Cheap Vita-Mix 1320 Professional Series, Platinum

Posted by eleanora | Posted in , , , , , , | Posted on 11:11 PM


As a fan of Consumer Reports, I had seen the Vitamix as their top rated blender, but could not swallow the high price tag. With that in mind, i bought the highest rated blender that was under $100. After having two different blenders die in the last 18 months, I decided to try the Vitamix with its 7 year warranty. I bought the machine based on expectations of improved durability; but I am amazed at the difference in performance. The ability to blend drinks made with large amounts of ice cubes to such a smooth consistancy is incredible. Very easy to clean and not too noisy. Nice to know that it is made in the USA too. The one word of caution is that it is large (taller than most blenders), so if you leave it on the counter (like I do), you need counterspace; it may not fit in the area under your cabinets.Get more detail about Vita-Mix 1320 Professional Series, Platinum.

We got it from a friend as a house-warming gift. We thought it was given at a perfect time since our baby girl was on the way. Yes, it smelt like smoke every single time it was used. We probably used it 5 days a week, once a day to puree our baby girl's food. And it lasted 6 months! Today is the day it died. We urgently need a new blender, that's why we saw and read this comment. The writer is absolutely correct. DON't BUY IT! IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!Get more detail about Oster 6808 Core 10-Speed Blender, White.

I was worried a refurbished blender would be short lived but I am happy to say it's been working fine for me since day one. It is very powerful and liquifies anything you put in it. It is loud but then again, that comes with the power. Good solid glass makes it a bit top heavy and you have to be careful moving it since it doesn't snap in place like the plastic blenders do. Good price and good quality. Get more detail about Refurbished Waring Pro WPB09 Professional Bar Blender, Black.

I see alot of bad reviews and am puzzled by them. I am a bartender and have used most of the commercial product used in bars so I know how to mix them just right after 13 years doing. I think most of the bad reviews come from the fact that the directions are not very helpful with recopies. The drinks I mix come out very creamy and smooth, just about as good as an Oasis machine. The problem people are having with the margaritas is that after you put in the sour mix and alcohol it will dilute the ice significantly. I start with ice to the fill line, about 24 ounces of margarita mix and 1/12 half cups teq. Blend for about 5 min and add about two more cups of ice then blend it for 5 more min. They sold come out thick and smooth with hardly any ice crystal, The extra ice keeps the mix cold thick. It works so well I have gotten 3friends to purchaser, The only drawback I see is it does alot of dripping from the spigot after pouring a few, but it is to Get more detail about Nostalgia MSB-585 Margarator 1-Gallon Margarita-Making Machine.

I have owned & rented over 15 of these machines. We have had the 1 & 2 bowl systems. We do not have very many problems with the machine & I think $800 is a great price. If you use the correct mix & limit the liquor, you will have faster freezing times. It may take 90 minutes for the first batch & 30 for each additional. If you cool all of the supplies & store the liquor in the freezer you will get better turnaround times.Get more detail about Granita Margarita Dispenser.

Well... I bought this to replace my Back-To-Basics Elite smoothie maker that broke after 5 YEARS! ( Now that should be awarded 5 stars!!). I decided to try something new... It's ok. It is quieter, and the auto-pour feature is nice, but after using 3 times, it now has a pretty fast drip when you leave some smoothie in the pitcher. I have to keep a cup under it or it makes a big mess. If that had not happened, I would have given 5 starsGet more detail about West Bend 76630 Autoserve II 56-Ounce Smoothie Maker with Dispensing Button.

The other day, I was blending for a pie and trying to make sure the lid was on snug, so I wouldn't throw pumpkin all over the walls. My thumb touched the plastic cap in the center and it fell in, ground up and got little minced plastic cap all in my pie mix.

So, Beware. The Oster blenders either have a rubber square lid or a rubber cloverleaf lid, but all of them have that same plastic cap in the center. The rubber lid bends and the cap has all the room in the world to drop through.

Oster has always made great kitchen products. That is why it came as something of a disappointment to see such a shoddy design. Get more detail about Oster 6642 12-Speed Blender, White.

The Hamilton Beach HBB250S is a nice machine that does a solid job of blending. It doesn't move while blending juices or smoothies, because the base is solid and stays put;I like that.

Drinks remain cool, since the blender cup is steel. One thing, I put in about 6 ice cubes and one small piece did not blend completely. Even so, this beats my other blender by miles. I am satisfied with the Hamilton Beach HBB250S;it is much better than any I've ever owned.Get more detail about Hamilton Beach HBB250S Commercial Rio Bar Blender with 32-Ounce Stainless-Steel Container, Black.

