[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really impressed with this blender. When you take it out of the packaging, all you have to do is sit it on the base and you’re good to go. There’s four different functions you can set it to, milkshake, puree, chop and grind. The first thing I made with it was a baby friendly strawberry milkshake. I added the ingredients and the blade puréed it with ease. I was impressed that there weren’t chunks of ice left over like other brands I’ve used before. The blender works perfectly and takes up minimal counter space. It’s a win win for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Proctor Silex Blender is easy to use. There are not a lot of fancy features on it which is a nice change. The cord pulls out to the length you need and then is supposed to retract for storage. I could not get the cord back in. I made milk shakes using the milkshake button and they were ok. I made smoothies using the smoothie button and it did not blend it well. I still had large chunks of fruit in it after a couple of tries. I also tried to crush ice. Again, some of it was left I crushed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this blender to make my morning smoothies and it does a great job. With my previous blender I would have to let the frozen ingredients thaw for about 1 hour but with this blender it only requires me to thaw them for about 20 minutes. It makes a very smooth drink. The blades are larger than my previous blender and is much quieter as well. It is easy to clean and works great. It has features for milkshakes, purée/smoothie, chop/salsa, and grind/crush ice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is NICE!! It’s larger than my old one. I love that it’s thick glass and very sturdy. It disassembles so it’s very easy to clean. The top seals very tight. It’s quiet and it looks very sleek. I would absolutely recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender works well and as expected! It’s nicely made and looks appealing. It’s easy to use and easy to clean! I use it for my frozen smoothies each morning and this blender mixes them up nice n quick! I am very pleased with this product and it’s performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a bit worried about this product because the box arrived in damaged condition. My husband thought that the product was probably used before and refurbished because of the quality control sticker on the bottom. I wasn’t so sure though. It looks brand new to me.
I was very impressed with the weight of the glass mixing hub/cup. It was much heavier than previous blenders I have purchased, which reassured me that when turned on, the mixing cup wasn’t going to flop all over the place. Second, I really love the measurements. I make smoothies a lot, especially for my daughter, which call for 12 oz of fluid against how much fruit/veggies I add. I always have to guess where the 12oz notch would be for other blenders. With this one, there was a notch indicating 12 oz if my math is correct, so I’m happy.
The assembly was very easy but I made sure to clean the jar and lid before use. I did notice that there was a power button which was new to me. So, I had a bit of a learning curve when I tried hitting one of the function buttons. I thought something was wrong when the blender did not turn on. I have to get used to the power button.
I was thoroughly impressed with the blender. I love that the blending choices and speeds were varying and were not all the same options like most blenders. My last blender sounded like a jet engine and each function was the same. You could switch to a different function but it would sound exactly like the last the function with no speed variations, just one loud, constant, fast blending. With this blender, I was so happy that there were different operating speeds and though the blender makes a noise, it is satisfyingly quiet. When I put my frozen fruits into the blender it was a nice chopping sound, not the chainsaw cutting through an ice block like I’m used to.
Cleaning was very easy and I’m glad that there is a speed option for cleaning the blender. I absolutely love this thing and I will use it all the time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is your classic, workhorse blender. It is very easy to use. I use mine mostly for smoothies and it can be hard to find a blender that blends them properly. The Proctor Silex Blender has worked well for me. I use the smoothie button on the blender and it comes out nice and smooth. I have also used it to make gazpacho and blend soups. It worked well for both. Some other blenders that I have used have plastic blending jars. This one is glass and helps with my goal to reduce use of plastics in our home. I also like the easy clean button. I put in a little water and soap and run it right after using it, and it cleans up very quickly and easily. Blenders are loud but this one is not too loud on the scale of blenders.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good blender. It has a powerful performance when crushing ice and it blended well when making smoothies. We like the sleek and modern design. The only con is it’s a little loud but most blenders are.
