Customer Rating: Summary: You can have mine - don't waste your money Comment: I bought this blender because it got good reviews on Consumer Reports. It was quite a disappointment. First and foremost the machine is mostly plastic and very cheap looking. The only reason I bought this was for crushing ice in smoothies and bar drinks. I am out of luck unless I have 15 minutes to start and stop the machine, shake up the contents, swoosh it around, try again, and again, and again. I have found that the machine can not handle more than 3 ice cubes at a time (I've tried all combinations) and frozen fruit is out of the question. The fruit must be defrosted slightly in the microwave first. Wow - after writing this I realize how much I've become a slave to this piece of junk! If you're really interested in buying this one, come to my house and you can have mine. I'll be happy to have you take it off my hands. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth owning Comment: I am impressed with this blender. It does everything you could want, its well built and sold, easy to use and does a great job. Well worth the money. Customer Rating: Summary: Braun MX2050 Comment: Works well. Bought purely from Consumer Reports review. A little louder than expected but we'll see if it lasts as long as the Warings we've had over the years. Customer Rating: Summary: Braun blender Comment: I have only used my new Braun blender a few times, and so far it has been perfect. I have not yet made in it all the foods that I have used a blender for in the past. This new Braun replaces a Braun that was 45 years old! Customer Rating: Summary: Good Value Comment: A basic blender that will satisfy 80% of your needs. Inexpensive, rugged, easy to operate and clean ... just right and the price was very resonable.
