    I bought this at WalMart for $18.94. The old saying, “you get what you pay for” is true with this model. The spout and the fact that the box showed how easily it would be to make crushed ice drinks and to NOT have to use a spoon to push the items down into the blade was great selling points; however after just two times of making simple milkshakes, I am returning this to the store and getting a kitchen aid, or other more powerful unit. It is very loud and it would only liquify the ice cream (with milk added) with prodding…and a wooden spoon forcing it down. It took way too long. I haven’t been able to use the spout as the milkshakes must have been too thick, although my kids had no problem using a staw, so it wasn’t that thick.

    Another drawback is that the cord is way too short. You have to be pretty close to the outlet which was not convenient. A few more inches would have been nice.

    I own three of these blenders and they’re like nothing I’ve ever used before. The blades make some kind of vortex which mixes and moves everything around so that it all gets blended smoothly (no ice chunks). It is loud, but seems plenty powerful. It’s the only blender I’ve ever used that I haven’t had to get out the long spoon and push and move chunks around to get it mixed properly. I haven’t tried to make a thick milkshake with it, so I can’t vouch for that, but if you’re looking for something to make your own slurpees, you’ll love this!

    I received this blender as a gift and use it all the time to make frozen drinks. It works really well for the most part and the spout is great. However the spout always seems to clog up with ice and you end of having to pour it like a normal blender.

    I read the reviews on this and decided to try it. My other 2 blenders just died ugly deaths and I was reluctant to buy another one. I thought I didn’t really need it as I don’t use them very often. I started reading about the smoothies people are making and the adult beverages that turned out so well, so I took the bait and purchased it. I’m glad I did. I am making smoothies and milkshakes more often and truly enjoying it.

    I would have given this item 5 stars but 2 things worried me. First is the noise. I realize that with the speed and power this little machine has it will be noisy. A small price to pay for such a nice machine. Second is the spigot seems flimsy. I’m trying to coddle it so it won’t break. It might be stronger than I think, but it just feels weak.

    When the drink you make is thick you need to turn on the dispense feature, come to fine out the thickness is thinner than expected. It’s difficult to pour through the spigot no matter what the consistancy – unless it’s quite watery. It doesn’t take up much room on my counter – a feature I now keep because I use it that often.

    All in all I think you’ll be happy with this blender! Good price.

    I purchased this blender at a Walmart. My teenage daughter loves smoothies and finds this blender easy to use and easy to clean. I have attempted several frozen drinks, but the ice (from my refrigerator freezer) is never crushed completely. It could be that the ice cubes are too firm and large, because I have an older model refrigerator. Many newer model refrigerators have a crushed ice feature which is probably easier to use in a blender. On the other hand, it blends frozen fruit fairly well and quickly. The dispenser is handy, I like that feature. Still, I will probably take this blender back and purchase a more heavy duty model that can crush ice better.
