Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this blender for over a month now and it has made gallons and gallons of smoothies, milkshakes and fru-fru-crushed-ice-mixed-refreshments (aka 'sorority girl drinks').I love the jar- it pours decently, especially compared to the Kitchenaid blender I've been using which cost three times as much and makes a huge mess when pouring- not to mention has little pieces that go in the lid which are constantly missing.
The base is a little faulty.There is a switch which basically you can flip between hi-off-lo.There is a button you can press to pulse the blades.My button fell apart after about a month of heavy use(girl scout troop had a 'smoothie day').Felt that was pretty hokey, though I cannot vouch that the blender was treated kindly by the girl scout troop- knocked the star rating down for quality of workmanship there.The button still works and everything, just the cover came loose and is jiggling around in there.
I'm a little afraid of the button since I saw a movie when I was little where some woman was electrocuted by her coffee maker.I imagine myself standing in a small puddle from ice cubes I invariably drop, doing a little dance in my bathrobe as I concurrently fry and make up my morning smoothie.
Anyhow, blender still works perfectly without the pulse button so it is more aesthetic/principle of the button breaking that I'm complaining about.
Cleans up nicely and the lid fits well.My Kitchenaid blender would often leak goop down onto the blender base- not so with this blender.Serves my needs very well and I think it does a wonderful job- makes short work of ice, blends smoothies and milkshakes in mere moments- for the price point.While other brands, like Kitchenaid, mike look fancier and have more options and speeds- mostly I find that stuff to get in the way, be unnecessary or make the thing more difficult to clean.
Finally, on performance, works better than any other blender I've owned- yes, it's new but even when other blenders were new, they didn't handle ice and being filled to the top so well as this does.A good little workhorse without alot of bells and whistles- but sometimes less is more.
