Elite Cuisine EPB-1800 17-Piece Personal Blender

I purchased 1 of these 21 years ago. 1st one got broken by a bumble fingered relative trying to figure out what it was so I had to reorder within a couple of months. Well, that 1 took a lot of abuse in my home but got a workout in so many other ways than just smoothies. I use primarily to chop things like nuts for baking %26 cooking or other things I only need smaller amounts of that the food processor is to bulky to fool with for chopping or processing. My 20 year old blender finally quit on me so I went searching for it's replacement. Found same brand (at a discount price!) as my original and all old parts still work with it! I have been super pleased with this little personal blender because of the value for the money. You get more cups and parts than the top brands (we know what those are) that only come with 1 or 2 cups...well, if you have a larger family than just 2 that means more money to get extra cups %26 drinking tops. Not with this brand! It comes with 4 large %26 1 small cup and 4 drinking tops. Great value right there! For 20 years of great service, I think I got a well made piece of equipment for my kitchen with an awesome value...originally paid $20 twenty years ago so a dollar a year is Great in my book when I have spent more for similar that were lucky to make it a couple of years before they became expensive trash. Yes, I highly recommend this product as a 63 y.o. baker/cook for family crowds!

The product is really cool and easy to use. It gets you the proper juice and shakes. It can be used for Various things like blending spices. I just love the blade it's super quick and efficient to use.

I just had gastric sleeve surgery 4 weeks ago and nothing but liquid diets for awhile, but now I'm up to having smoothies, and things like, baby food, applesauce, running mashed potatoes, so I bought this and I just love it, it makes some good smoothies and other things.

This was the second one of these I've purchased. I bought one last year before my bariatric surgery. The first one was used daily for almost a year before I managed to lose or break most of the cups. When I started looking for a replacement I found that this one was STILL the best option for me. Can't beat the price point and for the record I'm still using the same blade and motor...just needed more cups...hence the second purchase.

I work in a military environment that only has institutional food and very small living quarters so this handy tool is great for my protein drinks without taking up a lot of space and I keep it at the office ...can't wait to have a real kitchen with lots of fruits and veggies to try making my own drink.

I bought this blender for a friend who is desperately trying to lose weight. I have the top of the line Nutri bullet which I paid a lot of money for. This product cost less than my bullet and I tell you it works just as good if not better than my high priced blender. My friend uses this everyday and she is in love with it. I love mine too however for the price I paid compared to this one I could have bought several and got the same exact results.

For our asian families grinder is the most important kitchen appliance and i have not seen any brand in usa having grinder blade and that is for very less price, it works really well and has good warranty on it

It doesn't blend well with the skin of grapes, blue, berries and apple etc., the skin is left in the juice. To solve this issue, it's best that you either strain the juice before drinking it or peel the fruit first before blending it into juice. It works well with frozen fruits because of the lack of skin on the fruit. I haven't tried it on veggie yet but I'm sure it will apply for the skin on veggies as well.

Overall I love this. I use it every day and it is a wonderful space saver. Pros: Price, multiple cups, works great on fresh fruit for smoothies, and a space saver Cons: Machine has a harder time with frozen fruit. Have to unhook the cup and shake it to blend all of the fruit. Only has a pulse button so you have to hold the button while you blend.

The 17 piece personal blender with several small cups is very convenient for individual use. Wall mart price was incredibly good;best price you can't find from any stores or online shops. As for the product, I expected it could really liquify the fruits to a juice. While it still can make drinks with some soft fruits like banana, it cannot completely crush some of a bit hard items like apple, melon, or carrots. It could be a little more sturdy.
