I was in the market for a new blender after my 350w blender died. I didn't want to buy another cheap blender that would die fairly soon, but didn't want to pay $400 for a Vitamix or Blendtec blender.

The Bar Maid BLE-100 fit the bill nicely. It's a commercial blender, and so it comes with a powerful 1 hp motor that blends everything I've tried so far to a perfectly smooth consistency in short time. Exhaust vents shoot hot air out the sides to protect the motor from damaging heat buildup. I blend about 2-3 times a day and this unit is overkill for my needs. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I have been using this blender for a few weeks now on a daily basis making everything from smoothies, dips, soups, etc. I am so happy with the efficiency of this blender! It has unbelievable power and it's not extremely loud like my Cuisinart. It also comes apart very easily to clean, which I personally love because I never felt that I could get into all of the crevices of my Cuisinart to thoroughly clean it. My only suggestion would be, if you don't have a refrigerator that crushes ice then invest in an ice crusher (or you could go old school and put the ice cubes in a plastic bag and smash them to smitherings with a ladle). I would imagine with the power of this blender that it would not have a problem crushing whole ice cubes, but I have not attempted it because the manual suggested not to (and I definitely don't want to damage the blade). I hope this review was helpful. Happy blending!!
