5 out of 5 stars Powerful, convenient blender   April 30, 2008
I love making things with blenders, but I absolute hate the clean-up (especially since I usually make single servings). This makes it incredibly easy to make a single serving to go, with a very quick cleanup. The cup is probably a little larger than I need, but it's very secure and not messy. Highly recommended if your needs are like mine (quick, easy, convenient).


4 out of 5 stars Great for the price   December 2, 2007
I used a blender stick for a few years to make my daily smoothie but when it died, I was reticent to pay the hefty price for another one just to kill it, too. Besides, the containers with it were not deep enough and I'd spill just about every one.

There's a little adaptation to this machine because of inverting the container - I had to build ingredients "backwards" to avoid some things sticking to the bottom (top, when on the blender) and not mixing in. I use crushed ice, which also might help blending and longevity. I purchased the spare "travel mugs" so one will always be clean without hand-washing. The mug can definitely go in the dishwasher, but NOT the blending top. I did it once and the seal came out. It's small enough that it could have been ripped up by the dishwasher and it was a little tough to get back in. It cleans up well under the tap.

The base does seem cheap and plastic, and I recognized the "hot plastic" smell some others have mentioned. So far, none of this seems to affect performance. For the price, it can last 6 months to a year and still be worth it. Even nicer would be the option of purchasing just the base, since it seems likely to wear out before the mugs.


4 out of 5 stars Useful but not durable   November 14, 2007
For the price, I really have no room for complaint, but after 2 years of hard use (3-4 times a week) I awoke yesterday to finding little plastic chips on the blender stand and a high whine when I tried to use it. The plastic teeth that mesh with the plastic motor had worn off. I'm deciding now if I want to spend the money on a full replacement (since they do not sell the bladed lids separately) or try another brand.


5 out of 5 stars Great for diet shakes   August 23, 2007
I use this excusively to mix diet shakes for breakfast and lunch. I don't think I would have stuck with the diet without this blender. It is simple to use, just the right size for one shake, and quick to clean. Grinds two ice cubes with no problem. Have not pushed it beyond that.


1 out of 5 stars defective+poor warrantee service   May 14, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

After using the machine a couple dozen times, it started making a lot of (extra) noise and smelled of burning wire insulation. Back to Basics has farmed out their warranty repairs, and that company, Focus Electric of West Bend, WI, informed me they are backed up with work (no response to their receipt of the item two weeks ago).
