Factory-Reconditioned Cuisinart CBT-500FR Brushed Stainless Power Blender
Rating: 
- So far, so good
This blender is very powerful. It is also quite heavy and feels like it has quality manufacturing and finishing. It pulverizes ice in about 2 seconds flat, and has no problem blending even when completely full. The only problem is that the pour spout is almost non-existent, so depending on the consistency of what you blended, pouring can be tricky (particularly with thick frozen drinks). Great deal for the price.

- Works Great
I purchased a factory reconditioned unit for $40 bucks.In todays blender market, where it's hard to find one under $100, I think it was a steal!I've only been making shakes, smoothies & frozen drinks with this..It crushes the ice and mixes the drinks in a few seconds.The unit looks great, although made out of "brushed steel" looking plastic which will probably eventually crack.
The motor & glass container weigh a lot, so it feels like to should last a while.
Great buy if you can get a factory reconditioned model!
Rating: - After 4blenders, I can say this one is my favorit
The delivery was really fast.
I was wondering, as the price is so low, if the product will be powerfull enough to deal with ice and hard things in general.
I used it only once, and I can say, so far so good!
It did reduce to a delicious smoothie a very big bag of frozen strawberries
which were kind of a compact block of ice...speed is really good and it's easily washable, even in the dishwasher!!
good deal!
Rating: - Reliable but noisy machine
I've been using this blender daily for the past couple of weeks. It is very sturdy, a little noisy because of the big plastic base but still makes an excellent smoothie if you get the liquid to frozen fruit ratio correct (my problem not its).
