Works good!
I wanted a machine that was easy to use and made my family something that was somewhat healthy. I have a blender-but thought a smoothie maker would make it a bit simpler for me.
This smoothie maker is all that. It chops stuff up in no time flat. It has measurement markers right on the...

The Xmas Gift That Keeps On Giving
I have to admit I am not Smoothie kind of guy. I have never ordered a smoothie while out or even tried one at a friend's house. This smoothie maker was a gift last xmas. I was neither thrilled nor upset by the gift but I was intrigued at the possibilities.
The next gift I opened was a...

A nice idea
It seemed like a nice idea at the time. Since smoothies are the main reason for me to have a blender, one that specializes in smoothies seemed perfect. The execution isn't quite as nice. Making thick smoothies worked ok, the plunger is helpful in getting the ingredients to turnover - BUT, a thick... Read full review »
Pretty Upset
I received the Smoothie as a gift for Christmas. I am diabetic and loved it to make healthy drinks. It was hard to clean and the dispenser spout didn't work well for thick drinks. Also, was very difficult to put together. I moved this summer and My Grand Daughter took it home to make a smoothie... Read full review »
Makes A Great.....paperweight
As many have noted before I, this blender does work well for the first 3-6 months then the gears start stripping out. My first gear was replaced under warranty. When that one wore down, I had to buy a new one for about $10.00. This one came with a metal gear instead of its plastic predecessor,... Read full review »
Great blender, I use it all the time!
I bought this blender from the place where I work about 3 months ago, and use it about twice a week. It never has a single problem with blending and getting all the chunks out, even when I put in almost all frozen, no lukewarm fruit. The GE model I had before couldn't even hold a candle to the...

It's ok
This blender is just ok. It's easy to use but hard to clean. Ingredients get plugged in the spout and it is really difficult to clean that out. Also the spout is useless. Liquid comes out so slowly that you might as well just pour it right into your cup. Read full review »
Makes smoothies out of it's own gears.
These things are pure garbage. It was a nice idea and probably could have been a good product but there is a serious design flaw. We had ours for about 5 monthes before the gears stripped out between the blender and the motor. The motor is so powerful it just pulverizes the gear if an ice cube gets... Read full review »
Never again
I will never again buy an appliance made by this company. My smoothie maker crashed and burned after about 4-5 uses. Read full review »
Pretty Good While It Lasted
We got about 18 months use out of this machine.
Received it as a gift Christmas 2003. It worked pretty well at first.
It never had the power that I wanted. It never completely crushed ice in my smoothie and there were ice cube chunks in the smoothie. Additionally it didn't...
