WOW I Love smoothies but my budget is getting tight so I got on line to fine a inexpensive smoothie machine I found it with the reviews I read. I have you to know I can make them better than Smoothie_ _ _ _ :) as a matter of fact I make at least 1 a day and drink it straight out of the cup with the the pretty lid that comes with it. The only thing if you use ice try to but enouph liquid in to smooth it out and you will be fine.

Brushed Chrome is not Chrome, rather cheap gray plastic. I was under the impression the base would be metal and would match with the stainless steel stove and fridge.
I was not impressed with that showed up!

The Product was just as represented. I like the idea that you can put it on Low or High and leave while you take care of other things in the morning. The other blender I had only allowed you to pulse blend so you had to stand there with it until it was finished blending. Also with the other one you had to take the whole mixing cup with blades with you. I like being able to take the blades off, wash them up and put on the travel lid for taking it in the car with me.
My only complaint, and it is true of every blender I have ever used. They insist on putting ridges inside the cup, I guess it is supposed to promote better mixing, but it just makes it harder to clean in my opinion. The powder that I mix up every morning gets caught in the crevices of these ridges and often I have to take a rubber spatula and scrape the residue out of the corners of these ridges in order to get the drink thoroughly mixed.
Otherwise is it a great product and I would recommend it to anyone. I also liked the Site to Store option since it saved me about $9.00 in shipping charges.
All in all it is a great product. Don't hesitate to try it.

I bought this only a few days ago and wanted to share my experience so far. I love this! I make smoothies just about every morning before going to the gym to teach my fitness classes. I have found a couple of recipes that I like: Buy a bag of mix fruit with pineapple, strawberry, etc. add non fat vanilla yogurt, couple ice cubs, and some orange juice with protein powder.
It only take a couple minutes to make something and it gives me the extra boost.

I purchased this blender mainly for making morning smoothies. I use it 6 days a week and so far so good. I love the sleek appearance and I have yet to experience any type of burning smell. I've only blended yogurt mixed with frozen fruit, I've yet to try actual ice cubes, but this is an amazing blender for the price.

The good thing about the "upside down" design is you have a mug to drink from without having to dirty another glass. The downside is smoothie often clings to the blades and a bit spills when I'm taking the blade assembly off.
Also, the blades are relatively flat, not bent up, so it doesn't chop quite as well as some other blenders I've had.
On the whole, it's a good value for the price.

After reviewing more expensive personal blenders, I came across this one. Its motor is stronger, and it has a better rating that the more expensive ones. I've used it to make milkshakes, smoothies, blend herbal mixes, etc. I always pulse it when adding frozen items--which I do anyway when using my larger blender. I cannot imagine a poor rating on this great value. Bottom line: I love it!

I couldn't be happier, even if I'd spent twice the money. I make coffee drinks almost daily, and if I'd bought 3 or 4 of those at Starbucks, I would have paid for the blender, AND had more calories and fat. I'd love an extra mug also, but would buy another one of these in a second to get the extra mug.

I love this blender. I wish it wasn't so hard to find extra cups. I haven't been able to find them in the stores But I can find them on qvc. But its hard to find them in stock there as well. So I will be stocking up on them as soon as I can find them. I might just order another blender to get the extra cup and that way when the blender goes out I'll already have my back up with out waiting on it. I just really haven't made up my mind yet. I really think these blenders sould come with 2 cups not just one. The cups are to make this blender more convenient with less mess. Just blend and go but if you have more then one person and can't find a togo cup for everyone that kind of goes out the window. I haven't had any problems so far just go by the marks on the cup and its perfect. Just make sure that you buy the cups you might need with the blender or who knows when you are going to be able to get them.

This is the same exact blender that shows on QVC for a higher price plus shipping and handling. I love this for my morning protein shakes. It's easy to use and easy to clean which means it's always available and not sitting in the dishwaster. It blends frozen fruit and ice with no problem. The extra lid provided really is leak-proof and so convenient when on the go. If you're thinking about this one, don't hesitate any longer.

I have purchased at least 8 of these in the last 4 years. I use them for a diet drink with crushed ice. The problem is the small or weak motor. If you try to put ice cubes in this blender, it burns out the motor. Crushed ice works better. Because the container is made of a not too durable plastic, parts of the insice casing breaks off and ends up in your drink. Because I have found nothing else like it (the bullet's container is too small for my use), I just continue to buy them every time one burns out.

Our Back to Basics personal blender is starting to sound tired after almost daily usage for 3 or 4 years. We decided we couldn't do without it so got this one for backup...just in case ours dies. It is So perfect for the smoothie drinker-just one container to blend in and drink from.
