Advantages: Easy to operate and clean.Very efficient. Disadvantages: No retractable cord. But that's not really a disadvantage.
...for a smoothie maker. This Oster 14 speed blender is a dream compared.
I was lucky and found it marked down at a local Wal-Mart and paid $34.99 for this blender. So far, I am positive I am going to get my money's worth.
It came unassembled including the following:
One 5 cup Dishwasher-Safe glass Jar
One leak-proof lid
One feeder cap which also doubles as a 2 oz. measuring cup
The base with motor
Sealing ring
Ice Crush Blade
Jar bottom
One ... ...the price was outstanding. I believe in the Oster name. I'm looking forward to experimenting with sauces and gravies. I would recommend this blender to anyone who wants a good, affordable, reliable blender.
I like to research appliances I buy. Here's a handy website I used:

Advantages: good with ice cream, veggies, blending eggs Disadvantages: does not do cheese real good or large ice
This was actually a gift. When I saw it the first thing I thought of is that I am getting junk and someone should have bought me the magic bullet. Now I have not tried to use this for everything to challenge it yet, but it has done pretty good with the majority of the stuff that I have put into it. You get the 200 watt power mixer itself with this four mugsand edges along with a little cup to put something small like cheese in. You also get lids ... ...You basically load up put it upside down then press the juice and you are in business. Turn it back over remove the blade and drink. It handles pretty good, Milk shakes, protein shakes, smoothies, and coffee drinks with ice mixed in. I also chopped up peppers, tomatoes, onions and the like. It worked ok with chees, but not as good as the magic bullett. It also does not crush normal sized ice cubes as good as the magic bullet. Like I said This was ...

Advantages: esay to use and clean,fast,durable Disadvantages: loud
I have bought this Haier HB500BSS 2 Speed blender since my last one was died before two months. As a person who makes smoothies and fruit juice in daily life for the last several years I am always looking for a good, sturdy, long lasting blender. After seeing some positive reviews, I decided to buy it. It is not fancy but just works great. It has served us well for the many smoothies we have made. I make my standard smoothie only take 6 seconds. ... ...jar, flip the switch, just a moment, you will have a perfectly blended drink. The big stainless steel base is nicely constructed on this new model as they help stabilize the unit, in addition, that is also easy to keep cleaning. The only complaint I have for this blender is that it is loud. If you can stand some noise for a few seconds, it does a great job and is relatively inexpensive. ...

Advantages: good price and design, easy to use and clean Disadvantages: none
I have bought this West Bend 6550 blender for my family last month to replace my old one which was Oster. I purchased this blender mainly to make smoothies. My mother can not chew solid food as her has some major dental problems. I use my blender at least once a day. So for, I have used it for several jobs and I just love it. I use frozen fruit to make my smoothies and this blender makes easy work of mixing the ingredients quickly to make a cafe-style ... ...easy cleanup. The plastic jar makes it lighter and not so worried about breakage.
The motor is quiet, yet powerful enough to handle my most demanding smoothie tasks. The cord storage on the bottom is also a great feature. Especially it has a satisfactory price. Overall this blender seems to be well made and pretty well thought out. ...

Advantages: Initially, it worked ok. Disadvantages: Poor construction, bad customer service, defective cooling system.
...a blender. This blender by KitchenAid seemed to be just what I was looking for. I bought the KSB560PK for just over 100 dollars. As always with newegg.com, it arrived seemingly instantly at my doorstep. I anxiously plugged it in and made various cocktails of fruits and vegetables. I was initially impressed with the power of the unit. It handled the carrots and cucumbers with ease.
After using it experimentally, I started to get down to business. ... ...by the manufacturer, I contacted kitchenAid by phone. Needless to say, they had absolutely horrible customer service. The lady that I talked to was not only useless, she was rude as well!! I was informed that I needed to send the unit in for repairs or replacement, under the one year manufacturer warranty. I found this out after being asked about 30 questions about how I used the product. I sent the blender in and I am awaiting the new one.
Overall, ...
