Burned out the motor after 6 months - NYC gal, May 18, 2008

Another shameless throw-away item that is built not to last. In this age of environmental melt-down, manufacturers have a responsibility to step up and produce lasting goods, not ones like this cheap blender that breaks after 30 uses and ends up in the landfill forever!

My mother had an Oster that lasted 40 years or more - now THAT is manufacturing integrity. (I do not work for Oster.) But I do believe the earth can no longer ingest all the throw-away garbage we are buying and tossing out because this cheap junk is built to break, not to last.

Shame on them for making this junk and shame on us for buying it.

Perfect for senior citizen - A. Pioppi, May 02, 2008

My 92-year-old mother loves making smoothies with this blender! Not too difficult for her to operate.

Price is great... but - Dain Ehring, Apr 26, 2008

I had a bullet but decided on this because of reviews and price. The good of it is its size, simplicity, and price. The bad of it is the low power of the motor (although I was able to blend ice so it does what i need) and while the attached blade makes the design simpler it is easy for food to get under the blade and then not blended. for example you learn to put the milk in first *then* the protein and fruit.

Best Money spent - Nicholas J. Preston, Apr 25, 2008

I never write reviews for a product, but this one made me. I have had this product for about 3 months and use it twice a day. It makes the best protein shakes you have ever had. If you are looking for a great shake maker, look no further. Its small but still can make a double shake no problem. Add some chocolate protein and a frozen bananna and its better than frosty from wendys, I kid you not. Awesome product dont hesitate to purchase.

Tiny and rather powerful - Jerushah Williams, Apr 21, 2008

This is pretty good for a mini blender. Start off putting in liquids first before adding solids like fruit or powders. I don't know how it would deal with ice, it really doesn't look powerful enough for that. If you'd like a slushy, try freezing your fruit first instead of using ice cubes.

I do find that the lower mechanical portion is rather hard to clean, which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5.
