Amazon.com Review
Two powerful kitchen appliances have been brought together in this blender/food processor by Cuisinart. The heavy-duty motor base is up to both blending and processing tasks, and won't "walk" on the counter, even when it's crushing ice. Use the blender with its dripless pour spout to make and serve 40 ounces of frozen drinks or to purée baby foods or soups; use the processor to prep up to 3 cups of vegetables, cheeses, nuts, and meats. With one motor base, it's simple to keep the blender out on the counter and then bring out the processor attachment for special tasks. This is an amazingly sturdy product, with tight-fitting lids, a heavy glass blender jar, and a motor that chops meat or ice with equal aplomb. Most attachments are dishwasher-safe, and the flat touch pad, which has seven settings (including ice crush and pulse), is easily wiped down with a sponge. This dual appliance comes with a booklet that explains how to use all the features and lists 48 recipes, from cranberry-orange mimosas to classic mayonnaise. --Maria Dolan

 Love It Until The Motor Dies June 20, 2008
eleilani (California)
We received this blender for our wedding, and used it for blending smoothies and crushing ice for drinks. We loved it until the motor quit suddenly within the first year. The store was kind enough to replace it, and we loved our second one for almost six months, when it died. We exchanged it again, but it also died within a year. We just celebrated our third anniversary, and have gone through three SmartPower Duets in that time. I know, it sounds like we abuse the blender, ask it to blend rocks, beat it with a baseball bat, but the truth is we only use it for fruit, ice, and juice. In my opinion, a blender should be able to handle this.
I would NOT recommend this product unless Cuisinart does something about making the motor last longer than a year. You'll be buying a new one soon!
 So far so good June 5, 2008

I read the reviews on this pretty thoroughly before purchasing it. I did check the plastic base of the pitcher - and like someone else mentioned, I too found a hairline crack. I called the company and they gave me no problem - they are sending a new one. I have still used it a few times, and it seems to work great. We are very happy with it so far - it is a million times better than our last blender.
 I hate this blender! June 4, 2008

I bought this blender and food processor [...] thinking that it was a 'good buy'. This is the worst blender I have ever owned! It went back! I wanted a blender with a glass jar and flat buttons that did well at blending ice for smoothies and making milk shakes. This blender makes a lot of noise/vibration and doesn't do that well at blending anything. The base is stupid, its a big hollow piece of plastic and after using it 2-3 times it started to leak! I hate all the bulky parts that come with this thing. If you need a blender just buy a blender!
 just what you want May 8, 2008

Believe the reviews. This product is not worth your money May 3, 2008

You might think that you're saving space by getting this appliance, and you're right - you'll be saving lots of space because this product is going to end up in the garbage. My food processor became defective after 3 uses. The food processor blade got stuck on the gear box stem in a funky position, so it won't work turn, and it refuses to come off.
Even if you don't have any problems, the food processor is wholly inadequate for most humanoid life forms. I kidded myself into thinking I wouldn't mind pureeing my butternut squash soup in six batches, or making pesto in three batches. I was wrong.
The blender is like your coworker who does just barely enough not to get fired. And the button controls are like the food processor/blender version of Windows Vista - confusing, clunky and counterintuitive.
Cuisinart seems to be using the inkjet printer business model with this product, where they suck you in with an affordable price and then slam you with their $20 toner cartridges. Make money on the machine, and then keep on making money with parts that break and need replacing.
Invest in a real food processor and blender. You'll thank yourself.
