Editorial Review

With a 350-watt motor offering 10 speeds plus pulse control, this versatile blender does everything but mow the lawn. Can it crush ice? Certainly, and it'll blend smooth frozen drinks like smoothies and margaritas. Will it chop nuts? No problem, and coffee beans, chocolate, and vegetables (in water) come out at whatever consistency desired, as well. Does it purée baby food? Naturally, and when lumps disfigure gravy, punch the purée button and they'll disappear. Shredding cheese, making bread crumbs, blending hummus and chocolate mousse--all these and many, many more tasks are right up the blender's alley. The blender's plastic jar holds a hefty 48 ounces, and a removable cap covering the filler hole in the jar's lid serves as a 2-ounce measure. The blender stands 14 inches high. Read more

Junk
I received this as a gift and like the others, the motor lasted a few months and then died. But why would I buy it here?
Why would I pay for shipping and handling, on top of an inflated price, when I can go grab one from the store for $19.99? Complete junk!
The review says this blender has a plastic jar - does the blender in the picture look like it has a plastic jar?Anyways, I'm pretty sure I bought this model.Like the other reviewers said the motor died in just a couple months - avoid it!Read more

Junk
The blender can't handle occasional ice crushing at all.Not worth the money.

Could be better
I've had this blender for one year. It is still working but not as well as when I bought it. The pulse button stopped working after 6 months which is also the off button. I turn off the machine by partially hitting one of the other buttons. The liquify button doesn't pop up all the way when not in use and this is the speed I always use. I'm waiting for this one to break also. I do use this item 5 times a week to blend frozen banana slices, frozen blueberries, frozen shredded carrots and milk for two people. It takes a while and half the time I have to stick a spoon in there to move things around when it won't blend. At its highest speed it can get bogged down and isn't very powerful. It worked much better when I first got it and I'm waiting for it to break. What I don't understand is that people talk about having a blender for 20 years. Blenders today must be perceived as a disposible item by the manufacturers and built much cheaper. Why else are we replacing them so frequently. Considering I use mine almost daily, I need to find another one that is better made.

Good value for the money
I have had this blender for a month now. I have not used it for heavy stuff like crushing ice, but I can see it can handle it well. My only issue with it was that the first time I used it I "blended" the rubber band that goes at the base of the jar. I bought a new one and now it works great. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Designed 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 (or whatever you prefer in your smoothie) 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 measures 8 by 9 by 17-1/4 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Instructions and a recipe book are included. Read more

Worth The Money
This is a very good unit, my wife and I use it several times a week and when friends are over.We only use it for frozen Margarita's and its never failed us.My wife says it needs to have a Bigger container when you are serving up three or four at a time, and the tap drips, other than that its a bargain.

Not "elite"
This has been used twice.The first time I used it, it made a great smoothie.I tried to use it this past Independence day and the "pulse" stopped and started continuously.After a while, something smelled like it was burning.On the bottom, there appears to be lots of specks of metal.Don't think I'll be buying a new one.

Broke!
I used this a few times a month. After six months, I smelled something burning, and now one of the speeds doesn't work.It is too late for the store to take it back, and it isn't worth sending in for manf. repair/replacement. ... Read more

Nice at first...
Bought the non-chrome version of this about 1 year ago.Worked great.After about 2 months of use, the innards fell apart.No big deal, just tighten the screw again.However, the metal blades are now rusting, the steel post is now rusting, and the outer spacer is now rusting.Stainless steel is not that much more expensive than chromed steel.

OK Product, Lousy Support from Company
I purchased this product, and used it successfully to make large crushed ice. When I followed the instructions for fine ice, turning the crank counter clockwise, the nut holding the crank came loose, and the crusher assembly fell apart. I believe this was due to poor design or improper assembly.
Crusher blades fell out easily
This crusher does the job better than a hammer and a tea towel. But the ice cup is chrome colored plastic so it's fragile.

Similar problem as the first reviewer..
The blender I received also smelled as if it was overheating and the tachometer did not work. I am sending it back and will be asking for a refund. This clearly is not a reliable blender.

I love my L'equip!
It does everything I need it to and more! I'm a raw foodist so I don't need something that will "cook" foods like some of the other high-powered blenders will. However, if that's what you need one for, this will do that, too. The L'equip is the only blender I have ever used without the lid (not advised for households with children). I can start it out at a crawl and go up to blindingly fast with a turn of the knob. I liked my original one so much that I bought one to have at the office so my green smoothies could be made fresh for lunch. Alton Brown was showing off his appliances on "Good Eats" and he has a L'equip, too. Made me feel famous!

Cooks Illustrated loved it
I just put in an order for one based on Cooks Illustrated ranking this the #1 blender.

OK for the price~ nothing to rave about
I purchased this blender off of Amazon because of the good reviews it received, which I can usually rely on, but not so much this time.
Great product for the price
I use to have the Black & Decker ProBlend and it broke after the second use because it could not handle the ice. This one is VERY good and blends anything I put in it, including ice. It is very strong for how light and simple it is and has never leaked. Anyone who gave this a low rating must have a defective unit or missing the gasket. The only negative I can find is that it occassionally has a burning electronics smell if I let it run to long after the ice is turned into a smoothie texture. I think it is because the motor stops having resistance and speeds up too much. This has only happened twice in the several times I have blended ice and only on high speeds.

No Hamilton Beach
I have not used this particular model, but the hamilton beach that I bought (a more expensive model w/ 14 speed) was a complete waste. I tried making alcoholic beverages and it leaked. also, did not crush well. ... Read more

Best blender ever!
We LOVE this blender. I've never had a blender with power before, I guess, but this one will take a beet or a carrot and chop it up just like it's oatmeal or something. It makes awesome shakes and I use it to chop or puree lots of everything else as well.

good blender, but check it out before plugging it in...
This is a good blender with lots of power. I was happy to junk my 12-speed Hamilton-Beach when i got this puppy. (If you've seen recent episodes of Good Eats on Food Network, this is one of the blenders Alton Brown uses.)
Love it! Love it! Love it!
I was so happy with my first L'equip that I bought another one to have at work! It's awesome! I have the Other high-speed blender but this one runs circles around it. I use the Other one to chop up food scraps for the compost pile. ... Read more
