Customer Rating: Summary: Patience Is a Virtue Comment: The people who complained about difficulty pouring from the pitcher are correct, it can be messy. The blender is loud, but it does the job IF you allow it time to work.
If you are impatient, you will be frustrated by an incomplete job. I use mine for frozen daiquiris and the result is excellent, but slow.
So in a nutshell: thorough; noisy; slow. Customer Rating: Summary: Reconded blender Comment: A very nice blender and it looks new. Very powerful, the price was good, and free shipping. No complaints. Customer Rating: Summary: grrrreeeeeaaaaatttttt! Comment: this is an awesome blender. I bought it for $34 in reconditioned form. The item came as if it were (maybe it was) brand new!! Everything was clean, not used, individually wrapped in plastic packages. You can tell it has a strong motor and it does a wonderful job blending, crushing, etc. The bottom of the pitcher is plastic although it looks silver. The base is stainless. Great product for what i paid for it!!!! Would highly recommend! Customer Rating: Summary: Like new Comment: Product like new. We broke our glass pitcher on ours and it was only a little more to buy an entire reconditioned blender than ordering a new glass pitcher. Customer Rating: Summary: So far, so good Comment: This blender is very powerful. It is also quite heavy and feels like it has quality manufacturing and finishing. It pulverizes ice in about 2 seconds flat, and has no problem blending even when completely full. The only problem is that the pour spout is almost non-existent, so depending on the consistency of what you blended, pouring can be tricky (particularly with thick frozen drinks). Great deal for the price.
