I bought this blender because it was a great price and looked like a good product. It is the worst blender I have ever used, or even heard about! It is very finicky: it takes a lot of effort to get the cover completely on, and the cover must be locked in place for the blender to start. I've spent way to much time standing in front of my blender placing and replacing the cover in order to get it to work.
Add to that, the item is not normally durable. When I was removing it from the mount, the whole plastic handle came off. I would never recommend this item to anyone. It is a real disappointment.

I bought this blender, and couldn't get it working until some long efforts. I basically had to press very hard on the top of it to make it working, but then I couldn't stop it. When I umplugged it, it didn't want to work again, and I had to return it.

I wouldn't recomend it at all.

this purchase experience gave me a lot of trouble. i ask to return the item theer times because of the defection of the product. now i still did not receive a good blender. i hope i can get the replacement as soon as possible. and i hope the replecement will not have trouble

Avoid this blender. You can do better with a low-priced model from your local discount store. Sometimes it won't turn on, sometimes you turn the switch to 'off,' and it won't turn off. Parts of the bowl's handle/spring apparatus also tend to come loose, and you can't use it until everything's properly aligned again. I can't imagine that it actually ever sells for the advertised retail price!

Shipping was quick on this blender, it's reasonably powerful, chopped ice w/ no problem... Blender comes with 2 attachments, which just like the container and lid, are plastic. That is the main drawback. It chopped ice just fine and otherwise works great.

Wish there had been some product reviews available when I bought this blender. It lasted about 3 or 4 uses and then quit. It was my first Girmi product and will probably be my last.

3 Stars because I never tried this contraption. but given my experience just glaring at the parts that came out of the box I would give it a 1. If I had tried it and liked it I may have given it a 5.

I probably shouldn't review an item I never used but I did purchase it so....

I took it out of the box, saw the 2 "extra" attachments, couldn't figure out how the thing could possibly perform ice crushing or whipping cream with the attachments, saw that everything was plastic not unlike a childs toy, put everything back in the package and sent it back.

So I'm out $8.00 return shipping and am happy with my new blender that crushes ice, not only "without" an attachment but without any liquid.

I hope someone that used this Girmi blender and liked it would leave a rating.

If you read the manual and use the right attatchments provided this will do the job as stated. When I use the Blender, I get an electric motor smell like it is burning up. Not the worst thing I ever bought.
