 "Cheap, weak blender" 2009-03-19
By Patrick (Austin, Texas)
I just bought this blender last week and have made about 5 smoothies with it. For smoothies, I use frozen fruit, protein powder and rice milk. I let the frozen fruit sit in the rice milk for 5 minutes to start thawing out the fruit. Still, this POS blender cannot chop the fruit. The motor revs and revs and you can smell the little motor toiling away. Only the fruit at the very very bottom gets blended. I have to stop and stir and blend again. I wonder how long this motor will last as it strain to the verge of overheating.

I thought that $300 for a high quality blender was too much. I thought that if this one wore out and broke after a year, I would just buy another. That was a good theory provided that the blender could easily make a smoothie. I guess this would be good for soups but I am not even going to go there. I am going to return this ASAP.

If you do a lot of cooking or expect to blend ice or frozen fruit, keep looking for another blender. Trust me.

 "Great for smoothies" 2004-01-02
By Elie (Paris, France)
Great blender. I used to make smoothies with it all the time until we moved to France and had to sell it (volt converter costs as much as the blender itself...) Chops frozen fruit real well too. Try plain yoghurt + frozen raspberries + canned peaches + ice cubes + honey for a healthy but tasty snack!
