This blender is the best of blenders....with the 400 recipes built in you can make just about anything from it...from waffles to cocktails it has it in it. Very good deal. I would recommend it to everyone interested in purchasing a blender.

I too have had a bad experience with this blender. The blade stuck just as it has for everyone else. However, it seems that Westinghouse must have bought Letrix or something because they have this same blender. You can order the replacement part through Westinghouse or Salton who is their parent co. Just ask for the blade assembly replacement for the Intelliblend W2000. It cost me $5.30 and at least I don't have to buy a new blender at the moment. This review is mainly for those of us unfortunate enough to have already purchased this blender. To anyone looking to buy it, DON'T.

I am thrilled with my recent purchase of the Lectrix Intelliblend blender. Not only are the recipes comprehensive, they're quick and easy.

The power of the blender to crush ice is also a major plus.

I was assigned the task of obtaining a blender and a "smoothie" recipe book. My wife had a simple Waring in mind, but that model was not in stock. I looked over the features on this one as well as the preceeding reviews and decided to take a chance on the Lectrix and to take a pass on the recipe book. We have not been disappointed. This blender handles mixing chores with ease, and has no problems at all with ice cubes. It's also reasonably quiet. However, the best part is the built-in recipe book. It's simple and intuitive (we did not read the manual) and gives all sorts of great drink recipes, including the smoothie blends that were part of my original assignment. It's not often I go out on a limb like this and come off a domestic hero, but in this case, I've gotten 2 enthusiastic thumbs up from the boss!

I love the blender! It is very powerful when it works. My problem is with the company's customer service and the inability to replace parts.
After about four months the plastic teeth on the bottom of the blades broke. I faxed the company and it took two to three months for the replacement part to arrive (free of charge). A couple of months later the retaining ring cracked. I have tried several times to fax the company and the fax number is no longer in service or does not go into fax recieving mode.
If anyone knows how to contact this company PLEASE let me know.
It is very frustrating when a company puts out a decent product but does not have a strong customer relations department.

When I first bought the blender I thought it was wonderful with it's abundance of recipes,however, after I used it twice the plastic teeth broke off and I still can't contact the company to get a replacement. The number on the manual is wrong and no such luck otherwise. Huge waste of money!

my blender lasted about a year before the teeth on the bottom of the blender broke. i've been trying to get a replacement for over 6 months now with no response from the company. the piece must cost less than $1. i told them i'd pay $10 and i still don't get a response. i bought a new blender to replace it.

The built in recipe list is a nice touch, but the base and drive assembly is thin plastic, mine worked for only 2 weeks before the motor would not operate, I had only used it 3 or 4 times. I guess I'll see how good the waranty is now! Spend a little more and buy a more durable blender.

I received this blender as a wedding gift from my mom in 2002. I used the blender less than 20 times before I relocated to Europe, so I kept the blender in storage until I moved back to the U.S. Today, I unpacked the blender and tried making a smoothie, but the blade assembly would not turn. The motor and recipe screen seem fine, but the plastic gears in the blade's base won't budge. This caused one of the plastic gear teeth to break off. I refered to the manual to find a website/contact number with no luck. After reading the other reviews on amazon.com, I won't waste anymore of my time with finding replacement parts. I guess I'll buy another blender, this time with a brand name I'm familiar with.

After less than a hundred uses, the teeth would no longer spin (froze up). The company appears to be out of business (lectrix.com has a disclaimer indicating that they are not the company with defective products) and now this gift from my mother appears to be a waste!
