Blend tropical delights, purée fruit, grate hard cheese, grind spices, whip cream, and crush ice with Cuisinart's Smart Power bar blender. It has seven speeds--stir, chop, mix, purée, liquefy, and an ice crush--as well as a pulse button that can be used at every level. Attached to a heavy-duty motor base with rubberized no-skid feet, the glass jar holds up to 40 ounces. The tightly fitting cover includes a 2-ounce measured pour lid, which is great for taste testing and can be removed for ventilation when blending hot items. The blade should be soaked in warm water and then hand washed; the glass jar is dishwasher-safe. --Madeleine Miller

 Disappointed July 24, 2010
Teri Hart (WI United States)
I bought this for smoothies and used it about 20 times before the motor burned out, the day after the 1-year warranty expired. I had a similar experience with $100 Cuisinart coffee maker. No more Cuisinart in my house.
Plastic on Plastic on Plastic July 17, 2010
Brent Hughes (Gig Harbor, WA USA)
We have had this blender for a year and a half now and it was worked OK since we received it as a gift.
The motor is quite loud, louder than our old 1970's Harvest Gold Osterizer Blender.
The carafe is glass which is nice, the top being plastic works well as it seals the glass carafe nicely.
The problem comes at the gears and blade unit. The gears are plastic as is the base of the cutting assembly. What happened is the plastic got so hot from about 3-4 minutes of continuous blending, it started slowing down. The plastic was melting and fusing itself together and once I turned it off, it had permanently fused the plastic gears on the cutting assembly to the base of the assembly making it worthless. I could spend $15 to get a new one but I know this will just happen again so why bother.
For this price point, I do not recommend this product, at ~$20, I would recommend this product. There are a lot nicer products for the money.
Thanks Cuisinart for proving you don't always get what you pay for.
 Works wonders June 7, 2010

This does a great job with everything from making smoothies to soup and chopping veggies. I highly recommend it.
bad design April 6, 2010
N. Shah (CT, USA)
I bought this blender and food processor combo unit 6 months ago. I was using it lightly during the time. Initally it worked ok but it had burning plastic smell that other users complained about. It also took long time to make any thing puree or smooth paste. Couple days back it stopped working. Lights on the motor becomes red but none of the functions work. I called customer support they asked to ship the product to them at my expense and 10 $ fee to examine it plus additional cost to fix it. I have decided to not spend that much on it and instead buy new blender but not from cusinart
plastic moving parts? seriously Cuisinart? September 8, 2009

Should have returned this when we noticed a burnt plastic smell on first use, but figured it would go away, and frankly, I was just too lazy to take it back to the store.
We hardly used the blender for a couple years, but recently got on a smoothie kick and what do you know, within a month of daily use two of the plastic parts (the bottom of the blade assembly) fused together and locked up the blade altogether. Ahhh, that's why it smelled wretched -- the parts that power the blade are plastic!
The motor itself works well, perhaps too well for the cheap plastic pieces that it powers. So, I could be eco-friendly and just replace that fused part, but why bother when another of the many spinning plastic pieces will surely fail soon anyway?
Please pay attention to the negative reviews here and understand that any positive ones are going to break before long -- it's inevitable with plastic moving parts. This isn't about one bad blender or batch of blenders; the product is a failure. Buy a blender with METAL gears and blade assembly. From the cheapest Oster to the priciest Vita-Mix, everyone else other than Cuisinart has apparently figured out that plastic on plastic equals CRAP!
