    Amazon.com Review
    Designed 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 (or whatever you prefer in your smoothie) 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 measures 8 by 9 by 17-1/4 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Instructions and a recipe book are included. --Cristina Vaamonde

    This stopped working after about 8 weeks of use. We made about 6 smoothies a week--not good for a lot of use!


    2 out of 5 stars Not an everyday blender   June 25, 2004

    Stopped functioning after about 6 weeks of operation. We made about 4 smoothies a week. Would probably be ok for someone who was the occassional smoother, but obviously not us. Cleaning was ok, but the spout really isn't a useful feature in my opinion, as you have to pour to get all the blended material out anyways and you end up wasting the material that gets stuck in the spout. Plus, it's one more thing to clean... Went for the Oster 2-speed beehive instead, per the positive reviews.
