Editorial Review:
7-Speed Electronic Blender, Powerful Motor With Stable White Base, Touch Pad Control With Indicator Lights, Ice Crush Button, Pulse At Any Speed, Patented Stainless Steel Cutting Assembly, 40 OZ Glass Jar With Dripless Pour Spout, Press On Cover, 2 OZ Measured Pour Lid, 3-Year Limited Warranty.
This SmartPower blender by Cuisinart has all the qualities of a great blender. It's powerful, easy to use, sturdy, and efficient. The tight-fitting cover can be pressed on without turning or twisting it into place, and we found that it did not leak even under heavy use. The 2-ounce pour lid allows you to measure and add ingredients neatly without removing the cover. The 40-ounce glass jar has a wide mouth to allow chunky ingredients to be poured. The locking ring is self-aligning, so the glass blender jar slides easily into position, and the leakproof rubber gasket holds the glass jar snugly in place for safe operation. High-quality, patented stainless-steel blades are strong enough for all bar blender tasks, from crushing ice to puréeing fruit. The heavy-duty motor base is strong enough to crush ice without liquid and is backed by a three-year warranty. The seven-speed touch pad control with indicator lights is easy to use and offers great versatility and a range of blending power. The pulse button allows you to pulse at any speed, for tighter control as you blend. --Jane DePaolo

good performance:
So far this seems to be a good blender. My son likes the ice crushing mode and it blends banana chunks pretty well. I chose this model for its glass pitcher and really like the pour spout as well. The base feels like thin plastic although the modern materials are probably strong enough to allow thinness. I'm just used to my 18 year old Kitchen-Aid which has a much more substantial plastic base to the pitcher.
The Blender That Can't Blend:
I concur with the other bad reviews here. It can be used as a stirrer (but then again, so can a spoon and that's a bit cheaper), but beyond that, it can't actually blend anything--the blades just carve out a spot at the bottom and whir around while the food sits on top motionless (unless you spend 20 minutes shoving the food down and stirring and adjusting, etc.) And ever since the first use, I've smelled a burning motor smell every time I use it. The lack of a decent pour spout assures major spillage at... more info
HORRIBLE!:
I got mine and it didn't even turn on! I wish you could put - stars
More of the same... got parts?:
Had this blender for a few years. NOT heavily used. I had the same problem as others- plastic wheel under the cutting assembly (that screws onto bottom of the blender jar and spins the blade) now spins freely... Cuisinart makes you buy a whole new cutting assembly ($15). (If you have one you're tossing out, please let me know ;) Obviously, this was a poor design/quality choice by Cuisinart. They should stick to food processors...
