Back to Basics SALPHA500 June 16, 2008
E. Parrinello
Only used about six times so far for Frozen drinks, seems to have plenty of power, well built. My only minor concern is that the spout seems to 'drip' a lot more than my old model. Would highly recommend.
 Makes great smoothies, bad hardware May 8, 2008
A. Bearden
I have had this product for three months now. My first time making a smoothie, the pour spout leaked! I had read other reviews with this same problem, but wasn't concerned. I was surprised that it did leak the first time however. The option to use the spout is no longer available to me, so I have switched to using the closed cap. I would expect hardware on a product to last a tad longer than the first use, however this doesn't take away from the great smoothies it produces. All in all, I'm not sure I would recommend this exact model to everyone, but at the price, I think it is a good choice.
 this machine is the greatest March 27, 2008

I use this back to basics smoothie Maker every day and it is great. It never jams, it works so well on frozen fruit. Its quick and very easy to clean. I recommend it to all who love smoothies.
 Do NOT Buy March 20, 2008
A. Crawford (California)
Okay so this thing seems great at first, the reveiws are so so and it seems like it has power. EXCEPT it cannot be run for long periods of time, so if you are making a full belnder of say a frozen fruit smoothie it will not blend all the fruit therefore leaving you with chunks. If you do run it for too long it starts to stink becuase the motor is burning.
Also, it is very very hard to obtain parts, the spout broke just from normal use, which I find now, is common, and I searched online then finally found a phone number to order, the people are rude, the parts are Way too expensive (the spout was $15 plus shipping) and the shipping was terribly slow.
I don't know what this would be good for, as evn if you are not blending frozen things, the motor still can't run for longer than a couple of minutes.
Save your money, and buy a Hamilton Beach single serve blender, this little guy rocks! It comes with a travel lid and will fit in your car cup holder.
Works well enough February 3, 2008
Melissa (USA)
I have had this product for some time now. It is still in good condition, though I don't use it every week. My only complaint is that it's very loud, even for a blender. Otherwise, its well made. The lid locks on and is easy to get on and off. It looks nice enough.
