This blender/food processor in one is just what I needed. For the price, it works good(at least the blender), haven't got to use the food processor, yet.

I have use the blender to puree and the chopper for onions, celery and both have worked great.

Have not had an opportunity to use juicer, but looks like it will do what I need.

Makes Suuuuper nice looking and delicious food., 10/08/2008
By 2loves2gether4ever, LAREDO TX
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I made mango smoothie and it came out perfect(remember that you have to start from slow to med and finally fast) also I made chopped onions and cilantro and I was very satisfied with the results the onions were nicely chopped as well as the cilantro.
This was used as a side for tacos al pastor for a mesxican banquet and it looked suuuper nice on the plate because of how well this was chooped. And finally I made the salsa and everything together was delicious. One last thing it does come with a pusher for the processor and it also serves as a measuring cup as well as the middle part of the blender lid, it is also a measuring cup and the attachments are very easy to clean and use.

Have found that it is very easy to use. All the attachments are convenient and for a basic food processor/blender it does what I need it to do. I would absolutely recommend this product to friends and family.

The best blender I've ever had!, 07/23/2008
By fuchila, La Mesa
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I bought the Back to Basics 4 speed 3 in one blender a few weeks ago. I can't begin to describe how great it is. I made shakes with it!! I put milk at the bottom, added whole cubes of ice, ice cream, fresh fruit, bananas, and artificial rum flavor to the mix, I even put coconut in the blender. It was so delicious. The blades ripped into those ice cubes like nothing flat. I am so impressed with it, I am going to order another one for my daughter. It even has a spout for you to serve into glasses straight from the blender. It's easy to clean and disassemble. You can use it as a regular blender to make salsa, you can use it as a food processor...it is terrific. The price is unbeleivable. And picking it up at the Walmart is easy. No hassles, no problems.
I totally recommend this blender.

Pros
Multiple uses.
Quality Product for a good price.
Cons
The spout on the smoothie attachment does not work unless the drink is basically liquid. I do fruity ice drinks instead of smooth drinks.

Just having gastric bypass surgery I was looking for something that would make shakes great. When I saw this was 3-in-1 I couldn't resist. It has exceded my expectations. I made cream of broccli soup and put it through the smoothie attachment...it was so smooth I couldn't beleive it. And it took seconds... best blender I've owned. I honestly don't know why its not in stores....

Great Product, 04/22/2008
By TEAVABeach, Virginia Beach, VA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This blender is fierce! The smoothie maker is awesome! This smoothie attachment really crushes ice for a soft serve water-ice texture that you will really enjoy! Put the Blender on low speed for the smoothie to pour out of the spout and you can make swirls in desert dish or a glass with a big straw! For a thinner smoothie Just add more juice or less ice. It has a nice attachement (food proc) that dices onions and celery like a champ! Great buy for the price!

I ordered this for my daughter because she wanted a blender that would also make smoothies. She loved it when I bought it for her. I even bought her another one to keep at our house for when she comes over. It is a great machine and we have all ready gotten our moneys worth out of it.

Great for breakfast shakes, 03/14/2008
By Chella, Buffalo, NY
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I was looking for a product that was as well as a food processor. I chose this one after reading reviews of similar products but also based on price. I used the site-to-store feature to avoid paying for shipping since it was available in stores. The site-to-store took a while. I've only had the blender for a few weeks and have only used it to make breakfast shakes in the smoothie maker attachment. So far it has worked great! I use frozen berries, frozen bananas, and ice cubes in my shakes and have not had any problems with chunks. If there are any chucnks I just add a little bit more soy milk or water and let it blend for a little longer. I can't comment on the food processor as I haven't used it yet. Though easy to take apart, the parts are a bit difficult to actually clean. I have no dishwasher and have to clean by hand. The blades are difficult to clean around. It doesn't help that blended banana turns into GLUE when it dries!

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Had a blender I used until liquids were literally shooting out of the sides of the blender, also burnt the magic bullet out in a month!
I needed something that would last without buying industrial. I make 2 smoothies a day for 1-3 people. As well as salsa on a weekly basis. This blender has stood the test so far. I've been an owner for a couple months now. And was priced very affordably considering the work it has had to perform.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Overall this was a very durable a decent product. Very straight forward without all the extra "bells and whistles" you get with the fancy smoothie machines. The only drawback with this machine is the size. Its huge and won't fit on my tiny apartment kitchen counter. But if size isn't an issue than I would definately reccomend this product. Just remeber to use the o-ring when you screw the blender body together, as it will leak like crazy. Just ask my roommates :)

Big disappointment, 08/09/2007
By opus8no5, Aberdeen, WA
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I would not call this a blender. I tried to make a drink with juice and cut up nectarines, blended on slow for 30 seconds as directed, then on high for about a minute and when I went to pour the drink there were still chunks of fruit. I poured this into the smoothie attachment to see if that worked better and still ended up with chunks of fruit, so as soon as the jar is dry, I am putting this product back in its box and heading to Wal-Mart with receipt in hand to get a credit for a real blender.

I was pleased with the product. Nice looks, nice finish and seems to be built of good materials, Very strong motor. Tore right through ice cubes, fruit, vegetables. The pouring spout for smoothes is a nice touch.
Would recommend the product. Performs as well or better than products costing much more.
