? Can I use them in SG if I were to buy the machines from amazon? Cheers, Chloe
Hi Chloe,
Yes, voltage will be an issue with shipping electronics from the US… hope that you still manage to find what you’re looking for! 🙂
Thanks for the detailed comparison! Been lusting after the Vitamix for so long but i really can’t afford it. Wait till i get my bonus maybe hehe. Anyway, i’m a regular smoothie drinker and ‘im using a 600W Philips blender which does the job quite efficiently. The blender works well on baby spinach, frozen mangoes and bananas which is good enough for me. Recently i have also made cashew nut milk with the blender, the milk is abit grainy though but still taste good. So for those who wants to make smoothie but can’t afford a Vitamix, just get a Philips blender and you are good to go.
Hi Jasmine! Thanks a million for sharing your experience! That’s super helpful!:)
My Philip blender 800watt used less than 6 months the blade parts worn out and juice leaks down to the motor base. cost $22 for replacement, no warranty for parts.
Hi! I am going nuts trying to get my hands on Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender but can’t seem to find any retailers that bring in this model series. I wonder if you have any idea where I can purchase this? Thank you 🙂
Hi Claire!
I’m not sure about the exact model you’re after, but I know that Crate & Barrel (in ION) and Balanced Living (http://www.balancedlivingasia.com/living-cafe-and-deli/) sell Vitamix blenders. Recently I saw them as well at Sia Huat (http://www.siahuat.com/)
Hope you find it! 🙂

Hi Militza, thank you so much for your reply! I think Vitamix Professional 750 series is the latest model that Vitamix has come out with. It has preset buttons unlike the older model which only has the variable speed. The container is shorter but wider so that it can fit under kitchen counters. Unfortunately, the distributors in Singapore doesn’t carry it but I have decided on getting Vitamix 5200 instead which is the next best option. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. 🙂
Hi Claire,
I hadn’t come across it yet… hope you enjoy the Vitamix 5200 – I’m sure you will. I use mine several times a day! 🙂 Let me know if you come up with any fun recipes using it 🙂
Between juicing and blending some prefer blending, it has quick preparation time and clean up only the jar. We use our Blendtec everyday. In today’s fast pace society, this luxury I can say is hard to come by and a good machine does this in a few minutes to make a super rich photo-nutrient drink!
Thanks for this review. I’m hoping to buy one of them. I’m wondering your thoughts on the heat produced by the high power (by Vitamix) and whether it would destroy the nutrients? Thanks.
Hi Jonathan –
It does warm up the food, but not to high temperatures at all – the nutrients would definitely still be intact!
Hi I was inspired by your blog to finally invest in a vitamix. I’ve had mine for less than a month and already I’ve noticed scratches inside the container. I’m wondering if you have also had the same experience? Should I be worried about consuming any scratched off plastics?
Thanks!
Btw I only followed vitamix recipes.
Hi Leelin! I’ve not encountered that before… I would go back to the shop and see about getting a replacement container. It’s probably not a big problem – but for such a big investment, you shouldn’t have to feel worried! 🙂
let me know what happens!
I have read your helpful review of blenders and am trying to find the Breville Hemisphere but the Breville website does not list locations where it is sold in Singapore — it only says that this feature is coming soon for Singapore. I am new to Singapore and still unfamiliar with the shops and cannot seem to locate who is selling it. Can you tell me which stores are selling the Breville unit here in Singapore?
Hi Michelle,
I am interested at the Breville Hemisphere model as well. I did some research on the internet & Breville’s website. I have found out that this model does not support Singapore residential voltage, i.e. 220~230V 50Hz. You may need to get a converter for that to operate in Singapore
I doubt that Militza did has try this blender in Singapore coz it definitely would not work at all.
Breville blender at Takashimaya and Metro Centrepoint, where I saw it at $485
Thanks Anne! I’m contemplating a housewarming or wedding gift from some good friends.
Thanks Anne!! That’s really an useful information for me. Still have not give up on this Breville blender. Will plan a trip to Taka these two days. 🙂
Hi Militza! Have you heard about Optimum High Speed blenders? They’re touted to be a more affordable substitute for Vitamix and Blendtec – able to pulverize fruits/veg, make nut butters and hot soups but only at half the price. Best of all, they’re easily available in SG (http://www.froothie.sg/store/froothie-blenders). Not sure if you have any views on this? I’ve been lusting after a professional blender for the longest time, so was quite excited to come across this blender. Still debating whether to take the plunge though!
I prefer the blender by Karmin, is amazing ♥
Hi, can you kindly advice where can I buy blender by Karmin in Singapore? Appreciate thanks
Thanks, very helpful.
Thanks
My Favorite is the blender by Karmin 🙂
