I bought this for the specific purpose of crushing ice and making smoothies, after reading hundreds of reviews for other blenders. If you don't want to spend $400-500 on a Vitamax, then this is your second best choice. It crushes ice and liquefies everything into a smooth texture very fast. There is, however, an electric burn smell when it operates longer than 30 seconds. The blade gets stuck when you're blending large quantities w/o enough liquid, in other words if the content is more paste-like rather than liquid-like. We've been using it almost every day for the last 2 months and, overall, we're happy with the quality of this product.
As other reviewers stated there is an electrical smell if you run it for a few minutes straight but it's so powerful that you don't need to do that very often (at least I don't) it is loud but only irritatingly so on high speeds. I'm VERY happy that I bought it!
I love the one piece easy cleaning feature; it does blend smoothies well which is why I bought it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is b/c it has an odor like an overheating appliance when I use it. I shut it off immediately when I start to smell it. I regularly buy refurbished items, never have had a problem with them. If it continues to smell I will send it in for repair.
I bought this blender because I can't yet justify spending over $400 on a Vitamix or Blendtec. I've used it daily for a few weeks now and it consistently churns out delicious results. Green smoothies with spinach blend to a very smooth consistency, the result with kale is not as smooth but of course, kale is a tougher green than spinach. This blender simply demolishes ice, frozen fruit, and large pieces of apple without any difficulty. I have not had to use a tamper during blending; the blender's shape and power is enough to move all my ingredients toward the blade. One would not be able to guess that it is in refurbished condition. Pitcher has a nice pour spout, is very easy to clean and I love that it is a one-piece assembly. I'm very happy that I saved hundreds of dollars buying this blender over the fancier types, it's perfect for my moderate smoothie needs :)
I'm happy with my purchase. it came in very quick and saved me money by purchasing it refurbished through Overstock.
I have never bought refurbished so I meticulously read the reviews. While I did notice the slight smell just a bit, it did not bother me in the least as that's the faint aroma of the mighty horsepower packed in this sleek unit as it blends THE perfect marguerita. I was blown away by how few seconds it took to froth up a perfect blend from cubes.
As a another reviewer I purchased this for the specific purpose of crushing ice and making smoothies. I waited a few weeks before I wrote this review and so far it is working great. If it last as long as my KitchenAid stand mixer I will me very pleased.
It crushes ice amazingly well, creating a fine powder that's ideal for snow cones. It makes great smoothies and milkshakes. We bought this based on the Cook's Illustrated equipment tests and after a few weeks we are not disappointed. I love the wide top for ease of cleaning and adding ingredients. We've also owned a Blendtec but it was so expensive and we didn't like the way it made milkshakes so we took it back. For everyday use, we love the price tag and performance of this machine. It really is a breeze to clean out, even if you get sticky peanut butter on the sides.
I was pleased to open the package with this blender. I have gone through several in my adult life, and this one is far sturdier and seems higher quality then the others i've owned. You will be surprised at how heavy this is. I have stainless appliances, so this was an obvious color choice and matches the other countertop appliances I have. I had not purchased a refurbished item before; this one came iwth the owners manual, although it was in an overstock box, and not the original packaging. I was slightly concerned about what went wrong the first time that it had to be refurbished, but in the end, it seems to operate perfectly. I am very pleased with my purchase.
This refurbished blender looks and works like new. Will buy more refurbished products from Overstock
