Best smoothies ever!
Date of Review: Jun 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you like smoothies and frozen drinks, this is a great blender, just don't expect it to save the world.
I bought this blender after having used it at a friend's house. I was looking for something to make smoothies in and this does the trick.
I know this product doesn't have the greatest reviews, but you have to consider what you will use it for and how often.
I for one, use it every day to make a breakfast smoothie. To me, the convenience and ease of this product made it worth its $60 price tag. I wasn't looking for a miracle blender that I would use for a variety of tasks. I have chopped vegetables in it a few times, but I mostly just make smoothies!
This blender is very easy to use. You put your ingredients in one of the cups, screw the desired blade on (one for blending, one for chopping) and press it down into the machine. It only takes a few seconds to mix.
It's easy to clean because it is so small. It chops whole ice cubes way better than my big blender does. I've had it for about 6 months and it still works perfectly even after every day use.
Good smoothie recipe: 1 cup yogurt, 1 cup frozen fruit, fill the rest up with milk.
Good Pina Colada recipe: 1.5 shots of rum, 1/4 cup pineapple (add a little juice too), 1 shot coconut milk
