Customers admire the Velocity Ultra Trio 56-Oz. Blender/Food Processor for its ease of use, power, and multi-functionality.

While some customers find it to be loud, many are pleased with its price and space-saving design.
I needed a blender and a food processor. As I live alone, I didn't need a huge capacity device. I also didn't want to take up unnecessary space on the counter. The Cuisinart Velocity Trio fit all of my requirements. Small foot print, reasonable capacity, and multifunction all-in-one blender/food processor. This is a very capable unit. It is a very smart buy in my book.

I have used Blenders sparingly in my life so when I went to purchase one I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this one. The good: The food processing part works great. I used it to make salsa and it turned out great. Clean up is easy. Smoothies are actual smoothies. While people complain about the containers being plastic I find them easier to manage and lighter. The plastic seems to be of high quality although if you drop stuff I would expect they wouldn't last long. It absolutely shreds ice and anything I put into it. The base is wide, and I have yet to notice any sway or movement while in use. The use of it is straightforward with easy to understand instructions. Cons: It is loud...and I mean obnoxiously loud. However I have not heard many that are not loud. I am willing to deal with the noise because of the productivity and price of the unit. Food processing blade is ultra sharp. I don't think this is a con but they do not supply a sleep for storage of the blade. With minimal effort it will slice skin. I ended up taking a piece of cardboard and making a sleeve for it.

I went in looking for an inexpensive blender/food processor combo and was disappointed that what I'm looking for is pricier than I wanted to spend. I decided that this model was close to what I want, and the least expensive. So, I bought it on that criteria alone. I have never regretted it. This is a sturdy machine, it's easy to clean and it suits my needs perfectly. I make a smoothie every morning, and the two smoothie cups it comes with are just right. It can handle crushing ice with no problem. And, the food processor works well, too. My only complaint is that the processor bowl is a little small. All in all, though, I'm very happy with my purchase.
