Title: Can't make pesto
Review: We use a blender for two things - making pesto and smoothies. I don't know how this one works for smoothies - as we returned it because it doesn't make pesto. All the ingredients (nuts, basil leaves and olive oil) just sat there. After much stirring and poking and more stirring and poking, it did grind the mixture up a bit. More stirring and poking and more stirring and poking yielded a very lumpy sauce and fustrated cook. I think that the design of the glass jar is such that the ingredients are not fed into the blades properly. This jar is very flat on the bottom, whereas other blenders that we have owned have a more cone shape at the bottom. It's hard for me to imagine that Cuisinart even put out this blender and impossible to believe that they tested it for simple tasks. Making pesto just isn't that difficult a job. Maybe the food processor part works better, but we needed a blender, so we got something else.
Is the review positive or negative?
