Blenders

I LOVE this personal blender. I use it daily, as do my husband and son. We each make our own morning shakes with frozen fruit, milk and protein powder. It's nice that we can choose our own ingredients, so I can make mine with almond milk and flax, and my son can use regular milk and his favorite frozen berries. The cups that come with the blender don't hold a lot of ingredients, so I bought the XL cups on the side. I also bought more travel lids, since we take our smoothies with us. I have not found anything the blender won't blend. We've blended ice, frozen fruit, fresh fruit and vegetables (great for making omelets!) and have added many different kinds of liquid to it. It literally takes less than a minute to create your own smoothie and at a fraction of the cost of the smoothie joints. The cups say that they must be hand washed, and they do clean up just fine with hot water and a dab of soap, but I have run them in the dishwasher with no adverse effects."..."  Read more

I was looking at purchasing a KitchenA** Pro Series or Cuisin*** Stand Mixer, [$]( I burnt/broke my HSN Wolfgang P*** Stand Mixer)My Blender was 10 years old and worn out and gunky from lots of Margaritas. I really did not understand how the mixerbowl worked but I decided to give the Mix Blend a try. I am able to make cookie dough which is what I most wanted it for. The Blender portion is incredible-1000 watts of power makes Commercial Grade Smoothies at home-my kids who wont eat fruit request banana-strawberry smoothies everyday now. I have seen this brand in use at a National Chain ([...]) Makes a killer frozen Margarita. Clean up is a breeze and digital read out is easy to follow and makes it nearly impossible to make a mistake. It makes a lot of bread dough, Three loaves my first batch, but I really only need a stand mixer to make cake batter and mix cookie dough which I have gotten to lazy to mix by hand. I replaced two broken worn out appliances, saving [$] cash and even more valuable counter space! What a great deal. The packaging appeared to have been opened and resealed-White foam which surrounded unit was broken and taped up. The DVD which was included was for a older version of the unit but I got the idea. Visiting the manufactures web site was helpful."..."  Read more

I am actually very impressed with the blender itself. The blender jar is a very tough, thick, and durable glass (perfect for a blonde klutzy destructible force like me). On one side of the jar, it gives measurements for cups and ounces, while on the other side, it gives liter measurements. This is very handy for a recipe stickler…not me…but for someone who is of course. The blades in the jar seem to be pretty durable, sharp, and strong. They are long and have crushed up our over-frozen ice cream into perfectly creamy milky mixtures. Just think…with this Crush Master, I can crush ice and make smoothies! This will go over very well during the three days of our Northwest summer when everyone is salivating for an icy smoothie."..."  Read more

I am a raw food chef and this personal blender is just the right size for salad dressings, making cheeses, desserts, grinding nuts. It is great when I travel to make smoothies and energy drinks. It is very easy to clean. Love the different sized container jars with lids that comes with it. Can make a personal size drink and store it immediately in the fridge. Researched other personal blenders, this one is worth it."..."  Read more
