Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have owned this blender for about a month. So far it has worked great. It is a great tool to have if you expect to blend stuff on a daily basis. The larger blades and powerful motor makes my Oyster beehive blender feel like a toy. It will blend things that conventional blenders would not even begin to blend. Baby food can be puree very well. Much better than with the food processor. This machine can basically replace a food processor, a juicer, and a grinder. Things I like: 1. It blends just about anything do to the large blades and powerful 1500 watt motor. And it does it much faster than a conventional blender. 2. It's built in the USA and the parts seem to be good quality. 3. One push button operation allows you to blend w/o having to time it or supervise it. 4. lifetime warranty on coupling and blade. 5. It fits under standard counters. Things I do not like: 1. The base has a cheap feel to it because of the plastic. For the price, I think it should have been metal. 2. Has lesser warranty than its competitor (Vita-Mix). 3. I expect an expensive tool like this to have better dampening to absorb noise and vibration. 4. The plastic container (polycarbonate) scratches easily when mixing grains, seeds, etc.
