Maxi-Matic EPB-1800 Black Elite Cuisine 300-Watt 17-Piece Personal Blender

Pros: It works for a lot less than a magic bullet or other single use blender. I use ice cubes, fruits and whey for a nice smoothy.

Cons: Has some difficulty crushing ice, break cubes in half first.
A bit noisy but have you ever used a quiet blender?

Other Thoughts: Cheap and it works 1 month and counting.

Pros: Very good!! Have much fun to work with it !

Cons: None

Pros: Very good system for making quick shakes. I use it to make protein shakes and it does a great job. Also comes with lids so that I can make a shake and then take it to work. Also includes a smaller cup which is great for making a small batch of custom salad dressing etc.

Cons: Blender is a little noisy so can't use it when everyone else has gone to bed.

Other Thoughts: Fairly durable despite being plastic. I used the first set I bought for several years before the motor finally broke down. So indispensible that I immediately went out and bought another set.

Pros: Quick, high powered motor, space saving.

Cons: There's black goo that comes out when you blend anything. It looks to be possibly lubricant or something shooting up from the motor. It has a mechanical smell. My third milkshake had black goo on it (it was s'posed to be white/pink nothing black was in it).

If you blend for a long time there's a smell, also the grips are ridiculously cheaply made and cut crooked.

Other Thoughts: I don't like drinking lubricant or other random black goo imported from china, can't be good for ya.

Pros: I just opened the box and made my first protein shake. This is PERFECT for the on-the-go person who wants to mix up a quick drink with little effort or mess. Many reviews complain about motor heating etc. This is NOT a commercial blender ... it is what it says, a "personal blender" ... if you're making margaritas for 6 then you're looking at the wrong item here. But if you want to mix your super-foods drink or protein drink and head off to the gym then this is perfect for you! It does crush up a few cubes of ice with little effort and I just made a delicious greens-super-food drink. (ok it wasnt delicious but I hear they're good for you)

Cons: Well, it is on the cheaper side but what do you expect for $26? I haven't had it long enough to say really but rated it 4 stars because I'm sure I am going to eventually break the think plastic tumblers as I am more brawn than brain lol But again ... its $26 ... if it breaks oh well I'll buy another.

Other Thoughts: Bottom line: If you want a simple one-person drink or shake mixer then you can't go wrong with this. If you want a multiple-drink high-volume blender then buy something at a higher price point.

Pros: Does what it says it will do

Cons: Motor gets a bit warm during use. Electrical burning smell is apparent during operation.

Other Thoughts: I don't expect this unit to last a long time.

Pros: Very low price a personal blender with 2 blades and few extra cups with covers. Does crushes ice cubes very well and pulverizes seed eg. raspberries better then most out there.

Cons: The holding cup plastic is thin and cheap looking. The switch does not stay on. You have to power pulse it. Limit not more then 5 sec otherwise machine will over heat and gives out a foul smell like burning rubber. Continuous pulsing at 5 sec interval can be a real chore! Churns then to stick to the base and need some shaking to through crushing. throughout.

Other Thoughts: This machine is a personal blender nothing more nothing less. Not for heavy usage. Use it with tender loving care and you won't be disappointed abuse it you will have to get a new one sooner.

Pros: Cheap
Has cups

Cons: Goes out of order in about half a year of usage because its poorly built

Other Thoughts: Depends on what you need. If you need something serious go somewhere else, if you need something to throw one party and then throw away then its a good choice

Pros: Good Price.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make a great gift

Pros: Excellent. We like the fact the mixer removes from the base to become a hand mixer.

Cons: The Bowl could be bigger.
