5 out of 5 stars Best beside $400 Vitamix   May 19, 2008
Ruby Bennett (Lansing, Michigan, USA)
We love this blender. It was ranked a "Best Buy" by Consumers' Report Magazine recently and I understand why. The variable speeds come in handy. It's easy to clean, and it has a powerful motor. I am a VitaMix user and thought nothing beside a VitaMix would please me, but this does. I highly recommend this blender!


5 out of 5 stars ALL THAT AND MORE   May 18, 2008
S. Stout (Greenwood MO USA)
This blender has more than met my expectations. It is SO MUCH QUIETER than the blender I had been using. It makes my protein shakes very smooth and blends the ice like butter! I have recommended it to many people and one of them has already purchased her own.


3 out of 5 stars Great while it works, but died in 16 months   May 11, 2008
JoHo (California, USA)
While it worked, this was the best blender we'd ever had. We make fruit smoothies every morning, and this blender worked like a dream, blending everything together beautifully. However, after 16 months of use, the plastic teeth on the bottom of the blade assembly that make the blades spin are snapping off. Useless!

So if you only expect your blenders to last a year or so, this is the blender for you. Personally, I expect a lot longer life from a Braun. My last blender ran for at least five years of daily smoothies.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent blender   May 4, 2008

This blender was purchased for the purpose of making smoothies. I did research and made sure I found a strong-motored blender that won't jam or have that burning metal smell when crushing ice. Consumer Reports magazine labeled this blender as a "best buy", and I completely agree with them. The glass jug is sturdy and attractive, and the motor is strong and fairly quiet. (Is there such a thing as a silent blender?) The removable piece in the top of the blender makes adding the ice (or any other harder food) to the liquid a breeze. I have used it many times, and have had no problems. (It leaked the first time I used it, but it was because I didn't see that the rubber ring was not re-inserted after the initial washing - oops!) Cleanup is fairly easy, but be careful as the blades are very sharp! A tip for cleanup is to rinse the jug with water immediately after pouring the beverage so nothing will dry and crust up on the blades, thus avoiding getting one's fingers dangerously close to the very sharp objects! As long as directions are followed for assembly and food prep, you will have this blender for a long, long time.

This is a great blender, and i bought it because it was tested by Americas Test Kitchen, and rated the top blender. The price is great, and it is able to blend frozen pieces of fruit, if you are making a fruit smoothie. The dial is good, and is much easier to clean than push buttons.
