 Do not buy this December 30, 2008

Do not buy this junk. After just a few uses, the blender failed and would not turn on. The manufacturer customer support is horrible. They acknowledged that the unit failed, but would only replace the 4 week old blender if I paid the shipping. They do not stand by their products; if they had, I would have accepted the replacement and assumed this failure was an exception.
On a positive note, Amazon return was hassle-free, and they accepted responsibility and paid the return shipping. Amazon, keep your great reputation and do not sell H.B. products.
Great, until they break. October 7, 2008

Ive had three of these now, and I'm not going to bother returning the third one. I don't know if I am just having a giant streak of bad luck or what, but I have had the same problem on all three blenders. They work great, for about a month, and then they quit.
When you try to power them on, the motor moves for maybe - 1/10th of a second, and then the blue light flashes... and thats it. Too bad, its a decent blender when it works.
 Best-looking blender out there; works well too July 12, 2008

OK, I admit it. I bought this blender because it is SOOO cool looking, and it was on sale for $34.95 at Target. It works just fine, and the sealed 5-speed control panel that displays the speed setting with cool blue lights is 1000% better than the clunky multiple-button system used on most blenders. I'm a little concerned how long the "bubble" type switches will last, but hopefully they will be OK; the same type of switches are used in computer keyboards, and they work for hundreds of thousands of cycles.
Two caveats. First, despite what the specs here say, this blender does not have an 800 watt motor. It's rated at 4.0 amperes, which is about 480 watts. It's not underpowered, by any means, but it's not an 800 watt machine. And second, it's a bit on the noisy side. But it blends like a champ, and the "wave action" pattern does seem to be effective at keeping the contents moving around to prevent "dead spots" in the stuff you're blending.
 Seems OK thus far July 10, 2008

It blends milkshakes and smoothies fine, but I've been really careful with it and only had it for a week. I only crush a few ice cubes at a time instead of packing it with ice cubes and fruits all at once. The container is shaped in a way that tosses the liquid from the base towards the top to aid mixing. Would've been better if the bottom of the container was stainless steel instead of plastic, but I suppose for 50 bucks this is a well-functioning blender. The sticker label that marks "Power" and "Speed" etc on the control panel started peeling but it stuck back on after I pushed it in without additional adhesive.
