Blenders

pros: It's heavy duty and works well. I make smoothies as my primary use for the blender and add a handful of spinach. The blender really blends the green leaves into nothing, there are no little green pieces left. Easy clean. One piece container is easy to squirt some liquid soap in and water and blend on stir to clean the blades. I also use a dish scrub brush to clean the insides of the container and lid. Blenders really only need a low and high speed. Kitchen aid one has a couple more options for speed, but way less than many other blenders that confuse you with thinking the buttons really do something. cons: It is loud. I can stand it but my kids complain. The base is heavy. So it's nice to be able to have counter space to keep it. But the heaviness is a nice comfort knowing it's heavy duty and works. I wanted a blender that I didn't have to stop every time to mix up with a spoon. I still have to do that with this one. I think that I just need to add more liquid. But somethings I don't want more liquid added so it's a pain to have to keep using a spoon. Kind of smells. I hoped that it would go away and just be a new product kind of smell. But I've had it for almost 6 months and it still smells..."..."  Read more

This blender does SO MUCH. Since we've got it, we've been making smoothies every morning. This blender actually heats up its contents for easy soups. You could probably blend elk bones into a fine powder, (if thats your thing). We choose to make almond butter instead. It comes with a really large binder with tips and a recipe book, and we've just been so impressed since we opened the box. GREAT PRODUCT! We've been using it a lot and I expect it to last for quite awhile."..."  Read more

I purchased the blender because of the powerful motor and the glass container and the price is unbelievable...however the blender does take awhile to chop up the frozen fruit I don't mind waiting because it eventually gets the job done."..."  Read more

Very powerful. I bought it to make baby food...kicks butt at that. Sometimes it gets to going so fast that I literally have to hold it down on the counter to keep it from "jogging" off. Makes the best soft serve ice cream. Not as good at mixing dry ingredients, but really no blender is."..."  Read more
