Brentwood JB-220G 12-Speed + Pulse Blender, Lime Green

Smooths my smoothies (coconut milk, banana, ground flax seeds , cinnamon, vanilla, protein powder and 6 ice cubes into a smooth smoothie. In less than two minutes. My a.m. breakfast that I "had been" skipping, is back. Good for milk shakes too. In the beginning, there was an odor. But after a weeks use - i find the odor has gone or at least lessened.

It is sleek and a fabulous "throwback color" to the 60's and I was only born in the late 60's and it is nostalgic for me as when My mother was alive and had a similar blender but, of course this one is modern. However, I almost returned it thinking it was defective. But My engineer friend discovered a loose component and quickly fixed the problem and is now perfect and I will be keeping it. And in defense of AMAZON, it was not their fault as it was from a third party not being in their control. TY again AMAZON.

Unfortunately, the wisps of smoke didn't photograph well enough to post. Very first use out of the box the motor started to smell bad then emitted smoke. I unplugged it. Kitchen smells like burned plastic. To make matters worse, the returns on this seem to be defective as well. I clicked through and it's claimed I can print the return label from my Orders (wrong) or from email (not received). And Amazon won't process the refund until it's dealt with by the kind of crappy third-party seller that sells garbage that nearly catches fire so basically I'm out $30. Thanks for nothing and less. Beyond being a warning to future buyers of this fire hazard, I'm belatedly beginning to think Prime ain't worth it anymore. Between 2 day shipping being a thing of the past and easy returns gone the way of the dinosaur and the fact they'll let seemingly anyone peddle fire hazards on their platform, I'm beginning to think I should simply take all my purchases elsewhere because this is bull.

Love the color but not as heavy duty as I thought! Takes longer to blend than my previous blender! I like glass not plastic. Great for the price.

This blender works pretty good. I was a little nervous because I didn't realize it had a plastic container oh, but it's sturdy plastic and has held up. I mostly just use the blender to make fruit and yogurt smoothies. It does a really good job of mixing and breaking down the fruit. I also love that it came in this bright color.

Is a basic blender, is not super high powered, works. I have to make a smoothies a little more liquidy than a strong blender would make them so it blends everything.

UpdateIts been seven years now and its still working like new. And I blend food at least once a day sometimes several times a day.cute and functional.UpdateIts been 6 years later..... and she is still working like the first day and I blend a lot.... Please bring her and her sisters back. I would like to gift them to people.

A very nice appliance for the cost. The plastic carafe is on the thin side but is adequate. The top fits snuggly.I like the green colored base.
