- Powerhouse
This is a great little machine. I use mine often during the warm weather months. It has power to spare and the measuring lines for either 2 or 4 servings make for perfect drinks. One slight flaw that is rather annoying-it's very easy to get the spout cap screwed on crooked and then it leaks all over the place. Always make sure first that it's not leaking. I would definitely recommend this product.

- Poor kitty....
Not happy with this purchase. It seemed to work ok the first time or two, but now it sounds like a whole construction crew is in the kitchen. It's so loud it scares the cat half to death!! The dispenser will work for water, but forget about anything much thicker. I did research this before I made the purchase (about a year ago?)and at that time, I swear there were more positive reviews of the product on Amazon...things that make you go "hmmm".

- Great blender/smoothie maker!
I'm really impressed with this machine. I made a fruit smoothie (about 2 adult servings) first, and what I noticed first is how powerful the motor is! It ground up ice very nicely and mixed my fruitful drink into a frothy treat. The dispenser works very well, until you get to the very bottom of the batch. Then it flows slowly and you have to pour the rest out (which was probably about a half cup or so.) I'm glad I purchased this smoothie maker and would recommend it!

- Didn't work for me...
I returned if after using it twice. For single serving protein drinks, I couldn't even get it to blend the powder well or crush the ice cubes. Maybe it works better for larger quantities. The "dispenser" was a joke; it took forever. On top of it all, it was a pain to clean. I returned it and picked up the Bella Cucina Rocket blender which is designed for one serving. Works MUCH better and is a breeze to clean.
