[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Proctor Silex Blender is my new favorite small appliance. It crushes ice, it blends smoothies, it makes tomato sauce and soup, it chops veggies. The 950 watts really powers through whatever you need blended. The large glass blending jar is strong but not too heavy. The five buttons give you all you really need - Slow continuous, fast continuous, slow pulse, and fast pulse plus the power button. It comes with a three year warranty, which is one of the longest I've seen. I'm very impressed with the quality of this machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many different variety and variations to blenders. Some of them are a bit intimidating with the abundance of buttons. The one specific thing I liked about the Protor Silex Blender was how simple and basic the buttons are. Not including the power button, the four button option is really all that is needed for certain functionalities of recipes. Although it is not as healthy as physically eating your fruits and vegetables, I do like to make my fruit shakes and veggie shakes for quick convenience. I would give it a three-star if you use the blender constantly for the grind / crush ice option. I can already notice that the base seems to loosen just a little due to the vibration. I believe this is constant for a wear and tear of any product. I do wish that it was more sturdy. However, I would give it a four-star for all of the other available ways to use a blender. If you want to make it last longer I would definitely lighten the use of ice products and try the frozen fruit recipes that do not call for ice. The plastic mainframe seems concerning, when compared to your normal stainless steel. But so far I have no problems with it. The plug cord is too short for my satisfaction. It is housed inside of the base frame which is convenient. I definitely love the robust glass picture. Ideal for hot and cold items. Big enough to make a large portion. The sound is a moderate hum but quiet enough not to be annoying. I am a bit uncomfortable being that the picture does not lock. I can assume that may have something to do with the loosening screw mechanic when crushing the ice. The top does not necessarily pop down all of the way. Leaving a slight lip on the picture rim. Does not seem to cause a problem at the moment. Easy to clean and easy to use. I truly believe that it depends on the person and their lifestyle when recommending this product.
