Summary: 2 Stars
... for a blender that can do what it advertises, because this HB 5425 Deluxe is not it. I don't like writing negative reviews, so I will keep this one brief.
Pros:
-Probably works very well for less power-intensive jobs, like mixing fresh (read: non-frozen) fruits and drinks with more liquid.
-Glass jar with a relatively smooth and easy-to-scrape-clean inner surface makes getting every last bit a lot easier than the ribbed, plastic-type jars.
Cons:
-Do not expect this to do well when confronted with large-ish chunks of frozen items, eg. ice cubes, frozen mango chunks or frozen whole strawberries, unless you plan on feeding them in one at a time (carefully) through the top of the lid while the machine spits back at you.
-Like most other multi-speed blenders, I end up using about 3 (one of them is the quick-clean speed for, you guessed it, cleaning). Maybe it's just me, but what is the difference between chop, grate, crumb, puree, and blend?
-Didn't do the job as well as my 5 year old HB that suffered an untimely demise after the base slipped off the counter top. Speaking of bases, the one on this new HB feels more like a $20 unit than a $50 unit.
-Wave action = do not fill it past 1/3, as the "waves" have a nasty habit of kicking up past the brim. Unless you like scraping up half your smoothie from the lid.
