Cuisinart - SPB-600MR SmartPower Deluxe Blender-Metallic - Metallic Red

So far, so good. It works like a charm, and is super powerful. Only thing I'm a little concerned about is last week, the motor smelled like it was overheated on only the third use. Time will tell.

Love This Blender! The Ninja and the Vitamix were at the top of my list but not wanting a plastic blender, Ninja was out and not wanting to spend $500+, Vitamix was out. That left me with a few options, including this Cuisinart. Has heavy and durable glass pitcher, everything fits together smoothly and it looks great. My main concern was "Does it blend dressing?" YES! It does fast,amazing job blending my honey mustard, and marinades,. Next, "Will it blend ice?Frozen fruit?" YES! I made slushies in under a minute using big, honking square icecubes from freezer! Frozen, whole strawberries whipped up, NO Chunks! My 14 year old uses it all the time and cleaning is easy. Put some soap and hot water in and blend it up.

needed a blender for making smoothies. easy to clean with a min amount of parts. works just fine

This blender has lived up to all my expectations. It is attractive, easy to clean, easy to take apart and put back together, and blends ice quickly, easily and thoroughly. Worth every penny that I paid for it.

Replaced blender to add to the RED accents in my kitchen. Use daily for smooties and the ice crushing setting is super!!!

This blender replaced a Montgomery Ward blender that's been in my family for 35+ years. That blender still worked, but it took a lot of coaxing. I am using this blender about 5 times a week for smoothies. It blends the ice cubes in about 20 seconds, and that's not even using the "ice crush" button! I have only had the blender 3 or 4 months. I'm not expecting 35 years, but 10 would be nice.

works well good price It is a great color and does not take up alot of room.

Sturdy, good looking blender. Does a good job but not the best for smoothies when using frozen fruit blending with milk or yougurt etc... The base seems a little large for the power offered. The power and blending buttons dont seem stable enough to last as long as you would expect. This blender does the job, but not as well as it should. When all is said and done, you really cant buy an above average smoothie blender for less than $90. I would only reccommend this blender if simple blending was more important than making smoothies and advanced foods needing blending
