Makes great margaritas!
Review of Oster 4094 by Justine82

Advantages: Blends ice well, durable
Disadvantages: Loud

The blender I had before only cost me $5 at a yard sale and didn't work very well so I decided to upgrade. The price I paid was about $60 which I thought was pretty high and I have seen it for more than that. The best thing about this blender in my opinion is it's ability to really chop up ice. My other blender always left big ice chunks in my margaritas but I don't have that problem because this one really does a great job. This blender only has ...
...want to pulse you have to switch between on and off repeatedly which is annoying but not a big deal considering how well the blender blends. It looks nice on the counter with the chrome beehive design and it is very durable. The pitcher is glass which I like much better than the plastic ones. It is easy to clean and very simple to use. My old blender was very old and very loud and I assumed that because this is a very new model it would be quieter. ... Read review

cool looking
Review of Hamilton Beach 52754 by stonecold

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: n/a

Some may not like this type of blender but I do. I think it does a very good job blending up things. It is very easy to use and you can blend up so many things with this. It has a couple different kinds of functions.It cost an ok price. Not too expensive or even to cheap at all. But my wife uses it to make the kids milkshakes all the time. It leaves some of the icecream in chunks but it does a very good job in blending it up. It does not take too ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Magic Bullet - Yes the "Virtual Kitchen Magician"
Review of Magic Bullet 7712.00 by JohnA

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None that i can find

...watching the program for the Magic Bullet. Then it happened. I picked up the phone and actually made the purchase. What was I thinking? Was this really worth it? Let us take a look and see if this product is really the "Versatile Kitchen Magician". Well I am proud to say that it lives up to its billing. I have done so many things with this tiny little machine that I would not have done before simply because it took too much time. First let me start ...
...vegetables. Not with the Magic Bullet. We fill the large cup with banana, strawberries, blueberries, and orange juice, and Walla a healthy smoothie that they love drinking and don't think it is something icky. We have also been able to mix in some vegetables as well to the regimen so they are now getting things like carrot and leaf spinach in their diet while not having to eat it in its usual form. So you say it is good for drinks, but nothing else? ... Read review
