[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this blender 2 months ago after using the older KitchenAid version of the same blender daily for 15 years. When I first used the new blender, I was concerned about the way it moved around the counter when using the crush ice mode and how noisy it was. The blender is too light for the power of the motor. Today while making a fruit smoothie, the blades stopped turning. On inspection I noticed that the flimsy rubber fitting with shallow spines in the base of the blender had been stripped, thus no longer turning the blades. There was a film of liquid rubber around the inside base of the clear plastic pitcher. This blender is poorly designed and the use of flimsy materials have caused it to stop functioning after only 2 mos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this blender. It does a great job of crushing ice in smoothies. It's fast and very easy to operate. It also looks pretty cool on the counter. We're very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is very good, I use it to make smoothies daily. I think it is better than Vitamix, I know because I had one and returned it to buy this blender.