We make a lot of smoothies and icees and this blender blends ice better than any blender I have seen. It is even better than the smoothies in our mall. The ice has an almost silky tecture that is fantastic. I think it is the specialized way the container and blade is shape cause all of the ice is pulled down. We are saving a lot of money making our own drinks with just ice and fruit than paying $5 and $8 a drink elsewhere. This is especially good since my wife and I are grad students and we don't have the extra money anyways but we do like iced drinks during our studies. We don't make sauces or anything else with this blender and it isn't a household multi purpose blender but it is great at making drinks.Get more detail about Hamilton Beach HBB250 Commercial Rio Bar Blender with 44-Ounce Polycarbonate Container, Black.

Lowest Price Maxi-Matic SMO-713 Elite Cuisine 2-Speed 450-Watt Smoothie Maker, White

Posted by eleanora | Posted in , , , , , , | Posted on 10:11 PM


Don't waste your money on this blender. I make smoothies several times a week and needed a new blender so I tried this one. The jar leaked the first time I used it then got worse every time I tried it. the liquid would leak down over the blades then down the sides of the blender to puddle on the counter. It made a huge mess. The blades can be removed from the jar, so they never completely seal when you put them back in. Spend a little more money for a brand you recognize and don't waste your money on this blender -- you'll just end up throwing it away like I did.Get more detail about Maxi-Matic SMO-713 Elite Cuisine 2-Speed 450-Watt Smoothie Maker, White.

I was hoping to get an appliance that would allow me to make smoothies, sauces, gravies, and soups. Thus far, it's done all those things very well, leaving no chunky matter in the final mix. The only potential trouble is that the blade is relatively shallow, which forces you to have quite a bit of liquid in order for it to blend properly. While it won't make a paste, it does a very good job of making creamy drinks, and dips.Get more detail about Hamilton Beach HBF400 Commercial High-Performance Food Blender, Silver.

Completely agree with Phil. The plastic parts where the top pot and the base meet, have worn out within 2 months. There is no plastic anymore. And the chopper stands useless.

This blender went out after less than 2 years. We rarely used it for making the kids shakes and even then you would have to stop it and push the ice cream down into the blades. I pureed some tomatos last week and now it's dead. I think the motor fried because I took it apart and everything was still connected. Just a typical blender that is cheaply built.Get more detail about Hamilton Beach 50639 Stay or Go 10-Speed Blender, White.

Purchase BLENDER 600W SMART POWER

0

Posted by eleanora | Posted in , , , , , | Posted on 10:11 PM


I bought this blender at Bed Bath & Beyond. It was about $100 and looked to be more powerful and heavier than the Kitchen Aid 5 model. I also preferred the mechanical connection between the base and the blade. The power is transferred by two gear-type things that have several teeth that mesh together. The Kitchen Aid models had what looked like a two ended wing nut that matched up with only two of the teeth of the base. I had read reviews on Epinions about the 5 models breaking off these teeth and not being repairable. So I disregarded the 5's $20 rebate and opted for the Cuisinart.

Performance:
Well I've had it for a few days and it's working great. I've been mostly making frozen drinks so the ice crushing capability is important. The unit is very heavy, which makes it feel very stable when running. I find that a big plus because I don't want something with 600 watts to be walking around all over my countertops. It comes apart easily and also cleans up pretty easily.

It's only got two speeds but that seems to be adequate for most anything. There's an Ice Crusher setting but I haven't tried that yet, since the regular settings have worked fine for this.

Design:
It looks great. It took me a little time to get used to the plastic handle but I eventually decided that I liked this better than the integrated glass handles on other mixers. I guess I figure that they could too easily break if they fell over on a tile counter. Don't know this for a fact but I'm sure the plastic would handle it better. I like the metal base as it feels well made and solid.

The plastic ring around the base of the container feels a little plasticy but that's what it is made of so I guess that's just the way it is.

I'm in the market for a new blender. I wanted something powerful enough to pulverize ice. Also, I wanted something I wouldn't have to turn off, stir, then turn back on to get the ice crushed and the smoothie, well, smooth.

This blender did not pulverize the ice, and after some constant on/off stirring, the smoothie finally got liquidized. However, the top remains did not get sucked to the bottom of the blender.

Honestly, I only used it for the one smoothie and I plan on returning it today. It may be great for other things, but for smoothies it is not.Get more detail about Oster 6831 Core 10-Speed Blender, Red.
