Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart SPB-600 SmartPower Deluxe Die Cast Blender, Stainless
Customer Review: Excellent Low-Cost Blender
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this blender for about a month. It replaced a less expensive, but not bottom-market, blender which had finally given up the ghost.
I use the blender to make Pina Coladas. I really like Pina Coladas and make a lot of them. These involve blending a large amount of ice. This blender chews through the ice and reduces it to a smooth, soft slushy. This has greatly improved the Pina Coladas.
Keep in mind, this is not a mega-buck blender. It is not, and will not perform like, a VitaMix or BlendTec. There are usually a couple of chunks of ice that escape the blades and wind up in my Pina Coladas. It's not perfect. It also costs about one eigth as much as a super-blender.
That said, the overall texture of the drink is much, much smoother than it was with my old blender.
This blender is also admirably heavy. You can fill it up with ice and cream-of-coconut, turn it on, and walk away. There is no hopping. It has a simple assembly that cleans easily.
I saw this blender at a mall store for a little over twice the Amazon price. I was not surprised. Everything about the construction and performance of this blender is consistent with a higher price. I am very pleased with this blender. I doubt very much that a better blender can be found for the money, or even for double the money.
If you are not in the market for a VitaMix or BlendTec but you want a high quality, high performance blender, this is a great choice. If you are trying to make good Pina Coladas, it's excellent. It would probably work just as well with Rum Runners or Margaritas, too.
