Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CBT-500W SmartPower Premier 600-Watt Blender, White and Stainless SteelCustomer Review: Blade Assembly stripped after 5 weeks use Summary: 2 Stars
Well, I was very happy with this blender (my previous one was inherited from my grandfather, and was probably 30 years old when the motor died a few months ago, so my basis for comparison wasn't all that high). It was fairly quiet, and very quick to make my smoothies every morning. Went through the frozen strawberries no problem - frozen bananas were a little slower.
Until this morning. I'd just added the frozen bananas when the blender started making a nasty sound. I turned it off, tried again, same sound. The blade assembly was stripped, never to be used again. It's probably a $10 replacement part, if I could find it.
As it is, I'm glad I'm still covered by the store 60-day guarantee. I'll be checking out alternative blenders when I go in this weekend.
Description of Cuisinart CBT-500W SmartPower Premier 600-Watt Blender, White and Stainless SteelRock solid with plenty of juice, what more could you want in a blender? Constructed from good-looking, hard-wearing cast metal, this blender also features a glass jar with a generous 50 ounce capacity. Crush ice? Piece of cake. The simple controls and dishwasher safe parts make operation and cleaning easy and convenient. A three year warranty backs this blender up, and a recipe booklet full of luscious entries such as Chilled Melon & Mango Soup and Creme Caramel Shake will make this your new favorite kitchen partner. No need to worry about burning out this powerful 600-watt motor when crushing ice for margaritas or daiquiris. A count-up timer sounds a continuous beep after five minutes of blending time, alerting busy bartenders. The blender also purees soups, mixes batters, and whips up healthy fruit smoothies with aplomb. Holding a generous 50 ounces, the durable glass jar features a dripless spout for clean pouring. The removable lid cap can be used as a one-ounce measure and allows ingredients to be added during operation. Made of cast metal and stainless construction, the blender adds a sophisticated look to any kitchen. Cuisinart covers the blender with a limited three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
