It leaks from the bottom when using the smaller blade making smoothies. This is not a leak from the washer but from the bottom of the blade assembly. I drink from the container and it leaves a mess. Make sure you put a paper towel down before you place it on anything or it will leave a residue.

The Cuisinart SmartPower Blender is a versatile and powerful blender system and I highly recommend it

This is a high-quality personal blender. I have had several off-brand and even a Magic Bullet before purchasing this one. I use it almost exclusively for smoothies, so the motor power isn't a big concern of mine. This base is sleek and matches my stainless steel appliances.

This is the best blender/smoothie maker. We have a burned through several blenders, including a warring bar blender. This is so versatile and quick to use, and the motor on the base does a great job of blending through frozen fruit and ice.

Love it! I bought it about 6 weeks ago and have used it almost daily since receiving it - frequently more than once per day. I originally chose it because my old smoothie maker from GNC finally bit the dust.

Love this little dynamo for quick smoothies! It chops & blends with ease, I can grind flax seeds into a fine powder quickly. Simple breakdown easy clean up I bought one for my mom she loved mine so much. It is small but powerful takes up very little space on the counter.

It came with a BPA-free tritan 32-ounce blender cup, 8-ounce chopper cup and a set of four 16-ounce "To-Go" cups + one chopping blade and one blending blade. I tried to blend some peppers in the 32 oz jar but it did nothing, just made a very loud noise - maybe I cut the peppers too big.

So I waited to write this review so I could put this “new” blender to the test... I had purchased one of these sets back in the day (pre 2012) and it still works today! I love it. It’s loud but powerful and It blends frozen fruit into a delicious smoothie.

This is my second of these blenders - and I love it because of the multiple cups. There are very few options for more than two to-go cups that you don't have to order separately that come with the blender.

This is a *great* little personal blender - I especially like that you can blend right into the travel cup, and that it has a separate blending container if you want to make a bigger batch of something. But the travel lids *leak* no matter *what* you do to them.
