Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never write reviews. But this is such a horrible blender for what you pay, I had to write a review. Another reviewer wrote “it takes the smooth out of smoothie” and he couldn’t be more right. I’m not sure how this blender got so many good reviews. So many times I tried making my smoothies and açaí bowls and had to stick a spoon in the blender and push all the chunks to the center because they wouldn’t blend. I end up dumping my smoothie into my nitribullet to get all the chunks out of it. The designers went wrong when they decided to put three sets of blades going up...all it does is send everything flying to the sides, making me have to constantly scrape the sides of the blender. The lowest setting is still too high! Ugh! I need a vitamix.
