Cuisinart SPB-7 SmartPower 7-Speed Blender

Pros: Appearance looks good, strong and sturdy base.
Cons: Doesn't blend well. Weak motor and blades!

     The Cuisinart SPB-7 SmartPower Blender has a white heavy base that makes it strong and sturdy. Also attached is a no slip rubber grip on the bottom which helps keeps it in place. All of the 7 different functions are buttons ...

Pros: Attractive, push buttons make cleaning easy - for as long as it works.
Cons: Will make you deaf and burn down your house

Okay, here's my tragic tale of woe with this crappy, cheaply made hunk-o-junk: My blender was only about 6 months old when I decided to have a pool party for the grown up girls with lots of frozen MARGARITAS! Woohoo! So I'm in the kitchen whipping up my ...

Pros: looks, features
Cons: one works for years, one breaks in a year

I could almost write two reviews on this blender. We registered for one for our wedding and have been using it for over 7 years. We still use it today. We bought one as a gift for someone else and it broke right away. Well, it broke in a little over ...

Pros: Loud, but arent all blenders
Cons: Blends everything,heavy duty

Best blender for the money. It has a nice big bottom, where the blade is, that way it is able to blend better than the skinny models. The big open bottom is similar to the VITA-MIX blender (best blender ever but cost $300+), which helps the liquid ...

Pros: sturdy glass jar, easy to use, pulsing ability, counter appeal
Cons: base cracks easily, turns on spontaneously, ice crushing ability low

You think that you're going to get a good, reliable product when you buy something with a trusted name like cuisinart; not with this product. We had such bad luck with this blender. First, the performance was nothing to get excited about; no great ice ...

Pros: Touch pad cleans easily
Cons: Base is made of cheap plastic painted to look like metal, pour spout spills

This blender works fine functionally, but the advertising is misleading. Cuisinart calls this a "chrome" or "brushed chrome" model when in fact it's nothing more than cheap painted plastic which scratches all too easily. The base is light weight and...

Pros: Lots of settings; touch-pad controls; 5-cup capacity; decent customer service
Cons: Noisy; ice crush setting inadequate; not terribly effective; blade broke!

We don't use a blender very often, but every now and then it's a handy thing. So we got the Cuisinart SmartPower 7-Speed Electronic Blender as a gift one year.

It looked nice and impressive. It has a good 5-cup capacity. It has a...

Pros: Looks
Cons: Repeatedly breaks. Rude customer service. Need to push two buttons to operate.

This blender looks sexy; that's why we bought it. It has a modern shape and keyboard layout, and ours had a chrome finish applied to the plastic housing. However, in my opinion the engineering leaves a lot to be desired. You have to push two buttons to...

Pros: Beautiful design, easy to use, easy to clean.
Cons: Serious design flaw in bottom gear.

I was very happy when I first received this attractive Cuisinart blender. It mixed and blended many recipes without any problem. Smoothies where a joy to do in this unit. The ice crushing was done with ease. Cleanup was easily done by taken the unit...

Pros: Good power, nice looking, no leakage problems
Cons: None so far

I have used many blenders over the past 10 years, and I have to say that I've been the most pleased with this one.

I bought it about 10 months ago to replace an Oster blender that was originally from the late 60's. It was also chrome and...

Pros: solid, sturdy blender
Cons: can't blend anything

I can see I'm going to be in the minority with this review on the Cuisanart Smart Power 7 Speed Blender. Everyone else seemed to like it a lot, but I have had nothing but trouble.

Design
This blender is extremely sturdy. The...

Pros: Sleek design, sturdy, efficient.
Cons: Might be a bit pricy for some.

The Cuisinart Smart Power 7-Speed Blender is truly a fantastic blender. I have the Classic Chrome model (a bit more expensive (Listed $115, on-line $99.95) than the regular model ($79.95 on-line) but VERY attractive.

FEATURES

Pros: Sleek design, powerful, easy to clean
Cons: It broke and

I loved my Cuisinart blender. It crushed ice, blended food and drinks beautifully, looked great, and was easy to clean.

Sadly, it has a design flaw. The black plastic ring on the bottom of the blender glass that fits into motor and is...

Pros: Powerful, easy clean
Cons: Noisy, failed after 3 yrs

We received our Cuisinart Blender 7-speed chrome as a gift, and we fell in love with it. We used it almost daily for fruit smoothies and protein drinks. It was ALWAYS noisy. My preschooler would grin and cover her ears...it was that loud. But we...

Pros: Beautiful-looking machine
Cons: Driven by a cheap piece of plastic

We have had a Cuisinart food processor for more than 20 years. It still works great. That's why we were so excited to buy their beautiful yellow blender.
The very 1st time I used it, it broke. The motor seems adequate, the glass is heavy-duty, but...
