I am a graduate student so this product pretty much serves my solitary needs but do not expect food processor capacity. Makes two servings of smoothies and chops and grinds small quantities of spices and coffee beans. I have no complaints about either performance or speeds, but the size did turn out to be a little smaller than I thought. Overall, serves very specific needs well.

The good news is you get the mini-blender toy free with your $19.95 (@ Kmart) grinder.

The bad news is that it is a lousy grinder. Anyone who knows anything about blade coffee grinders (or lawnmowers for that matter) knows one end of the blade should be bent up and the other end down, creating a vortex effect forcing the ground beans up the outside and letting the whole beans fall down the center. With both ends of the blade bent up on this one, the result is fine powder packed into the bottom while whole, unground beans still rest on top!

product was pretty good for a grad student. Powerful motor. Compact. Not something you would use for huge jobs. However, for fast smoothies on the go this is great!

The blender is sufficient for 1-2 people, and it does a reasonably good job. The grinder on the other hand is small, but it is useful for small grinding jobs.

I would highly recommend it for its price and quality for the price. The only downside is that the size and the lack of any speed control.

This little blender is the best thing going!! I've used it at least twice a day for over 7 weeks for protein drinks and smoothies...It's terrific! Great power. My only request is that they make additional containers available.
Thanks for the great product and as always great service.

This was a disappointment. It looked more like a toy than a real kitchen appliance.Returned it.

It is a very nice blender however it takes a long time to crush the ice
