Product Description
The original Smoothie Maker from Back to Basics has demonstrated exceptional consumer appeal with its unique dispenser valve and stir stick. New features that emphasize convenience include a handle for easier pouring and a blender cap that replaces the dispenser valve when chopping and blending dry ingredients.Amazon.com Review
Designed for the purpose of blending fast, nutritious smoothies, the Smoothie Elite does the job better than an ordinary blender and is easy to operate. The 56-ounce jar has measuring marks for adding just enough fruit, yogurt, and protein powder (or whatever you prefer in your smoothie) for either two or four servings. Running at 500 watts, the pulse-power motor blends at three different speeds–mix, smooth, and pulse–letting you control the consistency of your drink. The jar’s shape pulls ingredients down to the center blade, ensuring that even larger foods mix evenly. Additionally, a unique stir stick in the center of the Smoothie Elite’s jar breaks up air pockets during blending for more efficient mixing. This smoothie maker even has a special heavy-duty ice-crushing blade, so frozen drinks are blended into a consistent texture. A dispenser valve on the front of the unit eliminates spills so you can continuously mix and serve without a mess. This machine is an inexpensive alternative to ordering daily smoothies at a juice bar. It measures 8 by 9 by 17-1/4 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Instructions and a recipe book are included. –Cristina Vaamonde

TERRIBLE unit. It was a gift from my mother so it wasn’t my money that was wasted but I’ll bet we only got a few good mixes out of it. Then the valve leaked all over the place, then the valve completely broke off, so we were down to pouring the drinks from the spout - finally just got a better unit. Don’t waste your money on this junk…

A friend of mine introduced me to this blender and I really enjoyed it. I do not make many smoothies but this blender does make great daiquiries and milk shakes.

I only used this a couple times before the handle on the pour spout broke off. Then I started finding small pieces of plastic in my smoothies - the base was starting to shred! So I just threw it in the trash. I would NOT recommend this item!

This is a very good unit, my wife and I use it several times a week and when friends are over. We only use it for frozen Margarita’s and its never failed us. My wife says it needs to have a Bigger container when you are serving up three or four at a time, and the tap drips, other than that its a bargain.

This unit is difficult to clean, mostly because of the ridiculous pour spout. It really serves no purpose other than making things difficult. I find it quite easy to lift the jar and pour the contents as you would with a gallon of milk or any beverage. Also, the plastic base that attaches to the jar absorbs the smell of everything you blend and cant start to smell foul after only a few uses. I received this item as a gift but if I were in the market for a smoothie maker I would go for a regular blender with no pour spout and one that’s made with better materials. Probably a Waring blender or something of the sort.
