1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me..., July 5, 2007

I returned if after using it twice. For single serving protein drinks, I couldn't even get it to blend the powder well or crush the ice cubes. Maybe it works better for larger quantities. The "dispenser" was a joke; it took forever. On top of it all, it was a pain to clean. I returned it and picked up the Bella Cucina Rocket blender which is designed for one serving. Works MUCH better and is a breeze to clean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blends well, but hard to clean and put back together, August 28, 2008

This blender really does blend well, it crushes ice and frozen fruits well and makes nice thick smoothies. It has a nice stir stick to help mix the ingredients as it blends. When I purchased the blender I liked the thought of the dispenser. However, it is a big pain to clean and put back together! The dispenser alone has 5 parts that have to align exactly to reassemble. If not put together perfectly then the dispenser doesn't work and you get a big mess. It's okay for a cheap smoothie maker, but next time I would upgrade.

I'm really impressed with this machine. I made a fruit smoothie (about 2 adult servings) first, and what I noticed first is how powerful the motor is! It ground up ice very nicely and mixed my fruitful drink into a frothy treat. The dispenser works very well, until you get to the very bottom of the batch. Then it flows slowly and you have to pour the rest out (which was probably about a half cup or so.) I'm glad I purchased this smoothie maker and would recommend it!
