Title: good blender, great price
Product review: This is a fine blender for my use-- sporadic, infrequent, but heavy when I do use it. Summers, for smoothies, or for making Mexican Hot Chocolate, that sort of thing. It's noisy, my only complaint. At $30 I think it's a good value. The Cook's Illustrated people like it very much, and other alternatives are more expensive and have significant disadvantages. I love the capacity, and I like having a glass rather than plastic pitcher.Perfect? Hardly. The base of the blade is made of weak plastic, and the lid has mysterious, badly designed holes that one tries to keep covered while blending. It could be quieter and the motor could be less buzzy. But the pros easily outweigh the cons. I'm buying a second to have parts on hand in case anything breaks and the model has been discontinued.
