It works wonders but the only down side, is that it is way toooo big to store on my counter. And it is to tall to fit in my cabinets. would be nicer if they made a more condensed version of it or a smaller one. Blending Power Excellent blending power, although my red cabbage looks like pepper flakes sometimes but it still is very well blended Ease of Cleaning I just throw in in my dishwasher and it is good to go. Ease of Use no problem Design just to big to set on my counter

This blender is the master of all blenders! Will blend anything you can imagine from vegetables to fruit to making juice drinks and hot soups to milk shakes and cocktails. Blending Power This blender really works. You can put all of your fruit or vegetables into this blender and it totally pulverizes them skin and all. You can even make hot soups with it. Versatility You can blend almost any item you can imagine in this blender. I only wish it would sift out the thick peelings of fruit and vegetables, but I don't know of any blender that actually does that. Ease of Cleaning Just pop the attachments off of the base and throw them in the dishwasher. Ease of Use The blender is very easy to use. It has several settings and you should read the instructions before using for the first time. It even has an ice setting for making slushies and cocktails. Design The design of the blender is very basic. Very large. Will hold a large amount of liquid. It is wonderful for making many cocktails at once. The blender is also ideal for making hot soups. Durability This machine has lasted me several years and is still going strong.

It is too large for small jobs, because the clean up is tedious. I am not fond of plastic either, but this seems extremely durable. I forget to use the 'pulse' option and make too many errors, so could seriously use more directions for this thing without having to pay for them. Blending Power It blends well IF it isn't too thick. If it is too thick, then it overheats and one has to wait until cool down to continue. Versatility For the price one should get more directions on the different ways to use it! Ease of Cleaning It is cumbersome to clean for a small amount of anything to be made in it. Ease of Use Again, it should come with more directions for its versatility for the price. Through trial and error, however, one can come up with some pretty interesting things. Design This is designed for versatility and for big jobs. It should come with an attachment for smaller jobs though :) Durability So far I have put this thing through the ringer, so to speak, and it has come out with flying colors!

I enjoy using this blender for multiple items in the kitchen. The motor is powerful enough for frozen fruits and ice for smoothies with no problems. I like that it heats while emulsifing for soups, and cleanup is a breeze. This stays out on my counter for everyday use. Blending Power The motor on this blender makes it a great pick for small or large jobs. It will hold up to everyday use and large jobs. Versatility I like that I can blend pizza dough, mix smoothies or make a hot soup all with ease in one appliance. The machine takes very little counter space and I can leave it out to easily use daily. Ease of Cleaning This machine is one of the easiest to clean that I have used. I run a little water in it and soap if needed and its ready to go. Ease of Use This machine is easy to use with little training. It comes with a great book of recipes as well. Design I like that this style is one I can leave out daily without taking up my entire countertop. Durability This machine is definitely a workhorse. It is a breeze to use and will last through many projects. Happy eating.

This product is a good product. It does quite a bit in the kitchen. It is versatile, but it not great for everything. It is not a good food processor. Two main drawbacks: 1. It overheats very easily. 2. Anything that is being blended needs some type of liquid in order to blend. Other than these issues, it's a very good product.

We have made all sorts of drinks and soups with this machine, even throwing in the peelings. At first I was scepticle, but they really do not affect the wonderful flavor. My grandson loves the smoothies in the summertime and we all love the hot soups in the winter. We blend mixed vegetables and freeze to add to homemade soups and stews. This helps the summertime crop last so much longer and makes everything healthier. Blending Power We haven't found anything that will slow it down. Versatility Goes from cold smoothie drinnks to hot soups instantly. Ease of Cleaning Take it apart and wash all the crooks and crannies. Ease of Use My grandson (7) loves to show off his abilities to creat different drinks. Design Smooth, sleek. The blender is huge, so make sure you have a large space for it. Durability My son and daughter-in-law love to borrow the blender and stock their freezer when fresh fruits and vegetables are in season. So, it travels alot and always stands up to the test.

My family and I are vegan; so when most of our diet consists of fresh organic fruits and veggies, the Health Master provides a quick and easy solution for our dietary needs. With so many different uses in one machine, makes my life a whole lot easier. I make fresh juices daily and being able to utilize the entire fruit or vegetable helps cut back on waste but also helps me get the most nutrients I can. The emulsifier is what appealed to me most. I LOVE making fresh soup and within 10 minutes I get hot delicious soup ready to eat. Also, I don't have to worry about destroying vital nutrients by heat that the normal cooking process tends too do. When I bought this machine it came with a folder of recipes; dips, cocktails, soups, juices, smoothies, sorbets, ice cream, etc...its amazing how versatile this machine is and the great thing is its only ONE machine. So that means its perfect for a small kitchen with no counter space like me, or for the college kid in the dorm whose always on the go. This is a great machine and definitely worth the buy!!!!

Allows you to put fruits and veges together and emulsifies them so you don't know there are veges in there. Tastes great! I used to try this with my regular blender and you would see bits of spinach in your smoothie, but not with the Montel HealthMaster. Comparable to the vitamix for much less!

it is a handy blender that does a variety of things like make soup, frozen deserts, and breaks down fruit and vegetables in to a smooth liquid so you get all the nutrients and vitamins that get lost in the pulp when you use a juicer Blending Power has a very powerful motor so it quickly blend items Versatility i like how you can make a variety of healthy things with this multitasking blender like frozen deserts like sorbets,ice cream,frozen yogurt , etcetera and you can control what goes in to so you don't wind up with a bunch of sugar salt etcetera to make the product have a longer shelf life and because it has a powerful motor you can actually make hot soup in it Ease of Cleaning i like how you can put a teaspoon of dish soap in it and use the self-clean option you only have to manually clean it if you have used a dairy product in it. Ease of Use it is very easy to use Design they improved this model over the first model Durability this blender seem to be a quality made blender i have had it for approximately 4 months and have used it almost daily for smoothies soup and have made ice cream in it

The HealthMaster is one of the best purchases I have made in the past 3 years. The virsatility of my HealthMaster places it at the top for the kitchen appliance that I use the most. Blending Power You can place a variety of items in the healthMaster and it will blend, crush, mix anything you need. The power of the motor and the various speeds inwhich you can set is what I believe makes this machine one of the best that I have ever purchased. So much so that I have give all of my other blenders of this type away. Versatility What can I say, if you have not see the commercial of how this machince can go from making smoothies, to soup to ice cream. What more is there you can have your entire meal mixed in this machine. The HealthMaster makes mixing my smoothies a snap. Ease of Cleaning As with any mixers of this type you have the plastic pitcher with the stationary blade in the bottom. One would think that the blade would get in the way of cleaning, but, as long as you are careful with washing there is no fear of getting cut by the blade. I try running the machine with water and little soap then manual clean the sides and rinse. Ease of Use The HealthMaster is very easy to use. Just put what you need to mixed in the pitcher set the time and speed and let the machine to the work. You would not believe that the cold items do stay cold and the hot items that I have made, like soup mixes up great and all I had to do is pour into bowls and enjoy. Design The design is basic, I think if they would have made the pitcher a litter wider instead of higher it would be better. Especially when making soups and ice cream. The pitcher is just to high and will not fit under most cabinets. Durability I have only had my HealthMaster 2 years and todate, I have not had any issues.
