"Great idea, disappointed with the quality" star star star_border star_border star_border I loved the idea of this and it's so easy to use, it's perfect for making a smoothie in the morning to drink on the way to work. Unfortunately I only used mine 3 times before the seal in the lid with the blades came away and could not be fitted back in. I returned it and got a replacement which lasted about 12 uses before the same thing happened. If you fit the bladed lid and turn it upside down to fit to the base unit, the liquid inside the cup comes pouring out. I'm just really disappointed I'll have to return this one too. support_agent A note from the team We're sorry to hear you've experienced this problem and hope you'd be happy to try another replacement.
"smoothies galore" star star star star star_border I bought this so that I could make a healthy smoothie to take with me to the gym. I love smoothies and like the healthy versions and this works perfectly. It doesn't cope with ice cubes but I use crushed ice and it copes perfectly. It was difficult at first getting the hang of releasing the cup and blade from the base but after a while it gets easier. I use mine regularly.
"smooth, but not straighforward" star star star star star_border Making my first smoothie did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. First, the blades will not cope with "hard foods", which means that ice cubes and frozen fruit are out – though it’s easy to work around this restriction. More important are the crucial directional instructions OFF and ON, which are embossed in black on a black background. Missing these almost-invisible markings can lead to leakage and/or failure to start when the blades are wrongly seated on the base. The Smoothie Maker is a victim of its own sleek black design, but now I’ve got the hang of it, my smoothies are delicious!
"DISAPPOINTED" star star_border star_border star_border star_border When my Smoothie maker arrived I was excited to try it out, but not for long, after the third time it stopped working and as I hadn't kept any of the packaging, and I would have had to make a special bus trip to the post office I reluctantly threw it in the dustbin, so I had three very expensive smoothies! support_agent A note from the team Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry that the Smoothie Maker has been a disappointment and will be in touch shortly.
"Brilliant" star star star star star_border Just purchased this, brilliant, makes just the right amount, no waste, easy to use and clean, couple of negatives, no on/off button on front and releasing the cup from the blade worrying has released cup, not blade small spillage!
