 - Purchase with CautionI purchased this blender and it worked perfectly on the first try. I attempted to use it again yesterday and smelled burning plastic. It was not blending my strawberry and banana smoothie & I had not even used ice in it. I am not impressed with this product and am afraid to plug it in to see if it starts. I can not afford to have wasted $50 on this blender and also have my home burned down - all because I wanted a protein smoothie! Rating:  - Light use onlyInitially, my wife and I were very happy with this product when we purchased it back in Feb 2007. But now in June 2008 it is dying after only light usage. It does seem have a very powerful motor and seems to make small batches of smoothies or margaritas with frozen fruit as long as you don't fill it more than 1/3 - 1/2 full. Our usage has been light, probably 3x a week at the most. Here we are 16 months later and it has started a "screaming" noise and it definately sounds (smells) like it is starting to burn out. Granted it is an inexpensive blender and maybe we should have used it more for "blending" instead of crushing. It just seems we just haven't used it that much. This time around we've got to find something that is tailored to the task with a better track record. Rating:  - Great Mixer!I bought my first Braun MX2050 over a year ago and liked it so much I bought two more, one for my girlfriend's house and one for my office. Great mixer and very dependable. Rating: - Best EverBought this as a gift for my wife after reading many reviews. We have owned several blenders, but this one is, "the best one ever", says my wife. She says is makes perfect smoothies, crushes ice and is very easy to clean. It has been in use at least every other day since Mother's day without problems. Rating: - Buy this one!My husband and I use the blender every day at breakfast. This is our second Braun - the one before lasted us @ 3 years - the plastic "teeth" on the cutter blade finally broke off from all the use. I love that it's made of glass and not plastic. This blender stands up to crushing ice cubes with no problems. We've also used it to make baby food (purees). For the price, you really can't go wrong.
