1.0 out of 5 stars Great, until they break., October 6, 2008

By	dennis b "[e-mail]" (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews

Ive had three of these now, and I'm not going to bother returning the third one. I don't know if I am just having a giant streak of bad luck or what, but I have had the same problem on all three blenders. They work great, for about a month, and then they quit.

When you try to power them on, the motor moves for maybe - 1/10th of a second, and then the blue light flashes... and thats it. Too bad, its a decent blender when it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great blender and a cool night light., March 27, 2008

By	Jerry Estes (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This blender does everything we wanted a blender for, from making fruit, yogurt and Kefir smoothies to chopping and liquefying vegetables for drinking. The controls are much better than push buttons. The wave action is excellent for making sure that everything is blended smoothly and leaving no chunks. Blends in much less time than other blenders that we have had, and most of them have been Hamilton Beach. A very pleasant extra is the soft blue light on the bottom of the blender. It provides us with an effective night light in the kitchen, for those nights that we need to get up and stumble out into the kitchen.
Turns out that after a while this blender ends up being an expensive night light. We have not used this blend hard at all, just the two of us. We use it for occasional smoothies and that's about it. It seems to have a thermal switch in it that shuts it off when it starts getting hot. At first it never did shut off when we were using it, but now it shuts off before we are finished and we have to wait a few minuets for it to cool down so we can finish. If I had it to do over again I would give it two stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seems OK thus far, July 9, 2008

By	Aliron - See all my reviews

It blends milkshakes and smoothies fine, but I've been really careful with it and only had it for a week. I only crush a few ice cubes at a time instead of packing it with ice cubes and fruits all at once. The container is shaped in a way that tosses the liquid from the base towards the top to aid mixing. Would've been better if the bottom of the container was stainless steel instead of plastic, but I suppose for 50 bucks this is a well-functioning blender. The sticker label that marks "Power" and "Speed" etc on the control panel started peeling but it stuck back on after I pushed it in without additional adhesive.
