Krups KB720 1,000-Watt 5-Speed Blender with 60-Ounce Glass Jar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just finished my first blend - was a bit worried after reading all of the negative reviews concerning about whether this unit can adequately blend frozen fruit.First impression - very nice.Smoothie with frozen strawberries (+ almond milk & protein powder) was well blended.Unit did turn itself off, either from an (unseen) auto timer or the heat sensor issues raised in other reviews, but my smoothie was finished anyway.Very quiet blending - a huge plus as my cheapo blenders used to make me plug my ears and I'm sure woke the neighbors (apartment neighbors), as loud as jackhammers. So far so good, very pleased.

UPDATE: Many smoothies later - it occurs to me that those complaining about the lack of a "vortex" action, or incomplete blending, probably aren't following the blender directions.You must start the blender on its lowest setting first, then once the material has been broken down, you can move it up the speed list.If you make it go too fast too soon, there is no vortex action.My smoothies are chock full of frozen stuff and this blender handles it well (if I follow the unit's directions).Wonderful to be in the same room with an operating blender and not worry about hearing loss...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

*UPDATE - 3 MONTHS LATER*

2 Blends a day, this blender handles it all, does a great job, still very quiet, I'm buying an extra for the office soon.
