Customers appreciate the food blender's easy cleaning. They find it simple to disassemble and clean, with few parts and an easy build.

Customers have mixed opinions about the blender. Some say it works well for blending and making pesto, smoothies, and vegetables. Others mention that it only works 1/5 times, is not very powerful, and has to readjust what they're blending.

2,043 customers mention "Build quality"1,010 positive1,033 negative

Customers have different views on the food blender's build quality. Some find it solid and well-constructed, made of thick glass that can withstand crushing ice. The motor is powerful enough to make smoothies as long as there is enough liquid in it. Others mention the materials are flimsy and cheaply made, with the lid being just as bad as the rest. They also say the smoothie is thicker and doesn't break up vegetables as easily.

"...I use it daily. It is reliable and sturdy and i prefer the glass jug to plastic. It goes into the dish washer daily and comes out like new...." Read more

"...I thought having a pour spout would be nice, but it just feels so flimsy and cheap and when you use it it's like another messy thing to clean...." Read more

"Useful, just the lid doesn’t hold up well" Read more

1,892 customers mention "Blend power"752 positive1,140 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the blender's blend power. Some find it blends well with lighter ingredients, blending quickly and fast. Others mention it doesn't blend frozen fruit consistently, takes a long time to blend rice, and needs adequate liquids to blend effectively.

"...has milk, yogurt, and frozen fruit, and it is not able to effectively blend that consistently without me having to open it and push the fruit down..." Read more

"...and the other is a little 'flap' that allows you to easily pour in ingredients while blending without worrying about splashing...." Read more

"...Blades won't mix ingredients properly, they stay at the top recesses of blender jars, and blades fail to mix those upper things...." Read more

"...I am glad I picked this one and given the fact it has several options on blending it is really worth the money." Read more

1,118 customers mention "Ice quality"581 positive537 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the food blender's ice quality. Some say it chops frozen fruit and ice easily, while others say it lacks in their expectations for ice-crushing or making smoothies with frozen fruits. The blender blends pretty well but could be better at crushing ice cubes.

"...It blended the ice perfectly and made a great smoothie. You have to really push the top on well and it will pop into place and hold snug...." Read more

"...It's loud yes but most are but it doesn't blend up frozen strawberries! I'm always left with little chunks of the center of them...." Read more

"...I just got it and made the first milkshake. The blender chopped up cookies and chocolate chips that were added to the ice cream and milk...." Read more

"...Putting ice in the blender is completely useless. The blades will not chop up the ice." Read more

1,006 customers mention "Fit"363 positive643 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the blender's fit. Some find it compact and easy to use, with a tight cover that fits nicely. The cleanup is simple and storage is convenient. However, others mention that the lid doesn't fit snugly on top, the glass jar and plastic top were too narrow, and the blender is dirty but small.

"...The one complaint that I have is that the lid is a "B" to get off, it is tight!!..." Read more

"Great looking blender, nice size, but the cord is extremely short which made it difficult to have plugged up and load it at the same time." Read more

"...dont know where the problem lies with this, is it the lid and or flange is too big? or is it the glass jar to thick?...." Read more

"...The lid for some reason pops on really tight. I hope that it loosens a little with more use...." Read more

I love this blender that gets the job done in 1/4 the typical blend time! It’s more powerful & a bit quieter than what I typically use (and I use a lot😉). The lid seals very well, and has a pour spout on top to easily and neatly/cleanly pour. The whole process is much quicker & cleaner. I most often make what I call a Liquid Creamsicle:1 part vanilla bean ice cream2 parts ice3 parts orange sherbetJack Daniels… as much as you like1+ parts waterI originally bought this for my daughter, as an inexpensive replacement to their broken one.

    This thing works great! The one complaint that I have is that the lid is a "B" to get off, it is tight!! But if that is the only complaint then that is pretty minor; I'd rather have it tight as opposed to flying off during use.

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2014
    Size: 40 Oz Glass JarColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I picked this up after being unable to find a blender under $30 in any local stores that had decent reviews (I always check Amazon.com for pricing and reviews before purchasing anything). I had purchased a VERY similar model (same brand, and similar features) on impulse at a local store for right at $30, but decided not to even take it out of the box after reading the reviews on Amazon (my phone was dead when I purchased it, or I would have checked the reviews before pulling the trigger). After a bit of research I came across this unit which was a few dollars less, and is the same brand with almost identical features - so I was surprised that it had so much better reviews, but I figured it was worth the gamble and I needed a new blender for my morning smoothies ASAP (my old one was not working at-all). I never took the other one out of the box, so I can't compare this one to that one - but I can say that I'm very happy with this blender - it works perfectly for what I need it for, and although I have only had it for a few weeks, I haven't had any problems yet and it seems sturdy enough to last for a while. The problem with my last blender was that the gears the connected the motor in the base to the blades in the pitcher were made of rubber or soft plastic, so over the years they eventually got stripped until they were unable to catch each other enough to make the blades spin. During my search, I came across several models that had metal pieces connecting the blades to the motor which seems like it would be ideal. This model uses plastic, however it seems thick and sturdy enough to last a while. The pitcher is also very wide all the way to the bottom. Many blenders have a 'funnel' shaped pitcher that is smaller at the bottom (by the blades), sometimes causing ice or frozen chunks to get caught in the blades which can cause problems with the motor and/or the gears that connect the blades to the motor. Because the bottom of this is so wide, it seems like this happens less frequently because the blades will simply push the frozen chunks aside rather than getting them stuck between the blades and the glass. I rarely used the lid on my old blender, as I don't usually have issues with the ingredients splashing out - however, the lid of this blender has a couple of features that I really like. One is the spout that allows you to more easily pour your smoothies into your cups with less mess/dripping, and the other is a little 'flap' that allows you to easily pour in ingredients while blending without worrying about splashing.

