Very powerful motor compared to normal store brands, cuisinart quality and distinctive colour make the SmartPower Basics Blender in Red (or White or Black) a great addition to any kitchen. from Cooking.com $45 for the blade/gasket assembly !?!?!? You could buy TWO blenders for this price! And the Cuisinart CBT-500 is NOT WORTH IT either !!! from Amazon.com Our Cuisinart blender started to labor and make unpleasant noises. Inspection revealed that the blades weren't turning freely. from Amazon.com I have just about every Cuisinart product they make and LOVE everything. This is junk. from Amazon.com Over the last few years I've killed many a blender. This particular blender is very sturdy, easy to clean, and quite good looking. I've paid three times as much for a blender that didn't last, and this one has been used several times a week for 18+ months without one hiccup. We use frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, frozen bananas and apple juice to make our own smoothies several times a week. from Amazon.com The blender excellent. It works suberbly. I like the dial control where you control the speed of the blades. I do a lot of blending and it has proved it self even with the hardest of blending. from Amazon.com You know that you are getting a good, solid product with Cuisinart and this blender is no exception. It is very powerful and easy to use. from Amazon.com The rubber feet kept coming off, so I ended up taking them all off. Lid is hard to put on. The speed control in the front is meaningless. It does not do anything. from Amazon.com Don't know why there are a couple poor reviews here because I really like the blender. It is very easy to clean which is important to me. I mainly make fruit smoothies and protein drinks in mine and the only thing I had to get used to was the speed that it blends them up. My old blender couldn't keep up with the frozen fruit and ice cubes, it took forever to blend them to a drink-able state. from Amazon.com I don't know what kinds of horrible blenders the other reviewers had before buying this Cuisinart, but this model could only live up to quite low expectations. I was impressed at first with this model. from Amazon.com
