Product Description:
Designed just for the purpose of blending fast, nutritious smoothies, the Smoothie Elite does the job better than an ordinary blender and is easy to operate. The 56-ounce jar has measuring marks for adding just enough fruit, yogurt, and protein powder for either two or four servings. Running at 500 watts, the pulse-power motor blends at three different speeds--mix, smooth, and pulse--letting you control the consistency of your drink. The jar's shape pulls ingredients down to the center blade, ensuring that even larger foods mix evenly. Additionally, a unique stir stick in the center of the Smoothie Elite's jar breaks up air pockets during blending for more efficient mixing. This smoothie maker even has a special heavy-duty ice-crushing blade, so frozen drinks are blended into a consistent texture. A dispenser valve on the front of the unit eliminates spills so you can continuously mix and serve without a mess. This machine is an inexpensive alternative to ordering daily smoothies at a juice bar. It is covered by a one-year limited warranty

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Buy only if you want it to last less than a year...
I used this smoothie maker often for a little under a year. Recently, the rubber got so hot when in use that it melted and the pitcher is now fused to the unit. I have to throw it out and have cereal for breakfast until I find a better product.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Adequate when blending thin liquids, but struggles with ice
I specifically asked for this blender because I make a lot of smoothies and was intrigued by the pour spout.It seemed very useful and novel.My experience with this product, unfortunately, was mixed.I found that it worked well when blending substances that were predominantly liquid.However, if I tried to use it to make a pureed soup or to blend a drink with ice cubes it took a very long time and the results were often uneven.Even with the aid of the stir stick I often found chunks that were ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Buy!
Bought this as a gift to my spouse.It does not consistently blend all ingredients.I have often still had large chunks of frozen fruit in my smoothies, even after blending over and over.When trying to work the spout, the handle broke off.This appliance is not worth your money.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Smoothie Maker
This unit does a fantastic job, and the price is unbeatable. I highly recommend you follow the directions and add the ice & frozen ingredients last. I didn't, and I think that caused the previous unit to wear out. This unit works great, and the spout is very helpful.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great item
This is much better than a regular blender for making smoothies.It works really well, I have used it a lot.
