Continental 14-speed Blender

Rating

The blender arrived quickly and in good condtion. I like the fact that it has a glass jar, but am a little concerned about the base - it seems lightweight. I bought it for our beach house, so I've only gotten to use it once, and it worked fine. It will be interesting to see how well it holds up with our renters, but I won't know that until the end of next summer's rental season. Overall, though, so far, so good.

I choose this blender for the glass container, motor power, number of speed settings and the look. I was not disappointed. I make smoothies every morning using lots of ice and frozen fruit, the powerful motor is able to crush the ice and the frozen fruit without any problem. The glass container is a plus as it does not stain or scratch and is more sanitary then plastic. I love this blender and would highly recommend it for all your blending needs.

This blender works great for the cost. The only complaint I have is that while it is blending, it gives off a plastic smell that is very bothersome. Perhaps it will wear off after more uses since I've only used it 6 times so far...

Although elegant in appearance, the blender does a very poor job in chopping anything solid. Unless you just want to mix liquids and powders, pass on this one. For example, with my previous blender, I was able to easily make carrot juice out of fresh carrots; not so with this one.

I bought this blender mostly for making smoothies. It's beautiful - solid glass pitcher, jet black body. It works great for liquids, not so great for blending frozen fruit. It works, it just isn't quite powerful enough to really chop up everything. It sometimes overheats and smells like its burning a bit.I still use it, but I'm very careful about overusing it.If you plan on making smoothies, I recommend finding a blender with a stronger motor.
