siegelscott's Full Review: Cuisinart CBT-500 SmartPower Premierâ„¢ Single-Spe...
My fiancé and I were looking to pick up a blender... Not just any blender, but one that will last us for years and years. The prerequisites: 1. Power 2. Reliability 3. Power 4. Power 5. Ease of Use
As you can see, power was very important in our decision making process. I want a machine that can destroy ice. I want to be able to turn bone into soup (actually, no thanks). We started at 500 watts, and quickly turned our attention to this 600 watt bad boy. This bender needs to be able to obliterate, yet it also has to be gentle enough to blend fruit and milk drinks. That is where the ease of use comes in. Only a small set of buttons keeps this bad boy running. No learning curve necessary. Simple, simple, simple! And, with Cuisinart, there is security in knowing the company will be around in 5 years to service this should anything go wrong.
Ok, so our first real test was last 4th of July. We traveled to Palm Springs (where the temperature drops from over 110 during the day to 90 degrees at night). As you can tell, a blender capable of keeping us cool and relaxed was a must. Our Cuisinart came along for the trip and kept running all day for 4 straight days. 45 drinks and 5 pounds of strawberries later, the easy cleanup (all the pieces unscrew nice and easy for quick cleanup) and well performing machine stole the show. Not only did it save the day, but we knew it was a keeper and took a more expensive blender we had previously put on our registry off for good. Everyone we met at our resort loved the blender, and I wouldnt be surprised if all the local stores sold out by the end of the weekend. We had our blender, and it was good.
