Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Compact, lightweight, and simple to operate, this inexpensive one-speed blender is ideal for creating frozen drinks, smoothies, shakes, soups, and party dips. Although it only has 250 watts of power, that's ample for what it does best, and it provides four stainless-steel blades for ice crushing and fast, thorough blending. The blade assembly is permanently attached to the jar so no assembly is required. With its translucent blue plastic jar and neon green top, the blender manifests high-tech cool. The shatterproof jar holds 33 ounces, and it and the top are dishwasher-safe. The blender measures 4-3/4 inches wide, 13-1/2 inches high, and 5-1/2 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This is a cool item to own. If you are looking for something to help start your summer off right, well this is it. It was made for crushing ice just right for those speciality drinks. Get one and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome smoothie maker, November 11, 2002

By A Customer

Don't let the price and appearance fool you. This blender is amazing! I was worried about how well it would crush ice, but it does it effortlessly. Ice cubes turn to slush in about 5 seconds. The size of the blender is just perfect for making one or two servings of your favorite smoothie, without taking up any counter space. You can tell some serious design went into this product, because they make it really easy to clean by putting the blade inside the jar. The jar also stands upright without the base so you can just put the rest of your smoothie in the fridge.

Note however, that this is not an all-purpose blender, since there are only two settings (on and off). I personally don't find that to be a problem at all. How useful is a dozen or more different speed settings on a full-size blender anyway? (You can simulate the effect by just turning off the blending sooner.) The two-speed dial just makes operating the blender a no-brainer.

Overall, very happy with the product! Perfect for a college student or for anyone who doesn't need a full-size blender.
