Lifesaver!!
To say I am addicted to smoothies would be an understatement. I have at least 2 a day, and it was such a pain to have to wash all the parts of my large blender before every use. I have 2 kids, so was always in a rush in the morning. I would just fill the blender with soap and water and leave it in the sink to "soak" until I got home from work. Well, when I get home from a long day at work, what do I want? A smoothie, of course! I would let out a huge "grrrrrrr" every time I would see it dirty in the sink. Why oh why didn't I clean it this morning I would think to myself. Well, my worries are now over! After seeing the reviews for this cute little blender I just had to have it. I can make smoothies directly into my to-go cup?? It sounded too good to be true! This blender has literally saved my life... less cleaning and more enjoying time with my kids. Not only that, but when my husband is craving a fruity drink and I'm feeling the peanut butter/banana/chocolate blend, we can both have it our way since the blender comes with 4 glasses! Thank you Crate and Barrel!

Awesome!
Bought this to make smoothies for on the go. Love the fact that I can make the smoothie put the top on and go. One less thing to wash and love the fact that there are multiple cups. Also able to chop nuts with the smaller chopping cup...bonus! Would definitely recommend this!

Excellent product
I purchased the compact size Smoothie Blender, The size, brand, and description of this appliance was a must have for mixing breafast smoothies. The plus was the beverage containers including were perfect for drinking my breakfast on my way to work. I have taken my friends to Crate and Barrel and said, "you don't want to live without this appliance" The Crate and Barrel staff were so accomodating too!

Sweet little blender!
I bought this little blender so I could easily whip up a post workout protein shake or a breakfast smoothie without having to pull out the big ole' blender we've had for years that has too many parts and is a pain to clean. This little power house totally fits my need. Compact enough to keep on the counter. Easy to clean and love the "to go" cups that come with it!

Let down by Cuisinart
So, i bought this blender based on other cuisinary appliances i have that i love. I have to say, the actual blending capsule (the clear part with the blade inside) gets stuck on the base of the machine I have and I have had 2 separate occasions where the black part of the capsule got so stuck that i pulled hard and my smoothie and the capsule came flying out everywhere. Not fun when all you want is a cold refreshing fruit smoothie. I feel that I am not strong enough to even put on and remove the blender part! Mine also stops in about 2 seconds, and then I try to restart and it wont work. I have to unplug it and start again. I am actually thinking about calling Cuisinart and discussig the issues to see if it's not a faulty machine. I always recommend Cuisinart appliances, they have a long history with me in the kitchen, but this falls way short of the quality and standards I am used to.

Great Blender
I started using the blender and found it to be fast and convenient. Being on the go you need to have a device that you can make your shake and run and this is the blender. Just throw the cup on, blend, put your lid on and you are on the go with your shake. Cleaning is simple too.

Small and Powerful
I purchaed this to make smoothies. I haven't found a good smoothie recipe yet. This is a great little machine, small and powerful. I have found that it makes really good milkshakes!

Smoothie Blender
Took advantage of the 50% off sale on this Cuisinart Smoothie Blender and am glad I did! It works great to mix daily protein shakes and we have also used it as a nut chopper.

Love Cuisinart
I bought this smoothie maker for my husband who was having to use our Cuisinart hand blender every morning during his breakfast routine. It took forever and it was harder to customize his smoothie tastes and mine. Now it is a quick and easy process to throw together and saves him a lot of time. We make all of our smoothies with frozen fruit and yogurt and have loved how fast this little machine works.

Smoothie Blender
This compact sleek smoothie blender is great for when you're on the go! We make our smoothies and pour it in the cups with lids and we're out the door! I like that they're clear and the lid works great...no mess! It's so cute that it sits on our counter! The price was very reasonable. The salesperson had one and highly recommended it. There was a promo going on so we had to place an order to come back in and we're glad we bought it!

Easy to use
This smoothie maker is easy to use and seems to be of high quality. Be careful not to fill it too full--especially with frozen fruit. If the motor overheats, it will automatically turn off until it cools down (I speak from experience). We use this almost daily, and to date have been very happy with it. My only disappointment has been how it "jams" when too much frozen fruit is used.

Convenient and Space Saving
This blender does the job and takes up little space. I love the idea of the travel cups and I use them often. I haven't used the chop function yet but I'm confident it will be fine. This blends with ice much better than my old blender.

Skeptic made fan
I hadn't been a blender fan until now. A sales person in the store recommended this product for it's ease, individual serving/travel cups, speed, lightweight plastic vs. heavy bulky glass, and ability to crush ice in 30 seconds or less. I have 2 kids, with different tastes, making pulling out a traditional blender a bear. We now make 2-4 smoothies or milkshakes a day with this handy, easy to clean blender. I love that I can pump some nutrition into the kids for breakfast, before sports and that it takes less than 1 minute from start to finish to make a nutritional meal. Even my kids could use this blender - it's that easy! A max fill line on the cups takes the guesswork out. The base is compact and lightweight making it easy to store. No more ice chunks, no more oozing base, no more clean up mess. Thank you to the sales person that convinced this skeptic to make this purchase. Love love love!!!!!

Great Little Helper
I haven't had a food processor for a number of years since giving my original one away. There is very limited counter space in my kitchen which means the unit must be put away after each use. The original processor was much larger and heavier, and took far too much cupboard space so out it went.
My new one is phenomenal. I honestly think it's more powerful than the older one but is incredibly compact. The travel cups that come with it are the best!
One of the best things purchased in a number of years. I'm a tend to fall for the "latest & greatest", only to be very disappointed, but not with this. I've found a real winner.
Not only great smoothies but it also chops veggies which means I actually cook more - hate chopping as part of the cooking process.
This little worker really knows how to multi-task!!

Awesome Smoothie Maker
This is by far the best smoothie maker we have ever used. Purchased as a gift for a friend - however I visit often and this machine is used daily for mixing protein shakes. Any frozen fruit becomes blended to a perfect consistency due to the amazing powerful pulse action of this machine. The [to go] cups are a plus and I can't wait to hear about all the other uses this little baby gets a workout on. Thanks C/B for offering this at an extremely affordable price.

Best Blender Ever!
I recently purchased this blender and I love it! It is so easy to use and so easy to clean up! I have been using it every morning to made a easy to-go smoothie. I love that you can blend a smoothie right in the to-go cup. This is a great blender that I would highly recommend.
