Poor quality, even worse customer support, October 2, 2001

Geoff Scowcroft & Peter Wolf “Realtor’s” (Oakland, Ca United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed Electronic Bar Blender, Chrome (Kitchen)

We have been using this blender for about seven months. We make daily smoothies with crushed ice (crushed from our ice maker) and frozen fruit (bananas, strawberries, etc.) and milk or juice. We have always noticed a slight electrical smell from the unit whenever we were mixing our drinks. The quality of the blend was generally OK; occasionally it was unable to break up some of the ice chunks.

A plastic part on the base of the unit ended up shattering. This is a cheap plastic piece that turns the blade. I e-mailed Cuisinart’s customer service group. It was a couple of weeks before they returned my e-mail. I had also left messages with their customer service number. After a few attempts I was finally able to speak with someone. I was told that I would have to send the blender back to them, at my cost, and include a ten-dollar check for them to repair the unit. After I told them that their policy was against the law in the State of California they agreed to issue a pickup tag with UPS and waived the ten-dollar fee.

I finally received a new blender back about a month and a half later. I will never purchase another Cuisinart product. We have since replaced the blender with a Kitchen Aid KSB5. So far this blender is incredible. It makes easy work of blending ice. I cannot recommend the Cuisinart because of its lack of reliability and Cuisinart’s non-existent customer service.

*** Update ***

This review was first placed in 2001. It is now April 2009 and the Kitchen Aid KSB5 is still running strong!

INFERIOR PRODUCT, May 2, 2002

kimberly mcfarland (campbellsville, ky. United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed Electronic Bar Blender, Chrome (Kitchen)

I received my blender for Christmas 2000. I only used it infrequently for milkshakes. 2 days ago the black plastic gear at the base of the blender broke into 4 pieces! I called the customer support center and they told me to mail it to them ( at my expense) but they could not give me an estimate on how much it would end up costing me to have it fixed! I have since learned that this is a very common problem ( they acted as if they had never heard of the problem) It seems to me a [dollar amount] blender should not have plastic gears… I am very dissatisfied with the product and the customer support!!!

Plastic, October 7, 2000

“heart2read” (Pasadena, CA United States) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Cuisinart SPB-7CH SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed Electronic Bar Blender, Chrome (Kitchen)

I just got this yesterday from Amazon. I was so excited opening it…then my hopes were dashed. This thing is 100% plastic! I have not decided whether I’m going to return it or not, but be aware…that cool chrome look is exactly that, a look…and you can tell without touching it–just a little too shiny. The pitcher bottom is black plastic along with a plastic top…it’s so full of plastic it hardly weighs anything…in other words, it feels cheap. For 0 bucks I’m very disapointed. The contols will be easy to clean if I keep it though.

So far, so good., January 2, 2011

Princess Bubblegum “mudpie10″ – See all my reviews

This review is from: Cuisinart SPB-600 SmartPower Deluxe Blender (Kitchen)

This is a nice meaty little blender. Have only had it for about a month, but am really impressed with how efficiently it blends (as well as the quality of the product). I ended up going with this blender because I’ve had 2 other Cuisinart kitchen appliances since 2004 that still work really well. Hoping I get the same mileage out of this blender.

Nice to be cord free, January 24, 2009

Keri Vaca (San Francisco) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Cuisinart CSB-78 Smart Stick Plus Cordless Rechargeable Handheld Blender (Kitchen)

I have had the Cuisinart plug in hand blender, but wanted to go cordless. I finally broke down and got this one. It is nice to be cord free, but it is pretty heavy, and big for my hands. It does blend well. The other thing I do not like, is that when you charge the base, it does not give you a green light that it is charged. That would be helpful.

It is also very easy to charge, because the handle has a plug built right into it, no separate base. I really like the small mixer bowl attachment that came with it as well. I have used it more than I expected.
