Summary: High Rent Name-Low Rent Product
Comment: After a year of occasional use, this blender burnt out while blending something soft, filling the kitchen with awful fumes. Of course, the warranty has expired; now it's only good for the landfill--and that includes the duplicate set of accessories I bought thinking that the blender would last awhile since my last blender, an Oster, lasted 20 years. I do not recommend this product--don't be fooled by a brand name.

Summary: Noisy - does not make good chutney
Comment: Here's a couple things off the bat:
I use this blender for heavy Indian cooking and I will compare it's performance to my Aunt's 30-year old glass-jar blender (Osterizer) that she still users every two days.
1. This it is noisy. Very noisy. At the food processor setting / puree you can't hear squat within 20 feet of this thing.
- The 30-year old Osterizer is incredibly quiet in comparison.
2. This thing does not make good chutney. No matter what jar / blade/ setting you use - at the end the chuteny is never 'fine' enough and is leafy/chunky.
- The Osertizer is quiet and does the job with a glass jar mixer
3. The Cuisinart glass jar always has stuff that never reaches the blade when I am pureeing spinach / coriander.
- The Osterizer never misses a beat
From what I am reading online - the new Osterizer blenders are garbage.
I was recently informed by a friend, that one can get the Indian Sumeet brand mixer for about $100 including shipping designed for 110v. I think I am going to go with that in the next couple weeks.
BTW, I've had this blender for 2 years now.

Summary: Good Blender, but gear broke within 2 months
Comment: I bought this blender after comparing multiple options for a reasonably priced blender. As others have stated, the blender performance is great. I used it primarily for preparing protein shakes. It crushed the ice well and blended the ingredients into a smooth shake. Unfortunately, the gear for the blade broke in just 2 months after purchasing the product. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. The product is a good one if you can avoid what appears to be a common issue with this blender.
Customer Rating:
Summary: loud, bulky, and cheap
Comment: I bought this 6 months ago. I am already looking online for replacement parts because the base to the blade cracked rendering the blender useless. It is so loud, I have to plug my ears and it scares my kids. The food prossesor purees everything to a pulp, even when you pulse it just a few times. The glass blender is heavy, akward, and drips all over when you pour. I paid 80$ for this at a department store, lucky it was a gift card. For a Cuisinart, I thought this would be quality. Keep looking.

Summary: Nice looks but ...
Comment: I got this blender as a Christmas gift 1 1/2 years ago. It looked very nice and the glass jar and base were sturdy. I used it mainly for smoothies (and Margaritas over the summer; used the food processor part just a couple of times). However, I noticed that just after a few uses, it began struggling, to the point that I was adding one fruit at a time or one or two ice cubes at a time, not to bog down the motor which seemed to be in CHF. Recently, it just died ...
Now, I am in the market for another blender. After reading many reviews, I am going to purchase another Cuisinart (SB-5600). I'll keep you posted.
