summary: i normally make smoothies and batters (like crepe batter), and for that it is fine.
i bought this blender on a sunday and i used it every morning to make simple smoothies(frozen and fresh fruit without ice).
the new one makes it through two smoothies, and now won't crush anything!
i make smoothies each morning with frozen fruit and crush a lot of ice.
pros: this product made an excellent smoothie the first time i used it.
i got this smoothie maker several years ago for my husband.
does a good job making smoothie's.
makes fruit juice like a juicer, makes the best milk shakes, daquiries, gazpacho; it can even whip cream for dessert or froth milk for fancy coffee drinks!
i use a blender once a day to make a smoothie with ice, chocolate & sweetener.
i bought this blender to make fruit smoothies (mostly strawberry) for my athletic husband and son.
why didn't it make a simple fruit smoothie?
first time i used it, to make a smoothie, couldn't chop through frozen fruit.
i only used it to make milkshakes and smoothies and after only a few uses the plastic blade on the bottom broke.
and it smells acrid like smoke, and honestly it doesn't chop ice at all really, but i guess i paid for what i got.just head a caution...but if you like icey chunk smoothies go for it.
i make a smoothie every morning for breakfast and this blender does not any kind of a good job.
in spite of the wider bottom on the jar, it doesn't mix smoothie ingredients well...always seemed as if the motor was overheating, as well.
i bought this blender less than a month ago to use as a smoothie maker and it died on me yesterday.
this blender is not designed for making smoothies.
i purchased this blender specifically to make smoothies.
i primarily use my blender (every day) to make a breakfast smoothie.
very soon it got louder and started to take longer each use to make a smoothie- yogurt and a frozen banana pre-chopped into little pieces.
the farberware stainless-steel 3 speed blender works well to make smoothies.
