Pros: Larger jar; pouring lid; cord stores in base Cons: Get frozen chunks, burning smell, buttons stiff BottomLine: I would not recommend this blender since it doesn't seem to blend things like ice well - definitely not smooth enough for smoothies!
Pros: You will be amazed at the durability of this blender, especially how cheap it is. Cons: As long as I have had this blender I haven't found anything wrong with it. BottomLine: You want to buy a blender that will not only save your money but last you along time. Buy this blender.
Pros: -Cheap -Great ice crushing -Easy Clean-up Cons: -Boring appearance BottomLine: For the price, this blender is amazing--a great addition to your summer picnic!
Pros: Easy to use, blends evenly, easy to clean Cons: A little loud, but I suppose all blenders are BottomLine: I would recommend this to anyone! It's very family-friendly, since older children can learn how to use it (with supervision), and is very easy to clean up and put away.
