5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, July 15, 2010

This review is from: Proctor Silex 58130R 8 Speed Blender

I have never reviewed a product on amazon, and do not foresee myself reviewing another any time soon. After three years of daily use however, I feel this product deserves recognition. I prepare smoothies- ice smoothies- for breakfast every single morning of the year. I initially purchased this blender as a temporary solution while searching for the perfect stainless steel replacement that would complement the rest of my kitchen accessories as soon as this one had burnt its puny little putt putt motor out... or so I thought. Weeks later, this Proctor Silex 58130R was still crushing ice like the day I purchased it. Months passed and it showed no sign of slowing down, no signs of weakness. Years have now gone by now- three years- and I am still using the same blender. Not once has it leaked; not once has the motor overheated; not a single piece of it is worn down, broken, or needs replacement despite over 1000 daily uses crushing whatever I stuff into its durable, aesthetically unobtrusive body- and believe me, I am not easy on it. You know what? I'll admit it.. I might even say I'm rough on it- hoping to "accidentally" break the slightest piece off and finally have an excuse to purchase that shiny new Blendtec or Kitchenaid. But it won't give in- and I'm not breaking either. I'm going to keep running this machine into the ground every day and seeing how long it can stand the abuse.

If you are looking for an unobtrusive piece of equipment that will crush and blend whatever you throw at it without a single sign of wear or tear after years of constant abuse- look no further.

Bravo, Proctor Silex. I underestimated you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cheap blender out there!, February 23, 2009

I bought this blender to bring to work, and of course the cheap price is what attracted me (since I was leaving it there). I make supplement shakes every day for lunch with frozen fruits in it. This blender makes the best shakes BY FAR! I have a $150 Cuisinart blender at home, and even that does not compare to how smooth and fast this blender works. Another nice thing is that the blade is a part of the container which makes it very east to clean. This blender is fantastic!

I have had this blender for about two years now and it is great. It is no weakling! I have had no problems with it. Much more power than I expected for the money. GREAT VALUE !!!
