Product Reviews I actually bought this as the 3-in-1 package (with the food processor optional bowl), but I'll stick to my review of these two portions here. The blender is the best I've ever seen. My ex- had a Vitamix, which I covetted. Amazingly, it scored lower in Consumer Reports' comparison than some blenders with less motor power in blending smoothly! Their conclusion was that the *shape* of the bowl was as important as the absolute power of the motor. With that in mind, I shopped around for the "best" blender, in store after store, for quite a while. I really liked the "pusher" that Vitamix provided through the top hole of their lid, and decided that was an essential feature. High power was still a plus, but no longer the ultimate criterion. And the bowl shape had to promote even mixing - but all I knew there from the CR report was that deep fins on the inside helped, and a round bowl wasn't always best (a triangular bowl performed highly, but square ones were sometimes good & sometimes bad designs). Enter the Back To Basics 3-in-1. I was leary. It seemed to have everything. But it was so cheap! Would the bowl prove to be a bad design? Was it cheaply made? Would the motor burn out quickly? Am I a worrier by nature? OK, that one is a given. I decided to buy it. I didn't even realize until I got it home that it had the food processor attachment! Since I already have a food processor (an old Black & Decker), that wouldn't have been an attraction anyway. I would have been happy paying that much ($50) for just the blender, if it was the shiznizz, the real deal. 6 months later, I love Love LOVE my blender. Early on, I pushed it *hard*, to see if I could break it during the return period of the store. Nope. I got the motor too hot, and smelt smoke, but to be fair, I was really punishing it. Watching carefully over the next few days, I expected it to finish frying its wiring. Nope: it was just fine. Now I treat it normally. I don't baby it, but I don't do foolish things, and work hard batches of food in pulses, giving the motor a chance to cool. It takes whatever I give it. The blender blends everything, top to bottom, smoothly & quickly & evenly. The smoothie dispenser is great, and I can't believe I ever lived without it. I use it for lots more than smoothies; the dispenser is a wonderful idea! Buy this package deal.
