Looking back on this Christmas Season I have a few fond memories. Among the most memorable are the family parties that we took part in, meeting new members of our family, from newborns to road testing some of the newer members that have married into the ...

The Margaritaville DM0500 Blender was the center of a party that I recently attended. I had seen them in stores, but the cost was more than I was willing to pay for such a product. However, after using it myself, and drinking the yummy drinks, I ...

Pros: Great Design, Great for Margaritas & Icy Drinks
Cons: Doesn't make the drinks very smooth, PRICEY

We LOVE smoothies & when our smoothie maker broke at the beginning of summer we were on the Quest for another machine.  After purchasing 2 different blenders & not being satisfied that we had found the Perfect machine I saw this ...

Pros: No fuss margaritas, perfectly shaved ice, glass pitcher.
Cons: Rather large and heavy. Unless you get a great deal somewhere it is very pricey!

Recently purchased the Margaritaville Bahamas at an online auction. Amazingly easy to blend delicious margaritas and the kids love the smoothies. An instant hit. The unit is VERY easy to use and clean after use. Not too many parts.
I really wanted the DM1000 unit because it offered programs for 1,2 and 3 drinks. This one only offers the 3 drink auto program. However, you can manually blend 1 or 2 drinks. So glad I didn't spend the extra $100 for the other model. This one works great. I do recommend purchasing the travel tote. Makes it easier to store, especially if it doesn't always stay in your kitchen or bar. We have an outdoor bar, so the bag comes in handy. Also will be taking it on our summer vacation to the lake!
