Proctor Silex 58130 8-Speed Blender

I liked the small footprint and low price of this blender. And it seemed to do well even crushing frozen strawberries for smoothies, but the parts do not fit snuggly together and I think this caused it to break. The entire spinning mechanism under the jug splintered and sent out acrid smoke one morning and that was it for this blender. It is worth it to get a slightly pricy model made with hardier materials.

This blender is very inexpensive and the price affects its performance. The jar is plastic, and it became dull after just several uses. The motor is powerful, but the controls are not very precise. However, it does very well what I bought it for- to make smoothies for my kid.

I use this product regularly to make smoothies. It has not disappointed me. I would recommend this product. Best bang for the buck!
