Pros: Works really well for blending,chopping, and shredding.
Cons: Is a little loud.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for someone who is looking for a good deal for two machines, and has a want for a blender that is very easy to clean.
One day my blender decided to quit on me so I decided to buy a new one. Not knowing very much about blenders I decided to start by looking at prices and name brands that I could kind of recognize. I finally found the Cuisinart SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor, and what caught my eye is the fact that it was a 2 in 1 blender/food processor. A blender by itself was already sitting at the price of $70 and the food processor was at the price of $100 by itself. I ended up getting a really good deal only paying $110 for the Duet. It has already proven to be a good purchase, and the more salsa and smoothies I make, I realize that I have actually saved money and it has started to pay for itself.
