Good machine,

This review is from: Back-to-Basics Smoothie Elite Maker (Kitchen)
I got mine yesterday and have used it twice already. The smoothies came out very good. The only complaints I have are
1.) It is VERY loud. I live in an apartment and am afraid it will upset the neighbors! :) and
2.) The spout clogs easily. I'll just have to add more juice/milk than the smoothie kit says to use. It has a lot of frozen fruit and it becomes too thick.The great thing about it though is it crushes ice VERY well! My blender won't do that.So overall, I really like the machine and recommend it. Just be courteous to your neighbors and use it before 10:00PM! :)

It's Either Fabulous or a Big Mess,

This review is from: Back-to-Basics Smoothie Elite Maker (Kitchen)
I bought the Pro 600 Smoothie Maker for my teenage daughter, who can live on smoothies during the summer. She loves the machine and made 2 or more delicious smoothies a day for about 4 months. Then catastrophe struck. The motor is quite powerful and there is a lot of action going on when it's running (noise too) and apparently the vibration of the machine caused 2 flanges in the bottom of the machine to break off. This caused the strawberry-banana smoothie to flow all over the countertop and floor. It was a huge mess to clean up and left my daughter heartbroken. I have ordered another smoothie maker--the Pro700 stainless, in the hope it can withstand its own vibrating action better than the first. It certainly crushes ice much better than a blender and it does make delicious drinks. My daughter uses frozen berries, bananas, whatever fruit juice is available and sometimes a dab of homemade ice cream in hers. If the new machine holds up, I will give it a 5-star rating...Read more
