Retro Smoothie Maker Blender with Mason Jar, Perfect for Shakes and Smoothies, 300-Watt, Cream

I am writing this comment because I am really satisfied. I have been using it for about 1 year and it helps me prepare my smoothies in my favorite way. It breaks the ice very comfortably and I have never had any problems so far, I highly recommend it...

First off, this is the easiest and most efficient mini blender I have ever owned. I have owend high end mini blenders, a BlendJet (not the greatest and a pain to have to recharge constantly) and this one by Frigidaire beats them all. 1. I love that you just lock the mason jar in place and then pull the lever to blend. 2. I like having a real glass container to drink my protein shake out of. 3. Each blending har comes with a lid that can receive a straw, which makes this a highly efficient portable beverage, as in, taking in the car to drink while driving without spilling. 4, It looks really classy on my kitchen counter. I wish Frigidaire made a milk frother in this line, and a coffee bean grinder as well, I would gladly buy them to match my blender.

I bought this because my 2 and 4 year old grandsons LOVE to make smoothies with me. We put frozen fruit in it to make the smoothie and it works amazing! We do have to crush our ice a bit first, but it’s because my ice maker makes large ice cubes. The lever on the side, to work the machine, is very easy for the boys to hold down, so they feel like they’re actually the ones making their own smoothie. I also use it to make homemade, healthy popsicle’s. They can eat all they want of those, because it’s only fruit and milk in them. So they think MawMaw and PaPa are spoiling them, lol. So, go buy this, for sure, and I didn’t get any rewards for this review, I’m a private consumer.

Too bad, so sad. This is so cute and looks nice on the counter. It does have enough power for smoothies even if berries are frozen. However, it's tricky or even impossible to remove the mixing jar from the base (the part with the motor) when you are done. Even if I screw the blending cap (with the blades) on tight, when I go to remove the finished smoothie, the top of the jar stays in the base and the jar unscrews and the contents can go all over the place. This happened when I washed the unit by putting water and detergent in it. Someone was able to remove it for me, over the sink (no, I didn't put too much in it--about half full). He said it should work it I pushed down hard on the jar when trying to twist to remove, the next time. But the next time, it happened again, even when pushing down hard. The same friend could only remove the jar without spilling the contents by turning the whole thing upside down and unscrewing it. I will see if I can return it. It's an attractive design, but it needs to be user friendly.

I really loved this blender. I bought it 2.5 yrs ago and it just died the other day. For such a cheap little blender it lasted a good bit, and it worked really well. It chopped up ice and frozen fruit like it was nothing. My only complaint was that you had to take the top off and shake it to bring the solids towards the blades every once in a while cuz it only blended halfway up the cup. BUT I see that the design has been updated, so maybe thats why the shape of the cup has changed. Im really hoping they didn't change it too much so I can still use the cups from the one that just died with this new version. I will say I like the design of the old one better, it looked more vintage and thays why I liked it. I will say the old one was Very loud, as loud as a full sized blender, but honestly, how do you make a blender quiet? Lol so thats not really a complaint for me.

I just love this little blender. The color matches my walls. Nice and quiet also. The only thing is that the mason jar that came with it has a chip on the rim that could easily cut your lip if you don't use the handle provided. You can only used chips of ice in it otherwise it won't crunch up larger pieces of ice. Not as powerful as my Ninja but it does the job.

The product fits my needs it's cute and blends but it only has 1 blend setting, you have to hold down the nozzle for it to blend it doesn't stay. it's very hard to find replacement parts for this product and with all the reviews about its parts breaking it's honestly not the best for its money if you pay anything over $25-$30 for it. besides, that mine came in perfect condition, and with all the parts I've been using it almost every day since I got it. It didn't come with any signs of damage or prior use and it does blend ice however I don't recommend blending ice in a glass cup and the best way to keep it clean is to just simply rinse/ wash it right after you're done using it. the noise level is not too bad but not the quietest either and it blends the perfect size cup!I hope this comment helps(sorry I'm too lazy to take pictures at the moment)~Love

Wow. I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!
