Review of West Bend 6550 by
xiaojun111
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. ...

Want a Worthless Blender? Then Buy This One!!
Review of KitchenAid KSB560PK 5 Speed by
bigwerd07
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, ...

Blend All You Want... And Everything!
Review of Sunbeam 6629 10 Speed by
Lejandro
Advantages: Durable, powerful, Affordable
Disadvantages: Hhmm... 2.5 feet cord? (seems standard for blenders)
...my mind - Powerful! The Sunbeam 6629 10 speed is a product that has all the characteristics I look for in a blender - durably built, solid pitcher, powerful motor and a very affordable price. We have been using this atleast 4X a month for the last 3 years and still hasn't failed us yet.
This blender has 5 settings to choose from;
1.Grate - To stir
2.Blend - To puree
3. Grind - To Chop
4. Liquify - To Whip
5. Ice crush - well of course, to crush ... ...Low option for each setting. Why I say this product is powerful? Honestly, for everything that I have done with this blender I have always just used one setting - Blend at low setting!
Even crushing ice! It's just my laziness that I have done that but why should I bother? It always gets the job done. When I make my fruit shakes I always use cubed ice and not crushed and still this machine doesn't mind at all. In 15-20 seconds all those hard ice ...

You can't go wrong with OSTER!
Review of Oster 6663 14 Speed by
SimpIyCrazy
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:
www.oster.com ...
