Customer Reviews

Great Blender, Great Look
I know that there are some true blender "gurus" out there - which I am not. However, this blender has worked wonders for me over the last few months. It's reliable and predictable and blends all kinds of foods to any consistency without hassle and without the lateral push from a wooden spoon. Because the blender looks beautiful on the counter, I have received several compliments just on the look of the blender alone. It's easy to clean, is made of quality glass, and is large enough to serve smoothies to at least 3 or 4 drinkers. This is a great pick for the price-conscious cook, health nut, or athlete!

Smoothie-generator
I am quite satisfied with this blender (max 400 watt power). Its wave-action which one can watch thru the glass jar demonstrates how well it works in creating smoothies. And the ice-crusher does work! HOWEVER, if all you put is 6 ice cubes, the ice-crushing is unsuccessful. In 5 seconds, the ice freezes suspended above the blender blades. Liquid will be needed, which is in fact what a smoothie asks for (1/2 cup to 1-1/2 cup milk). The milk with the ice cubes will allow this blender's stainless steel blades and the waveaction to get the job done. The rest of the yogurt-ingredients(e.g. 1-1/2-cup frozen blueberries, yogurt, protein mix, banana) gets processed without difficulty as a smooth smoothie gets prepared.
[NOTE: I'm curious what the 700-watt waveaction blender does --- but they have plastic containers while this one has the all-glass container which I prefer.]

great blender
This blender is great. It blends ice perfectly. There are no giant chunks left in drinks. It is quick too. Some blenders seem to take the longest time to just mix a smoothie or something but I have whipped up iced coffee drinks in 30 seconds or less. I would recommend this blender for any basic household use.
