This is the best blender I have ever purchased. The chop ice option is great. It is easy to use and easy to clean up after use.


3 out of 5 stars Flawed. Could have been the best.   July 28, 2008

This should have been the best blender on the market. Quiet, yet powerful. Easy to clean. Glass jug. Stable base on jug so it won't tip over. Acceptable price. One problem. It lacks power, no matter how many watts it's supposed to be. It can't handle the task if the ingredients are not thinned out first by adding lots of water. The motor burns out. (That's happened twice.) So keep your receipt (although the warranty is only one year). If you do buy one of these, be sure to put clear plastic tape (the wide kind you use for packages) over the buttons to keep liquids and powders from getting inside them. You just push the buttons through the tape.


2 out of 5 stars umm not sure if I'm loving it.   July 5, 2008

I received it for my bridal shower. Broke it out for the july 4th weekend to make frozen watermelon margheritas. yum (frozen watermelon cubes, contreau, lime juice, tequila- much more healthy than the shakes described in the other reviews;. It did smell, but so did my new toaster, its just a new appliance smell. It DID blend the margheritas, but it left chunks of watermelon in the center. Not the worst experience, but this thing is like a tank compared to my hamilton beach blender that did the job (loud) but got it done. i wouldnt run out to buy it, but its not the worst.




5 out of 5 stars My Blender works just fine =)   June 20, 2008

I've had this blender over a year now, but have not used it excessively.

I've started using it again recently to make raw green smoothies & other raw smoothies. It works perfectly for me.

I'm not sure why some people are having trouble with the bottom falling off?? Bizarre, since the bottom twists & locks into place. I guess if you don't attach it properly in the first place, then it's your own fault that the bottom falls out. Seriously, there's no way for the bottom to come off unless you do not attach it properly. You have to push it down & twist it & you will hear it click & lock onto the jar. Anyway...

It blends everything perfectly for me. Some of my latest creations have included watermelon, bananas, strawberries, baby carrots (whole), spinach, kale, watercress, blueberries, cherries, mangoes, pineapple, raw almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, raw oatmeal, and everything else you can imagine. It liquefies everythng I put in there easily & quickly.

When it was brand new, yes, it gave off a burning rubber kind of smell. But that's typical of most new appliances such as this. It's just how things are. It goes away after a few uses.

The glass jar is awesome - very heavy duty. So much nicer than plastic!

At any rate, its a nice blender as far as I'm concerned. It does what I need it to do, cleans super easy, and doesn't take up huge amounts of counter space.
