Title: Irritated! Don't Buy.
Product review: This product worked well while it worked. It is loud enough that I actually make my children leave the kitchen while I'm making smoothies. It is as loud as the Jamba Juice place with 3 blenders going. It does make fine smoothies, but I hated it because of the noise level. So I kept using it for about 7 months, probably once or twice a week.Now, it is broken. The gear that connected the motor to the blade broke off so it will not turn. Looks like it will cost me about 19 dollars to fix it. It appears I can get the part from [...] - which is at least better than an earlier review. I was not making cement. Fruit smoothies - yogurt, fruit juice, frozen berries (the one hard thing) and bananas. No ice. I'm incredibly irritated with Cooks Illustrated and will send this to them next.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
