 Does the job! great price! Dec 23, 2005
By M. K. Foley
Ok .. I could have bought a Kitchenaid for a lot more money, that's the brand all my friends who have these recommended.
However, influenced by the price (12 bucks and change) and the reviews of other users, I bought this one. I'm not dissappointed at all! Works great!
So far I've used it to make smoothies and puree soups. In no time at all I had a nice smooth consistency for the smoothies and the soups took only a few minutes. Cleans up much easier than my standard blender, not to mention the time saved transferring things into the blender.
Also, I like that the guard portion surrounding the blade is not metal, I have a few enameled cast iron pieces of cookware that a metal guard would scratch.
You don't always have to pay top dollar to get something that performs well.

A lot of bang for your buck Dec 02, 2004
By Kaydee
I can't believe this hand blender is as inexpensive as it is. I've had mine for a year and it works perfectly. I've made cream of carrot soup with it, frostings, pudding, mashed potatoes, salsa and salad dressings. It has worked flawlessly for me. It's easy to use and cleaning it is a snap.

Amazing Oct 21, 2005
By T. Hanna
This little blender works better than my regular blender. I use it to make protien shakes and I like to add some crushed ice. I was afraid it wasn't going to mix the ice and I was going to have chunks like I get with my big blender but this little gadget mixed everything. For the first time I got to enjoy a smooth frosty shake without having to chew it. Very happy with this product.

Use it for protein shakes May 08, 2006
By James Hobson Jr.
My protein shake recipe:
2 scoops Optimum Nutrition chocolate protein isolate
2 cups Silk soy milk
1 Tbsp Peter Pan peanut butter
15 grams walnuts
1 Banana
1/2 cup plain oatmeal
1-2 ice cubes
Why did I list my recipe? Because it grinds all that into a smooth, chocolatey heaven 2-3 times per day for me without fail. And cleanup time takes 10 seconds, just wash under the faucet. The price is unbelievable and the quality amazes me.

 Careful! Blade fragments in your blended stuff! Jul 30, 2011
By D. White
Hi. I actually like the narrow shape and feel of these, so after my first one broke, I tried another. It lasted 3 months and just now broke.
The WAY it breaks is what I wish to warn you about. In both cases, this model failed by having the blender blades shatter and fragment in what I was blending. And I wasn't blending anything very hard, either. It seems the blade material used is a lot more brittle than it should be. What this means is large sharp shards of metal in the stuff you're mixing. Fortunately, in both cases for me I was mixing something clear, and was able to see it. Had I been blending something opaque like a fruit smoothie, I might have swallowed a dangerous piece of metal or choked on it. The one that just broke left half of one of the blades in my drink, very sharp and dangerous looking... I feel I dodged a bullet by not swallowing it earlier today when I mixed a milkshake-type protein shake and chugged it. That blade WOULD NOT have passed safely through a GI tract.
That's the same thing that happened with my first one, and the reason I'm taking the time to leave this review.
So to sum up, this is a nice little blender that might kill you or your loved ones. Caveat Emptor.
