What Others Say
It's not 56 ounces!
I received this, realized it was only 48 ounces even though it's advertised as 56 ounces, returned it, it apparantly got lost in the mail, so I lost my $47 without anything to show because PresentsForYou says it's not in their warehouse. Not a good experience.
Horrible design
I just got done using this piece of junk and am so annoyed by it's design that I'm going out of my way to review it negetively. The "wave-action" design is what makes it so bad. Yes, it helps to mix things up better....but also forces the liquid to shoot up toward the lid. If you want to take the lid off to add things as it is running (like everyone i know who uses a blender) it shoots the liquid mixture out and all over the counter. I've never had any other blender where i could not remove the top to add things while it was running. You've got to be able to add things (like powders) AFTER it is running or else they will stick to the sides of the inside of the blender. Horrible design. I can't wait until it breaks.
Great Smoothie Maker, Great Price!
I searched for a blender for awhile. The price ranges were all over the place. I finally decided to get this little guy because it's lightweight, offered a "wave" action and was inexpensive. I absolutely love it! I previously had a Kenmore (much heavier, much more expensive) and not even that could crush the frozen fruit up as well as this model. Very light, easy to use. There are three "high end" buttons for smoothies, crushed ice and milkshakes. Blends fast and well. Cleaning was fast and easy. I like the fact the base can be taken apart so you can wash all the parts. The wave motion is as advertised and really blended a great smoothie.
careful of the bottom part
yes, it crushes ice really well, but the screw-on bottom can be VERY messy if you accidentally get it loose while taking the blender off the base. Everything just comes gushing out the bottom. It's not bad, but I would have perferred something with a one-piece bottom.
Great blending, even ice!
Just got mine and my biggest test is always ice! I made a smoothie and it crushed up the ice along with everything else. Glad I took a chance and bought this one!
