Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Banana’

Got this blender as a christmas gift. I was really excited because the reviews were good and I needed a blender for my daily protein shakes. I figured this would last for a long time since it is a Waring and we have had nothing but good products from them in the past. Boy, was I wrong. The blender set up easily, but the first thing I noticed was that it was fairly small. My shakes are basically 2 cups of water, a fresh banana, ice and maybe some frozen fruit. No nuts or seeds or anything really difficult to crush. Compared to my old Cuisnart I had to be more careful with the adding of ingredients because of the small size. I like to add the mix last while the blender is going to avoid it sticking to the sides. Since this was a smaller jar, I had to be extra careful to avoid spilling out. I could have lived with all of that, except that about three weeks after I got it, it broke. After maybe 20 uses, I cleaned it just as I normally do. A drop of soap in the jar with some hot water and run the blender for a little while. Rinse and turn upside down until dry. A few hours later I go to dry up any remaining water and store it when I find that the shaft holding the blade to the base broke. It was clear that there was a defect in the metal as it was rusted partially through. THere had to be a crack in the shaft. So I used Amazon’s retun feature to order a new blender of the same model. You have to love Amazon’s return procedure. In a couple of days the new blender arrived. Two weeks later the new blender had the same failure. I now have a Brevile blender and am crossing my fingers. Don’t buy this blender unless you are planning on sending it back until you get one without a defect.

So far, I like this blender. It is very easy to use and to clean. Today, I made two smoothies with one banana, one apple, three small oranges and a little apple juice. The fruit was cut into chunks/quartered. After the fruit was blended, it was more like a puree which is what I expected. That is why I added a little apple juice.

The beaker has measurements along the side, which is nice but the numbers are hard to read. Apparently, you cannot buy the other attachments for this version of the blender. I did not know that because now that I have it, I would like to purchase the whisk attachment. It seems odd to me that a company would develop something like this but not so that customers could buy the additional attachments.

Added Note: I’ve used the blender a couple more times. Because of the shape of the blender attachment, it can stand alone in the mixture. I was able to stand the blender in the beaker, while I stepped away to get other ingredients. That was helpful.

I recently spent a few months living at a meditation center that had one of these babies…boy was I spoiled rotten! The power and speed is simply breath-taking, and I was told that it was over 5 years old to boot.

This is definitely going on my wish list. Am currently using an Oster “professional series” (ha ha) blender which for fifty bucks from my local warehouse club is adequate for my breakfast oatmeal/banana/whey smoothies, though it is seriously challenged by frozen bananas unless they’re cut into 1-2″ chunks not 3″ halves.

The thing is, one of these Vitamixes would pay for EIGHT of those Osters, so I am unable to justify the cost since I don’t really use the blender for serious juicing which would most benefit from the far more powerful Vitamix. I guess the way around that would be to convince myself of the need to regularly consume a lot of pureed veggies, hmmm…

I bought this item primarily to mix my fruit smoothies (mixed berries and a banana). I followed the directions but this blade does not blend all of the items very well (like the original blade). I used it twice and put it back in the box where it is now permanently stored. Also, the shipping charge is ridiculous for this small item. The merchant probably paid no more than $2.50 to ship the item but charged over $6.00. Don’t waste your money.
