  I just received the product today. Tried it out. Well, divergent to the previous review, i reckon this will wake up even the sleeping neighbors! I don’t know if its just my cut(I hope not). Its a small scary each time i push that pulse button!!

  I bought this product to make smoothies and milkshakes. I use frozen fruit and while the product works well, I must chop up larger peices of frozen fruit before blending. Overall I would buy this product again, it is very convenient.

  I’m a release guy and bought this soley to make smoothies and milk shakes and it does a splendid and quick job blending these! I don’t chop ice or anything else. If the recipe calls for ice, as Orange Julius, I simply add a small amount of water and blend then place it in the feezer for 10 minutes. I clean the chopping blade base immediately after blending by running it under hot water. The foam grips are a nice addition too. I really like this.

  I have bought three of these and I reckon I am going to buy another. The last three still work. The first one was designed a small differently, more like the Magic Bullet. The last two are like the picture with the push button. The first I had gotten for my daughter when she went out. Well she went back in so I got to use it. I like it for protein shakes. Then I bought two more one for me and one for my sister. Well the son went out so he got the oldest one. The daughter went out so she got the one that was here that we were using. The third one was a gift to my sister. Now I don’ have one here and I wanted to get away from the three tabs only because sometimes they are hard to slide in. After conception all the reviews I chose that for the price you cannot beat it. It comes with more blending cups than any of the others. Once you get used to using it, you will find out what works and what doesn’t. The pulse button is splendid, just like a large blender you are not supposed to let it run frenziedly. Unless the Magic Bullet has changed design you have to turn the whole cup and then turn to stop so hard to pulse. It also has the three tabs. I have used the Magic Bullet so this is from first hand experience.

  Pros -
  
  1. Price
  
  2. 300 watt motor
  
  3. Number of cups included
  
  4. Pulse button
  
  5. Consumer Service at the company is really excellent.

  Cons
  
  1. Cups are probably not dishwasher safe. I have had some leak in the seam, so I stopped putting them in the dishwasher. I did contact the manufacturer and they did send me two replacement cups (including useless travel lids and gray rings) I just had to pay shipping $4.95. They did report the problem so possibly there will be a fix. I also thought it might be caused by the whole ice cubes pulsing against the sides.

  Neutral
  
  1. The gray rings, not sure what their purpose is. They are too small to insulate, I don’t hold the cup at the top to drink. Don’t really get it. Would rather see another cup or a refrigerator lid.

  If you are using ice, you have to use a liquid. I don’t really reckon it is loud. if you are crushing ice it will be loud no matter what blender you are using. You only blend for seconds, so no huge deal to me.

  Now that I have written a novel, I hope that it will help someone choose.

  the blender has worked really well for making smooties/shakes. it even processes vegetables well for the baby, the vegetables must be boiled first though. it does not handle so well when chopping fruit unless there is a liquid of some sort for it to chop it with. (i wanted to dice some fruit w/o liquid, and it did not do a excellent job) other then that, i am very lucky with this buy. its a splendid price compared to the magic bullet.
