 Defective Design |
| Review Date: May 19, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Klaus, |
I ordered this mixer for the price, and because I liked the on/off button which is useful for pulsing the mixer.
Unfortunately the design of the blades are wrong. We chopped up an apple into small pieces and tried to make applesauce. What happens is the pieces get tossed over to the side of the cup and the blades wind up spinning uselessly in the middle. Among the obvious design defects, the 4 blade cutter does not bring the blades close enough to the bottom of the cup, and the blades are not long enough to reach towards the side of the cup. It almost seems the designers never bothered to test out their device.
I did not have this problem with a different brand. Avoid this one. It's bad. I had to return it. Thanks for Amazon's return policy, but I still had to pay for shipping. |
great product, great value for the price

| the blender has worked really well for making smooties/shakes. it even processes vegetables well for the baby, the vegetables must be boiled first though. it does not handle so well when chopping fruit unless there is a liquid of some sort for it to chop it with. (i wanted to dice some fruit w/o liquid, and it did not do a good job) other then that, i am very happy with this purchase. its a great price compared to the magic bullet. |
You get what you pay for and a little more!

I have purchased three of these and I think I am going to purchase another. The last three still work. The first one was designed a little differently, more like the Magic Bullet. The last two are like the picture with the push button. The first I had gotten for my daughter when she moved out. Well she moved back in so I got to use it. I love it for protein shakes. Then I bought two more one for me and one for my sister. Well the son moved out so he got the oldest one. The daughter moved out so she got the one that was here that we were using. The third one was a gift to my sister. Now I don' have one here and I wanted to get away from the three tabs only because sometimes they are hard to slide in. After reading all the reviews I decided that for the price you cannot beat it. It comes with more blending cups than any of the others. Once you get used to using it, you will find out what works and what doesn't. The pulse button is great, just like a large blender you are not supposed to let it run nonstop. Unless the Magic Bullet has changed design you have to turn the whole cup and then turn to stop so hard to pulse. It also has the three tabs. I have used the Magic Bullet so this is from first hand experience.
Pros -
1. Price
2. 300 watt motor
3. Number of cups included
4. Pulse button
5. Customer Service at the company is really good.
Cons
1. Cups are probably not dishwasher safe. I have had some leak in the seam, so I stopped putting them in the dishwasher. I did contact the manufacturer and they did send me two replacement cups (including useless travel lids and gray rings) :) I just had to pay shipping $4.95. They did report the problem so maybe there will be a fix. I also thought it might be caused by the whole ice cubes pulsing against the sides.
Neutral
1. The gray rings, not sure what their purpose is. They are too small to insulate, I don't hold the cup at the top to drink. Don't really get it. Would rather see another cup or a refrigerator lid.
If you are using ice, you have to use a liquid. I don't really think it is loud. if you are crushing ice it will be loud no matter what blender you are using. You only blend for seconds, so no big deal to me.
Now that I have written a novel, I hope that it will help someone choose.

| I'm a single guy and bought this soley to make smoothies and milk shakes and it does a great and fast job blending these! I don't chop ice or anything else. If the recipe calls for ice, as Orange Julius, I simply add a small amount of water and blend then put it in the feezer for 10 minutes. I clean the chopping blade base immediately after blending by running it under hot water. The foam grips are a nice addition too. I really like this. |
