Product Description
Designed just for the purpose of blending fast, nutritious smoothies, the Smoothie Elite does the job better than an ordinary blender and is easy to operate. The 56-ounce jar has measuring marks for adding just enough fruit, yogurt, and protein powder for either two or four servings. Running at 500 watts, the pulse-power motor blends at three different speeds--mix, smooth, and pulse--letting you control the consistency of your drink. The jar's shape pulls ingredients down to the center blade, ensuring that even larger foods mix evenly. Additionally, a unique stir stick in the center of the Smoothie Elite's jar breaks up air pockets during blending for more efficient mixing. This smoothie maker even has a special heavy-duty ice-crushing blade, so frozen drinks are blended into a consistent texture. A dispenser valve on the front of the unit eliminates spills so you can continuously mix and serve without a mess. This machine is an inexpensive alternative to ordering daily smoothies at a juice bar. It is covered by a one-year limited warranty

 Good for how I use it. August 26, 2008

A friend of mine introduced me to this blender and I really enjoyed it. I do not make many smoothies but this blender does make great daiquiries and milk shakes.
 PIECE OF JUNK! July 28, 2008

I only used this a couple times before the handle on the pour spout broke off. Then I started finding small pieces of plastic in my smoothies - the base was starting to shred! So I just threw it in the trash. I would NOT recommend this item!

This unit is difficult to clean, mostly because of the ridiculous pour spout. It really serves no purpose other than making things difficult. I find it quite easy to lift the jar and pour the contents as you would with a gallon of milk or any beverage. Also, the plastic base that attaches to the jar absorbs the smell of everything you blend and cant start to smell foul after only a few uses. I received this item as a gift but if I were in the market for a smoothie maker I would go for a regular blender with no pour spout and one that's made with better materials. Probably a Waring blender or something of the sort.

I've been through 2 of these BTB smoothie makers. The last one left me with a mess of ingredients in the pitcher....and no smoothie. Spend a little morey and get a durable machine!

don't buy it. this thing fell apart after two uses. the motor started smoking and then it leaked. we did not abuse it, just mixed together a banana, some yogurt and a few strawberries with non-fat milk. it certainly should have handled these ingredients quite easily. very disapointed in the quality. we threw it out and bought a real one.
