Two powerful kitchen appliances have been brought together in this blender/food processor by Cuisinart. The heavy-duty motor base is up to both blending and processing tasks, and won't "walk" on the counter, even when it's crushing ice. Use the blender with its dripless pour spout to make and serve 40 ounces of frozen drinks or to puree baby foods or soups; use the processor to prep up to 3 cups of vegetables, cheeses, nuts, and meats. With one motor base, it's simple to keep the blender out on the counter and then bring out the processor attachment for special tasks. This is an amazingly sturdy product, with tight-fitting lids, a heavy glass blender jar, and a motor that chops meat or ice with equal aplomb. Most attachments are dishwasher-safe, and the flat touch pad, which has seven settings (including ice crush and pulse), is easily wiped down with a sponge. This dual appliance comes with a booklet that explains how to use all the features and lists 48 recipes, from cranberry-orange mimosas to classic mayonnaise. --Maria Dolan
Product Description
It's like two appliances in one! All the power and versatility you expect from a Cuisinart food processor, combined with a seven speed glass jar blender. You'll be completely equipped to make an Orange Creamsicle Shake or Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce. The economy of design demonstrated by the SmartPower Duet is impressive, and sure to be especially appreciated by those with limited storage.

 loud, bulky, and cheap July 26, 2008
petitenurse (City of Salt, Utah)
I bought this 6 months ago. I am already looking online for replacement parts because the base to the blade cracked rendering the blender useless. It is so loud, I have to plug my ears and it scares my kids. The food prossesor purees everything to a pulp, even when you pulse it just a few times. The glass blender is heavy, akward, and drips all over when you pour. I paid 80$ for this at a department store, lucky it was a gift card. For a Cuisinart, I thought this would be quality. Keep looking.
 Nice looks but ... July 13, 2008

I got this blender as a Christmas gift 1 1/2 years ago. It looked very nice and the glass jar and base were sturdy. I used it mainly for smoothies (and Margaritas over the summer; used the food processor part just a couple of times). However, I noticed that just after a few uses, it began struggling, to the point that I was adding one fruit at a time or one or two ice cubes at a time, not to bog down the motor which seemed to be in CHF. Recently, it just died ...
Now, I am in the market for another blender. After reading many reviews, I am going to purchase another Cuisinart (SB-5600). I'll keep you posted.
Love It Until The Motor Dies June 20, 2008
eleilani (California)
We received this blender for our wedding, and used it for blending smoothies and crushing ice for drinks. We loved it until the motor quit suddenly within the first year. The store was kind enough to replace it, and we loved our second one for almost six months, when it died. We exchanged it again, but it also died within a year. We just celebrated our third anniversary, and have gone through three SmartPower Duets in that time. I know, it sounds like we abuse the blender, ask it to blend rocks, beat it with a baseball bat, but the truth is we only use it for fruit, ice, and juice. In my opinion, a blender should be able to handle this.
I would NOT recommend this product unless Cuisinart does something about making the motor last longer than a year. You'll be buying a new one soon!
 So far so good June 5, 2008

I read the reviews on this pretty thoroughly before purchasing it. I did check the plastic base of the pitcher - and like someone else mentioned, I too found a hairline crack. I called the company and they gave me no problem - they are sending a new one. I have still used it a few times, and it seems to work great. We are very happy with it so far - it is a million times better than our last blender.
I hate this blender! June 4, 2008

I bought this blender and food processor [...] thinking that it was a 'good buy'. This is the worst blender I have ever owned! It went back! I wanted a blender with a glass jar and flat buttons that did well at blending ice for smoothies and making milk shakes. This blender makes a lot of noise/vibration and doesn't do that well at blending anything. The base is stupid, its a big hollow piece of plastic and after using it 2-3 times it started to leak! I hate all the bulky parts that come with this thing. If you need a blender just buy a blender!
