1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This !   November 13, 2008
C. Bubenik (Portland, OR)
Just like the other bad comments above, the gear connection in the base stripped out and burned/melted after I have only used it 10 times in one month. Obviously the manufacturer has a design problem here. I would give it zero stars, but that is not an option.


4 out of 5 stars Great blender especially for the price   October 8, 2008
JT (Santa Rosa, CA USA)
I have had this product for over a year. We make two protein smoothies every morning and sometimes one at night. It is a little power house. I did not use crushed ice - I used whole cubes and it crushed up most of them - just had to let it run for a little while. It did finally die. The blades came off but we got alot of use out of it. The individual cups are great and I am hoping I can use the ones I have with the recent model. I am looking on amazon to buy another one. The people who say it died after 2 months ... I am not sure what happened ... maybe you got a lemon or overheated it. Try another one - you will be happy.


4 out of 5 stars nice   August 31, 2008
Gladys Y. Caro (USA)
so far we like it. it's obviously pretty cheaply made... but that fits the price. it's great and simple to use. we got it to make baby food for our new infant... but it's great to use to make drinks and smoothies... my favorite is sparkling water, frozen blueberries and a squirt of lime to make a great soda. easy to clean. no complaints. can't give 5 stars to something that will obviously not last forever... but... again... the price was right.


2 out of 5 stars Does the job well, but not built to last   July 24, 2008
Mannina Magha (Traveller)
When you get this item for less than half the price of a Magic Bullet, I was tempted to buy this - Overall it is a good blender and does pretty much most of the things which a Magic bullet can do, but my only disappointment is that it is not built well, here are some details:

* Does the job well, but not as good as the Magic bullet. something which would take 1 minute on the Magic bullet would probably take about 1.5 minutes

* Poor platic quality on the mixer jars - The jars have lost their shape to a slight degree after a few times in the dishwasher - can't these guys put some decent plastic in their jars ?

* Poor quality gaskets and sealing - There is a small rubber gasket (sealant) which seals the blender jar and the blade - the gasket is so poorly designed and build that it sometimes leaks and spills liquids into the blender, sometimes drops off into the contents of the blender

Overall, my suggestion is that if you are planning to use this to make some quick smoothies & shakes - go ahead and buy this - at $17 it is worth every dollar, no need to pay $60 for a Magic bullet.

But if you are planning some heavy kitchen work - stay away from this blender - you will have to trash this in a 2-3 months.

Note:
If you are planning to buy this blender: I just saw that the price on this item was $59.99 (offered by Macys) - it is a ripoff by macys. Try looking elsewhere on the net for prices around $20-$25, or hopefully amazon will offer this directly as better prices.



1 out of 5 stars Flawed design wears out quickly   July 15, 2008

I used this blender exclusively for smoothies using frozen fruit and various liquids, and it was cool while it worked. However, the connection between the base and the pitcher is rubber and wore out quickly, rendering it useless. Unless you use this product exclusively with relatively soft items, it will most likely not live long and prosper.
