So far, so Great!!!, November 30, 2009
This review is from: Taylor AB1001BL BIGGEST LOSER HD BLENDER WITH CHOPPING JAR 330 WATTS
Compared to a previous hand blender I owned that finally burned out because it was too underpowered to blend asparagus soup, this blender is surprisingly strong! On 'High' speed, you better hang on tight: this thing has a kick like a mule! Nearly wrenched itself outta my hand a couple times. (Note: Best to start out on 'Low' speed as it is enough power to blend most things, using 'High' only when necessary, unless you risk making a splattering mess!) But I consider that a sign of just what kind of horsepower is under the hood.
The food processor attachment chops vegetables very well, comes apart easily, and washes up quickly (made Thanksgiving dinner a lot faster to prepare). I use the blender mostly for coffee drinks and smoothies. It quickly purees most things my other blender struggled with, even frozen fruit. And when I make homemade soup, I love the fact that you can stick it right in the pan and blend without dirtying other bowls or waiting for it to cool off. (Less work!)
I have only owned this machine for a month, but I love it already. Makes food prep and clean up sooo much easier! I was doubtful at first that it was a chintzy appliance because of the TV show tie-in, but rest assured, it's not. For its price-class, this is a thoroughbred: powerful and well designed. I use it everyday and am glad I took the chance to buy it. Time will tell how durable it is, but for now, so far, so great!

it's really easy to clean and now we make salsa dressing instead of high fat dressings for our dinner....Ali Vincent uses this (we saw her on tv) so if she could win -- we can too!
