Focus Electrics, LLC BPE3BR Blender Express Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started with this unit, it immediately failed, the company that's absorbed Back to Basics was quick to send me a new one in exchange for my defective one. In the meantime, I picked up the comparably priced Hamilton Beach Personal Blender. I'm now alternating the two every other day.
It's no contest. The Hamilton Beach may be a simpler and lighter, wimpier-looking machine, but it's an infinitely superior design and is deceptively powerful. It's quick, handy, and clean! With the Hamilton Beach, you're not turning the cannister upside down, screwing and unscrewing different covers on it for each use, and best off all there's no spill-over and drippage every time you use it (a good day is one on which, after using the Blender Express, I don't have goopy pants and a sticky car seat by the time I make it to the job).

Cocktail Cyclone Beverage Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this for my birthday recently and while it seemed like a cool idea, the gimmick wore off when I realized it was unnecessary. I understand that people want to play god by making small tornadoes, but unfortunately these little tornadoes can also be accomplished by twirling your hand in a clockwise motion. Yes call me old fashioned but I dont need the robots to turn my drinks for me. The batteries die quick, so lets see.. I can save money on batteries by gently turning my hand. They have these things at Bath and Body Works, and all those kind of stores for $10, for $10 I would buy it if you need a shaker, but dont buy it for the gimmick, as it so unnecessary.
One positive note, It can destroy your iphone if Steve Jobs doesn't give us some decent features soon.

Anyone can look like a professional bar tender with this easy-to-use martini shaker--no more rigorous, manual shaking required. Simply add ingredients, secure the stainless-steel leak-proof cap and suction lid, and press the soft-touch on/off switch. Thanks to its clear, 16-ounce acrylic tumbler, the concoction can be seen spinning around inside, a mesmerizing liquid cyclone that will be sure to impress your friends. With the mixing complete, remove the cap and pour the cocktail into a glass from the drip-free pour spout. The unit's portable design makes it easy to take from the kitchen or bar area to the back deck or pool side. Two AAA batteries are included. The drink mixer measures 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

Single 20oz Sundesa Blender Bottle, Colors Vary Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this to mix up various Cytomax protein products, and it works great. If you've been mixing using a glass and spoon, you'll be amazed at how improved your supplement is after a shake in this bottle, no more poorly-mixed, grainy mud.
Update: I've now been using this bottle regularly for about a year and a half. It still works great. Seals well, cleans easily.
Tips:
1) Put about 1/2 inch of water in before adding your powder. This will help prevent bits of dried powder from accumulating along the bottom edge, where it's hard for the mixer ball to reach.
2) Rinse it out as soon as you're done with it. As long as I rinse it out (a couple swirls, then fill it half way, close it, shake it, and rinse it again) immediately after use, it doesn't seem to require any more significant cleaning. If I forget about it and it dries up overnight, then I have to break out the scrub brush.

These are the perfect Blender Bottles! See Testimonies for the Blender Bottle: SIMPLY PERFECT! (Shelley, MD) I have always had a problem with mixing protein drinks. Either the stuff would never mix right, and/or it would somehow leak out of the blender/shaker...plus, I could never expect a lid to fit tight and stay tight while carrying the bottle somewhere. I would never have imagined how well something this SIMPLE could work so well!!!! Easy to clean, carry, and drink from too! Thanks for the reviews everyone. You all convinced me to try them, and I LOVE ''EM! Best I've Found (Scott, NC) "This is the first shaker bottle that works! The lid stays tight and does not leak. The wire ball mixes my shakes very thoroughly. The cap stays in place and snaps shut so you know where it is and when it is closed. The mouth to the bottle and the bottle are both large enough to handle large quantities. I might just buy another set.... " A Kitchen Necessity (Lucy, FL) A must have in every kitchen because anything you put into them gets mixed thoroughly and they don't leak. They're great for my homemade salad dressings. I've mixed batter and puddings and everything comes out smooth. No lumps ever! Quality Supreme (Dru, AZ) Durable plastic holds up fabulously well in dishwasher and the color does not fade. The lid screws on perfectly and there are no leaks!! Mixing is so easy. This product is well engineered. All details were thought out before this product hit the market. I just can't think of anything that needs improving! I'm sure I'll order the smaller size . . . ! And there are lots more testimonies, too many to put here!

Back to Basics BPE3BRAUS Blender Express Plus 11-Piece Mixing System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's funny, the different experiences people have with the same products. Now, this review is for the Blender Express, not the "Plus." The only difference is the attachments. My wife picked up a couple of these at Wally World after Christmas (2005). They were in a clearance cart for [...] each. I figured that they were probably pretty cheap and I'd have a backup after I burned the first one up. Well, a little over a year later, I'm still using the first one. I use it 3-4 times a week for smoothies and frozen coffee drinks. I have to say that I really abuse the little guy. My coffee drinks call for half of the mug to be filled with crushed ice.
It will make these drinks with a minimum of "crunchy" ice particles and they are quite enjoyable. I never expected it to last this long because, truthfully, from day one, I have been able to notice the "burned wire" odor coming from the unit as I continuosly overload the mug. Yet, it is still chugging along. Even at the full price, a year of this type of useage certainly makes it a good value. And, cleanup is extremely easy and the "make it and run" mug is really handy. Of course, for larger quantities, I fall back on the larger blender. If I ever do wear out both of these units, I would not hesitate to purchase another.
UPDATE: 7/10/2009
Just wanted to add this note. Two and a half years after the above review (makes the unit three-odd years old), we're still using it!!! It still makes the smoothest frozen drinks. I guess we really got lucky with this one. I can't even remember where we put the second one! :)

Even more, the containers feature durable see-through construction, which makes it easy to keep an eye on the consistency and to identify contents at a glance when stored in the refrigerator.
