Best Yet 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This one I was very skeptical about however after using it for two months I am sold.

My kids make between two to five pounds of snow with it daily for their juice drinks and it still works as smoothly as when we took it out of the box.

Ice cream, sorbet, almond butter, chicken salad, pancake batter, iced coffee, spinach souffle', bread crumbs, health beverages, etc all have come out great.

The only wish I have is that there was a second pitcher and two sets of each type of blade.

The Kitchen Aid Pro Blender and the Food Processor have stayed in the dungeon under the corner cabinett since the Ninja was unpacked. It is now the most used appliance in my kitchen besides the microwave and the coffee maker.

A Real Gem 5 out of 5 stars.

I must say I was skeptical since this is shown on tv infomercials but this Ninja performs exactly as they say it does. It is very powerful and I can understand why this is the go to chopper/blender. It is so handy and easy to use. If you're thinking about buying it don't hesitate any longer - you will not be disappointed. So often products touted on tv rarely perform but this little gem is a winner.

You get what you pay for and a little more! 4 out of 5 stars.
17 of 18 people found this review helpful.

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.

Great product, don't waste your money on anything else! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The "Back to Basics" blender is a great product. My wife and I were looking for a small blender to use with our "Medifast" diet plan and this one filled the bill and more! There is no need to spend more for other products like the "Magic Bullet" when this blender does the job for less! It is really simple to use. For a shake or a smoothie the cups are marked as how much to add (liquid/ice etc.), attach the cup to the blade base and tighten onto the motor and blend! You can either put on the "to-go" drinking top or a drinking rim and you're done. We've been using this on a daily basis (4-5 times a day) for a month now and have had no problems at all. We highly recommend this product!

As the name suggests, it's good for basics 3 out of 5 stars.

This machine is OK, as long as you don't need it for something hard to blend (e.g: Ice cubes). The blades are not very sharp, and the size is smaller than what I expected. You can't rely on it to grind effectively, but it's still good in making juices and mixes.

If you seek something 'basic', this blender should be your choice.

Editorial Review:

This 11-Piece set is quick to assemble, easy to clean and convenient to store. It grinds, blends, whips, and chops.

Disapointment 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

While the blender worked it was awesome. Problem is, it only worked 31 days. 1 day over the amazon return policy. As other reviewers have mentioned, I cold detect the smell of an electrical fire, saw a little smoke, and that was it... DOA.

I have returned the product to Cuisinart, but now after they have had it for 3 1/2 weeks, have been informed that may take from 4-8 weeks to either replace or return the item.

I purchased the blender because I prefer the larger glass bowl, and it did an excellent job of processing the food. It is very loud on the high settings.

Editorial Review:

With the CuisinartPowerEdge700-Blender, you can make tasty smoothies and great drinks or create gourmet soups and sauces. This blender is the ideal combination of power and performance with our new Power6 Turbo-Edge blade designed to crush ice, puree and mix with maximum efficiency. The timing will always be perfect with a built-in Count-UpTimer, and a great smoothie is just 30-second away with the pre-programmed Smoothie function. The 56-ounce. blender jar and lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

too bad this doesn't work better 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The concept is great but the mechanics of the design are fatally flawed. I got one of these and it worked fine, and so I ordered a few as gifts. Most of them don't work, and the main problem is the way the bottle interacts with the base. This is made even worse by bad workmanship. The tabs pop out, the links don't connect, etc. It is very frustrating to have gifts fail to work. I ordered one for my daughter; it won't work at all; I ordered another, and its tabs jump off. This needs a technical re-design to be a reliable and satisfactory product to live up to the good idea.

Equipped with a powerful 500-watt motor, this professional-grade countertop blender works great for parties or everyday use in the kitchen. The appliance provides six stainless-steel blades, two of which are serrated, for chopping, crushing, and blending. So whether it's liquefying frounceen fruit, whipping up creamy smoothies, or making pureed soups, the blender can handle the toughest blending chores, even crushing ice. In addition, its simple control dial makes it easy to choose from four settings that include, low, high, pulse, and off. The blender also comes with a large 48-ounce glass jar, which offers a generous handle, a drip-free spout, and a tight-fitting plastic cover with a removable filter cap for adding ingredients during operation. Other highlights include a brushed stainless-steel base, a safety lock, non-slip feet, and an embossed Kalorik logo. The jar washes up quickly by hand, and the base can be wiped clean as needed. The blender measures 7-1/4 by 7-1/4 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Turbo 4500 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 14 people found this review helpful.

The TurboBlend 4500 is a 2-speed (high and low) machine. The Vitamix 5000 is a (high and variable) speed machine. The variable speed dial on the Vitamix 5200 enables the user to adjust to a slower blending speed than the TurboBlend 4500. Both machines have a 2+ peak hp motor.
The TurboBlend 4500 is sold through Retail Dealers and the Vitamix 5200 is sold directly through Vitamix.The two Vitamix models 5000 and Super 5000 have a center variable speed dial, which I feel is not worth the price.

The variable speed is seldom used! Even in their own manual,

Vita-Mix gives this recipe for smoothies:

"Select variable speed #1. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10; then to High. Run for 1 minute until smooth."
Well, that's the same as flipping the 4500 switch from low to high. When you flip the 5000 to high, the variable switch is no longer active.
Why pay $75 more to turn a dial? I'm happy to flip a switch up.

Editorial Review:

Vita-Mix TurboBlend 4500 is a heavy-duty, commercial-quality blender that delivers optimum performance and power. Superior engineering strengthens each part, ensuring a product that will last.

Not the CR pick 3 out of 5 stars.
18 of 24 people found this review helpful.

The previous reviewer is mistaken. This is not the CR model that was rated highly. Furthermore, CR objects to its reviews being used commercially. There is a model of Oster that fits the parameters listed by the previous review, however I would urge any consumer to get the CR issue in question and make sure the proper model number is the one they buy.

CR winner 5 out of 5 stars.
