patch3boys's Full Review: Cuisinart SPB-7 SmartPower 7-Speed Blender
My husband bought me the Cuisinart Smart power 7 speed blender for my birthday last September. At first, I thought that was too much to pay for a blender. But now that I had the opportunity to use it for the past 6 months, I have to say it was worth every penny.
7 SPEEDS
Liquefy, puree, mix, chop, stir, ice crush and pulse. The pulse allows you to pulse at any speed from high to low, so you can blend ingredients only as much as needed. It is very simple to choose the setting you would like. The buttons are large and labeled. You simply push "on" then the speed you would like, for example "stir." Then when you are finished, you just push off.
COVER
In the cover there is a 2 oz. measured pour lid which allows you to measure and add ingredients neatly without removing the cover.
GLASS JAR
The glass part of the blender is really nice. It is a 40 oz. jar and haS a very wide mouth design and easy to pour dripless spout for no mess pouring.
HIGH QUALITY CUTTING ASSEMBLY (AS THEY CALL IT!)
The blades are very sharp (ask my husband, he has already managed to cut himself). But they are very sharp and strong, to handle all the different tasks from Chopping Ice to chopping parsley. I haven't came across a job that this blender has not been able to do yet.
LOCKING RING
You do not have to twist and turn the blender jar to lock it into place like many of the other blenders. This blender is self aligning so that the glass blender jar slides easily into position.
HEAVY DUTY MOTOR BASE
This blender is very sturdy. It will not jump around while in use. It is very sturdy and stable. Also, this blender has Slip proof feet which helps prevent movement during use as well as prevents damaging marks on your countertops.
HIDDEN CORD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
This I do not use much because I keep it on my counter top available for everyday use. But for those who would not wish to keep it out have the option to put the cord away. But, this is such a beautiful blender, if you are anything like me, it is a welcomed addition for your countertops!
IMPACT-RESISTANT PLASTIC HOUSING
This blender is crafted with the finest quality materials to resist staining, cracking, and odors. And for anyone who has every owned any of Cuisinart's products, you know that they have very good quality products. Also, this Blender is backed with a 3 year limited warranty.
Over all, I can't say enough good things about this blender. It has everything that you could ever want or expect on a blender and is designed in a very simple fashion. I guess that ol' saying is true, "You get what you pay for!" I am still thanking my husband for this wonderful gift!
