Pros: Did a nice job, great price.

it from Sears.

Cons: This blender breaks easily from normal use. Back-To-Basics does not honor its warranty.

Cons: It could be a little bigger.

Pros: Makes excellent smoothies
Cons: Not easy to clean

For a few years, my friends and colleagues were accusing me of marketing for Back to Basics because I used it so frequently and spoke so highly of it that they thought I was being paid. I'm not. I just love this product. The first one I purchased was ...

Pros: Never leaves chunks, lots of accessories, great price
Cons: Hard to clean, are sparks normal?

I bought this blender from the place where I work about 3 months ago, and use it about twice a week. It never has a single problem with blending and getting all the chunks out, even when I put in almost all frozen, no lukewarm fruit. The GE model I had ...

I have read most of the reviews here and find the ones who complain about the Back to Basics Smoothie Elite either haven't completely read the instructions for use or don't understand, don't use common sense in application or expect the ...

Pros: Crushes ice better than traditional blender. Stirring stick is good idea.
Cons: Spout doesn't hold up. Liquids leak out the spout.

I purchased this product for a weekly girls craft night. We all liked frozen drinks and I figured that it would be fun to make Margaritas while we did our crafts. I bought it on sale, so I was well pleased with that. The girls were excited when I ...
