Cuisinart Hurricane 48 oz glass jar blender BL-200

A piece of JUNK!! It doesn't blend a smoothie well. After the magnet that hold the jar in place stopped working I bought a Breville. What a difference. It blends much longer on the smoothie speed. That makes a big difference in taste. This blender is poorly designed. Hard to keep clean. Too many small areas that get dirty and are hard to clean. The jar has too many ridges making the smoothie hard to scrape down into the glass. Whoever designed this does not drink smoothie. Terrible design and the engineering is bad. Had one year and the magnet, that holds the jar on quit working.

I cannot review the blender because I have not received it yet. Please check the status of my order and provide a tracking update. I will update my review once the package arrives.

Bought this as a smoothie blender and it works great! Much faster than my old one. When I read some of the other reviews, I was concerned about not being able to take it apart to clean it. Cuisinart wasn't much help with this issue. I got some assistance locally and found a special wrench that would release the bottom portion for deep cleaning. I also read in the manual that you can just a water and a drop of dish soap and it actually has a cleaning cycle on it like my Pampered Chef blender. Very pleased with my purchase!

I have one already, which I like and ordered this as a gift. Sadly it is impossible to unscrew the parts for washing. I have to return. I bought it on sale and will repurchase only if it is back on sale. I deeply hope the defective one is not sent to another client. The one star is for lack of quality control in sending the defective one. I do like the one I have.

So far, this seems like a great purchase. The control is easy to use, and it gives the motor breaks in between cycles. It runs on its own without me needing to be there to hold onto it. It could benefit from a suggested user guide with recipes. We did need to use a special tool to get the base separated from the glass top initially, as it really tightens down. Easy cleaning.

Piece of JUNK!!!! I was given this as a replacement for a blender that was less than 2 years and had warranty still left. The blender I had was discontinued, no longer available for replacement. Cuisinart replaced with this bender, ~2 months ago!! I've already had issues with it not starting. I use it for a daily smoothie. Hoping this issue isn't a sign it's going to quit on me soon!! Other issues: glass jar is very heavy. Doesn't blend well. Yogurt is still on sides of my blender after the "smoothie" control has finished!!! HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE BLENDER!! I will never buy this brand again!!EVER!!

I use this blender for smoothies with a base of frozen fruit and it does a great job of making sure all ingredients are pureed to perfection. This is a very powerful appliance with blades located in the base of the glass pitcher (not on a rod running up through the middle) which seems to work great when making just for one. The "smoothie" setting is pre programmed for just the right amount of pulsing. I like the glass jar and so far it has worked beautifully for me. Some may consider this blender heavy but I find that indicates power and stability.

"Do you Cuisinart reviewer take this Amazing Cuisinart appliance to be your lawfully wedded Blender?” Oh, you bet I DO! "Do you promise to love and cherish this blender, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all other blenders, keep yourself only unto it for so long as you both shall live?" That is an unequivocal YES! Folks, we’re almost a year in and the honeymoon continues. In fact, we now own two of these—‘two’ have and ‘two’ hold. This blender is in a ‘GLASS’ of its own. To have one is to love it. Plastic blenders, if you own(ed) one or more are cheap (but not inexpensive), prone to failure with serious use, and can be toxic. We can finally make our own smoothies the way we’ve always dreamt and they are thick and rich like no other. Start by adding 2/3 cup of unsweetened apple juice. We store frozen fruit and use two cups bananas, 3 or 4 strawberry’s, 16 blueberries, 2 peaches and 2 mangos and put these all in a large bowl on the counter. Add all at once (while still somewhat frozen) into blender over apple juice, and then pour 1/2 cup of almond milk over all. Turn blender to smoothie, hit the button and hold our ears. Voilà! Prepare to swoon & spoon! Bottom line: A smoothie worthy of your vows❣️ And now back to our regularly scheduled honeymoon.

Whoever designed this blender doesn't make smoothies. 1) 40 seconds, the smoothie choice on blender, doesn't completely blend all the ingredients in 40 seconds. 2)the glass jar: why make so many ridges. We, smoothie lovers, like to take a spatula and scrape every last bit of smoothie. The ridges make that difficult. 3)The blade is so hard/impossible to remove. It traps a lOT of the smoothie whereby you have to use a spatula to dig out the smoothie in order to get all leftover out. BAD DESIGN. 4)Glass is nice, but very heavy 5)No on & off switch? What's with that? No brainer, include one. 6)I would not recommend this blender. This is a warranty replacement for my Cuisinart blender I had for one year. That blender was discontinued and this is the replacement. The previous blender did a much better job.

one of the best investment I have made, this blender is strong and easy to clean and use, powerful I recomment it
