What Others Say
Not what I expected
Though Factory-Reconditioned Cuisinart CBT-500FR Brushed Stainless Power Blender has a lot of power I have 2 concerns about it. There isn't a very good spout for pouring therefore you do have to improvise if you don't want the drink all over the counter. The one that concerns me most is that the glass does not disconnect from the base for cleaning, therefore a residue is trapped beetween the two of them. You can see this film (I think of it as bacteria) but you can't get to it.
Patience Is a Virtue
The people who complained about difficulty pouring from the pitcher are correct, it can be messy. The blender is loud, but it does the job IF you allow it time to work.
If you are impatient, you will be frustrated by an incomplete job. I use mine for frozen daiquiris and the result is excellent, but slow.
So in a nutshell: thorough; noisy; slow.
Reconded blender
A very nice blender and it looks new. Very powerful, the price was good, and free shipping. No complaints.
grrrreeeeeaaaaatttttt!
this is an awesome blender. I bought it for $34 in reconditioned form. The item came as if it were (maybe it was) brand new!! Everything was clean, not used, individually wrapped in plastic packages. You can tell it has a strong motor and it does a wonderful job blending, crushing, etc. The bottom of the pitcher is plastic although it looks silver. The base is stainless. Great product for what i paid for it!!!! Would highly recommend!
Like new
Product like new. We broke our glass pitcher on ours and it was only a little more to buy an entire reconditioned blender than ordering a new glass pitcher.
