Almost the Greatest! 4 out of 5 stars.

I have NEVER had a blender that could make a great smoothie. Always chunks of frozen fruit, blocks of ice, but if I leave this easy to use off-on machine on long enough, it about gets it done. It a beautiful color, easy to clean, no leaking (yet) and hopefully the blade rotor on the underside will hold up -- I've had this part go on 100% of blenders. I'll know next year!
Should have gone with my first impulse. 3 out of 5 stars.

I tried a Cuisinart blender at a friends house and was impressed by the way it absolutely destroyed ice in a frozen drink. Reveiws of this product on Amazon, however, disuaded me from buying it and instead persuaded me to buy the Hamilton Beach. It doesn't work as well and leaves small chunks of ice in the drink despite 30 seconds of "blending" and "pulsing".
Was below-average for a while, then jammed 2 out of 5 stars.

I received this blender for x-mas last year. It has some nice design features (good heavy base to prevent tipping, measuring cup built into the cap). However, I experienced the same problems that others here have -- the blender doesn't do well with anything thick like milkshakes. It just shoves everything against the sides of the pitcher and spins helplessly, forcing you to stop and manual stir everything back towards the blades and restart. While it worked OK for a while, the cutter unit mysteriously jammed after about 9 months.
