We purchased this item in late summer and now in early December it absolutely refuses to work. I'm not sure why- we probably only used it about 10 times. It doesn't seem to come with a warranty. Obviously I would advise against purchasing it.

I use this blender mostly to make my protein drinks in the morning and it does an awesome job blending the mix and frozen fruit. It also makes great frozen drinks!!! It breaks the ice up very well and I don't have to stick a spoon handle down into the blender to move chunks around. I highly recommend this blender to any one wanting to buy a top quality blender at a reasonable price.

One of my criteria in my blender search was that it had to be red. When I found this one and read the (mostly) good reviews I decided to take the plunge and buy it.

It's a very pretty blender and the container is glass, which I really like. It's sturdy and well-made.

Unlike some of the reviews, however, I am unable to get ALL the ice to totally crush, no matter what setting I use. It's not enough to make the beverages undrinkable, but that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

It's definitely a good value for the money!

Had this blender for about six months and used it four or five times, nothing heavy duty, just purée veggies. Few nights ago while using it to purée cups of cooked chickpeas, some smoke came out of the motor base then it just die. What a piece of junk!

I was hoping, based on others' reviews, to receive a better-than-average blender. This is not. Smoothies/slushies get ice chucks. The blender does not really lend itself to these type of drinks. Popping the top to use a spatula to assist is just like any other blender. I really hoped for more/better.
