Blenders

I bought this blender for my boyfriend who complained regularly about our plastic-pitcher pretty-cheap blender. He's been making lots of smoothies, aka "protein shakes" and was frustrated with the smell of burning rubber that came with any heavy duty usage and a blade that was terrifying to clean. So, I took Cooks Illustrated recommendation and purchased this AMAZING blender. It's simple (has three settings), has six really easy to clean blades, and a very sturdy glass pitcher. In addition to smoothies and shakes I'm fully confident that this blender can handle hummus, pestos, summer time margaritas, etc.!"..."  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 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
