Amazon.com Review
Designed for the purpose of blending fast, nutritious smoothies, the Smoothie Elite does the job better than an ordinary blender and is easy to operate. The 56-ounce jar has measuring marks for adding just enough fruit, yogurt, and protein powder (or whatever you prefer in your smoothie) for either two or four servings. Running at 500 watts, the pulse-power motor blends at three different speeds--mix, smooth, and pulse--letting you control the consistency of your drink. The jar's shape pulls ingredients down to the center blade, ensuring that even larger foods mix evenly. Additionally, a unique stir stick in the center of the Smoothie Elite's jar breaks up air pockets during blending for more efficient mixing. This smoothie maker even has a special heavy-duty ice-crushing blade, so frozen drinks are blended into a consistent texture. A dispenser valve on the front of the unit eliminates spills so you can continuously mix and serve without a mess. This machine is an inexpensive alternative to ordering daily smoothies at a juice bar. It measures 8 by 9 by 17-1/4 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Instructions and a recipe book are included. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Good for how I use it. August 26, 2008

A friend of mine introduced me to this blender and I really enjoyed it. I do not make many smoothies but this blender does make great daiquiries and milk shakes.
 PIECE OF JUNK! July 28, 2008

I only used this a couple times before the handle on the pour spout broke off. Then I started finding small pieces of plastic in my smoothies - the base was starting to shred! So I just threw it in the trash. I would NOT recommend this item!

This unit is difficult to clean, mostly because of the ridiculous pour spout. It really serves no purpose other than making things difficult. I find it quite easy to lift the jar and pour the contents as you would with a gallon of milk or any beverage. Also, the plastic base that attaches to the jar absorbs the smell of everything you blend and cant start to smell foul after only a few uses. I received this item as a gift but if I were in the market for a smoothie maker I would go for a regular blender with no pour spout and one that's made with better materials. Probably a Waring blender or something of the sort.

I've been through 2 of these BTB smoothie makers. The last one left me with a mess of ingredients in the pitcher....and no smoothie. Spend a little morey and get a durable machine!

don't buy it. this thing fell apart after two uses. the motor started smoking and then it leaked. we did not abuse it, just mixed together a banana, some yogurt and a few strawberries with non-fat milk. it certainly should have handled these ingredients quite easily. very disapointed in the quality. we threw it out and bought a real one.
