Product Description
Cuisinart Brushed Stainless Series CBT-500 SmartPower Premier Blender - Professionalism marks this no-nonsense blender from Cuisinart. No Nonsense but plenty of joy from the mixers and beverages you can whip-up in this blender. Instructions and Recipe booklet Cuisinart Limited 3-Year Warranty

Amazon.com Review
Super powerful, this handsome 600-watt blender effortlessly crushes ice to perfect margarita or daiquiri consistency. The heavy die-cast metal base with brushed stainless finish sits in place and won't jump around, even when the blender is working hard. Sharp precision blades mince even small amounts of herbs and garlic, and the blade unit unscrews for easy cleaning. The wide-mouth 50-ounce glass jar with durable, metal-look plastic handle and base is perfect for pur�eing soups or whipping up smoothies. A digital count-up timer displays automatically when blending begins, and LED lights flash red when the power and speed buttons are pushed. Operation is very simple: there are two speeds, high and low, for regular blending or pulsing, and a separate button for ice crushing. Ingredients can be added midstream through the top. The blender stands 16 inches tall, and is covered by a limited three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Leaks everywhere! November 11, 2008
I have used this blender less than 10 times, and it broke and now leaks out of the bottom of the pitcher. Total waste of money.

It crashed and burned... October 14, 2008
My wife used this blender to grind groats (oats with the healthy bits) to make baby food. Last time she used it, it started to smell like burning rubber. This time, there were "great big puffs of smoke" coming out of it- the blades appear to have binded to blender, and they no longer turn.

Aside from that, even when it worked, it sounded like a gazillion dying hair dryers when it ran, and often didn't blend well because it is so wide...

We just bought a waring blender. hope it doesn't disappoint.

First it cut me, then it started to burn... September 24, 2008
DO NOT BUY! We got this as a wedding present last July. Six months ago after using it just a couple of times, I picked up the glass jar and suddenly, it's shattering on the floor. Glass and blood everywhere. Up until today, I had always assumed I hit it against something. I spent over $75 on new parts. This morning, I went to make my usual smoothie and it wouldn't start. The motor was making horrible noises and then there was smoke and my kitchen smelled like smoke for hours. I called Cuisinart who said to bring it in the store where it was purchased. The store was kind enough to replace it but not before being dumbfounded the Cuisinart sent me into the store because it had been purchased well over a year ago (the 3-year warranty is the manufacturer's). The manager of the store told me this model has been discontinued for various reasons including the plastic handle tends to break off the glass jar and shatter. Good to know that it wasn't my fault. I bought the new 600 model WITH A GLASS HANDLE.

Expensive garbage. July 20, 2008
I spent the bread to buy the best blender Cuisinart makes, the most powerful motor, etc and etc. It appears scientifically designed to be unable to pour anything without spilling it everywhere, running all down the side of the glass -- I can't imagine what they were thinking when they designed this. And: it leaks when you pour it, and it leaks down into the housing, so that when you pour again, there is no way to not dump stuff on your counter top. Smooth move, Cuisinart! Way to design! I'm going to dump it and get something else, and I can promise you that it isn't going to be made by Cuisinart. I make smoothies every day, and the one good thing about the blender is that it does have the power and speed to finely grind anything you throw in it; probably you could toss in a handful of bolts and get metal shavings. So it does do that well. But that's all it does well. Don't buy this or anything else from these people, this company had a good name but it doesn't any longer. Junk.

Power Blender June 25, 2008
We've been using this product for about a year now and we love it. Very powerful and a little noisy but we are very happy we upgraded from an Ultimate Chopper blender. We recommend this product.
