 Braun MX2050 "PowerLAX" August 22, 2008
David J. Farrell (Orlando, Florida United States)
After several blender buys(cheaper) I ordered the Braun; simple dial, glass jug, brand name,Consumer Reports review, etc. The nylon(?) teeth under jug looked flimsy and after the first use I realized that there were only 2 speeds. The highest of which made the unit twirl around the counter top. Sent it back and expect to have to pay more for a better blender.
 BE WARNED: Now on my third set of blades!!! August 22, 2008
Rice eater (Baltimore, MD)
This blender works very well. I make smoothies at least 3 times a week and if you put the wet ingredients in first, then the frozen, the smoothies come out blended very nicely. Yes, it's powerful, BUT, it is absolutely true that the teeth on the blade break off. I've had this blender for about 18 months and I am now on my third replacement blade. At about $15 a pop, this blender is becoming exceedingly expensive. The only reason I'm not throwing it out is because I don't want another piece of electronic filling up our landfills. Be warned that you WILL need to replace the blade mechanism with continued use.
Plastic Gears broken after 4 months! August 17, 2008

I don't know who to be more disappointed in. Consumer Reports for placing this on their short list of best blenders or Braun for making plastic gears which have broken on a very nice product after only 4 months. As other have stated, I will not be purchasing Braun appliances in the future and will cancel my membership to this leading consumer research org.
 Great for frozen fruit smoothies - but you have to learn the tricks! August 14, 2008
Chris Cade (Vancouver, WA)
As one other reviewer said, at first I had challenges with this blender when making frozen fruit smoothies. It seemed I was always using a spoon to push more of the fruit down towards the blades.
Then I learned a similar trick to the other poster - put in your juice along with any softer fruits at the bottom of the blender, then have the frozen stuff at the top.
For example, I love to make my strawberry (frozen), banana (fresh), blueberry (frozen) smoothies.
I used to put in the apple juice and strawberries first, then toss in bananas and blueberries in no particular order. This approach was not effective.
Now, I put in the apple juice and bananas first, then blueberries, then strawberries on top.
It blends like a charm, and unlike the other poster, I don't have to keep adding fruit over and over. I put it all in once, occasionally give the blender a shake if it seems to get a little stuck, and then go.
When you first get this blender, have a little patience for finding the right combination of juice and fruit. Once you hit that magic combination, it works perfectly every time and I am VERY pleased with the blender as compared to others I have tried.