    I've only had this for a few weeks, but so-far it is working very well and I feel confident that it will hold up for a good while. I definitely recommended this for anyone looking for a sturdy, powerful blender in this price range. I'm only withholding the 5th star because I would really like to see metal pieces connecting the blades to the motor instead of plastic - but hopefully this won't be an issue.

    BONUS: DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE RECIPE!

    1. Optionally put 1/2 or 1 full avocado (removed from the skin and separated from the seed/pit) in the blender (depending on how much you are making and/or how creamy and how much avocado flavor you want.
    2. Optionally add a banana to help thicken it up a bit and add some more nutrients
    3. Add 2-3 cups (or your desired amount) of any type of fresh or frozen fruit you like. I especially like peaches, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, and cherries.
    4. Optionally add a scoop of protein powder to add some more nutrients. I use vanilla flavored powder to add a bit of flavor as well. You can also add powdered vitamins such as Airborne, vitamin C, or fiber.
    5. Mix in about a cup or so (depending on how thick you want your smoothie) of juice. I personally prefer fresh squeezed orange or apple juice, but use whatever you like or have available.
    6. Optionally add a half cup or so of GoodBelly, or any other type of probiotic or nutrient rich juice. You can also use wheat grass, or something similar to get some extra nutrients.
    7. Optionally add a half cup or so of kefir or a few spoonfuls of yogurt. I prefer either vanilla or berry flavored kefir which adds some probiotics to your drink, and a bit of sweetness and flavor. Obviously you can leave this out if you prefer a dairy-free smoothie.
    8 Start blending the ingredients on low, then turn it up to medium once the big chunks start to break down.
    9. Optionally add a couple tablespoons of agave nectar, or honey as a natural sweetener. You shouldn't need much, especially if you used sweet juice or flavored yogurt. I prefer raw light agave nectar, and just a couple of squirts is enough.
    10. Optionally, add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract, or other natural oil or extract for additional nutrients.
    11. Blend on medium until it begins to 'fold' (you should basically have a smoothie funnel/tornado) - if this doesn't happen within a minute or so, it may be too thick and you may need to add some more juice (or use a thicker straw). Then you are ready to drink. Taste a bit with a spoon or straw first, and add more ingredients as desired to get the perfect texture and taste before pouring.
    12. Rinse the pitcher and lid with hot water right away to ensure you have a clean blender to use the next morning.

    This may seem like a lot of steps, but once you do it a few times it takes less than 5 minutes to have a healthy and delicious breakfast that you can drink on your way to work. I always make enough to share with my kids, so I know everyone gets a nice dose of fruit, protein and vitamins each morning. Give it a try, and you will probably be hooked! Enjoy...

    This is a great blender for the price. I wanted a blender to make smoothies in but I didn't want to spend a ton of money on one since I wont use it every day. I tried it the first time with fresh fruit and made fruit juice. I added a small amount of water and it made the perfect fruit juice. Next I made a protein smoothie with lots of fruit, peanut butter, etc. It blended the ice perfectly and made a great smoothie. You have to really push the top on well and it will pop into place and hold snug. It is nice that it has a spout to pour your drink out from and cleaning it is really easy. I rinse it right after I mix something so it doesn't get stuck on making it harder to clean. I am glad I picked this one and given the fact it has several options on blending it is really worth the money.

    This new blender is relatively lightweight compared to my old blender, and that is a nice feature. I just got it and made the first milkshake. The blender chopped up cookies and chocolate chips that were added to the ice cream and milk. The end result was a very smooth milkshake with no chunks of any kind, not even small crumbs of cookie or chocolate. My family couldn't even tell that items were added to the ice cream.
    Another nice feature is that the buttons are labeled for what you want to make. For me, I hit the first button labeled 'Milkshake' and let it blend for maybe 30 or 40 seconds. The result was 3x6oz glasses of creamy milkshake.
    This is a very nice blender. Simple to use. Lightweight. Efficient. And it has an electric cord that can manually retract out of or in to the base for when it's time to put it away.

    Me gustó mucho, es muy sencilla de utilizar, le compré a mi mamá una Ninja que le batalla mucho para acomodar el vaso y definitivamente me dijo que le buscara otra, y le encargué esta y súper bien, como nos gusta con las 3B, buena, bonita y barata
