Good value for the price
Quieter than our old Ninja (aren't Ninja's supposed to be quiet?!?), our BlendWorks All-In-One blender has been ideal. We drink a smoothie every morning, so it gets daily use. Drink comes out smooth and no chunks of nuts remain un-blended. I was very pleased for the five months we've had it, until yesterday morning when it just wouldn't turn on. I tried other outlets, and when I'd flip the switch and gently turn the dial, NOTHING! I was very disappointed. Contacted the company that provided the extended warranty, and they put me in touch with the manufacturer. E-mailed them my problem, and they replied with the solution: turn off, unplug, and press 'reset' button on the bottom of the unit. Wait 20 minutes, then test with regular ingredients. It worked perfectly. So now, I'm not only pleased with the unit itself, but also with the timely support I received from BlendWorks.Do pay attention to the instructions that you must never turn the unit on or off unless the blending dial is turned completely to the left to the 'off' position. So, turn on the 'ON' switch, gently and slowly turn the blend dial to the right, when done, slowly return blend dial to the left (STOP), then lastly turn 'OFF' the power switch. If you follow these instructions, you should enjoy the power of this blender with no problems.I have only one complaint about the canister. The 'lip' where you pour your blended liquid is very wide, and allows smoothie to drip after you finish pouring, even if you try to catch the 'drop' on the edge of the glass. A small thing, for sure, but if anyone from BlendWorks is reading this, maybe you'd consider narrowing the pour spout.

and Vitamix - they were very good and very very loud almost deafening
ok i have used this blender for about 2 weeks. I have owned several over 375.oo blenders in the past i.e. Blendtek, and Vitamix - they were very good and very very loud almost deafening . I had never heard of Blendworks ? but the reviews were so good i decided to purchase it as my Blendtek housing started to leak after about 4 years.this machine is obviously built very well. Every part has a professional solid feel to it. It has a very solid rubber base and Its switches make sense - its design is well thought out. It juices very well. One of the most impressive things to me is that this 2.5HP machine - is about 80% more quiet than any other blender i have ever owned. With other blenders I have almost lost my hearing when its on high - with this blender its just amazingly more quiet. I don't know how they make it so quiet relatively --and it juices very well for me --thus far very happy with my purchase and hope it last for 3+ years is my goal :)

Initially great, but broke after only a few months. UPDATE: Great Customer Service
We bought this at the end of February because our last blender, which lasted years, finally broke down. We only used this BlendWorks blender for smoothies. Initially it worked great, much quicker than our last blender to break down the components and create delicious smoothies. However, two days ago my wife was using it and hear a clunk sound and the blades stopped moving. This was annoying because we ended up having to throw out the mix we were using as it was partially blended. From what we can tell the base works just fine, but there is a piece we can't get to between the base and the blades that is no longer causing the blades to turn when it's turned on. We are very disappointed that only about five months in and this expensive blender is broken.Update to original review: I reached out to BlendWorks customer service folks and they have been nothing but great to deal with! They will be shipping me out a new jug to replace the broken one and have also let me know that should that not resolve the problem, that they would certainly replace the whole unit. I have dealt with some really awful customer service departments recently so this is immensely refreshing to deal with a company that cares! I would recommend them to anyone and can only wish that more companies put as much effort into their customer service as BlendWorks does.

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH MY PURCHASE!
Let me preface my review by saying I started eating healthy after surviving breast cancer. As a single mom with two teenagers, I want to be here for them. If that means I eat very differently and exercise, so be it. So I'm mostly eating vegetables (organic), no dairy, very little meat (but organic, grass-fed, free range meat), etc. I finally started finding sources for the healthiest food, but consuming it during a very busy schedule was another challenge. Who has time to consume 4-6 cups of salad during their lunch hour? I know I didn't. So I started looking at juicing. A friend graciously offered to let me try her juicer. Oh am I glad she did! That was NOT for me. The mess, the hassle, and the TIME! Plus I didn't like the results. Enter blender. Now I had a blender from my Mom that I think is from the 1970's (it's GOLD in color if that gives you a clue). I had to chop everything into tiny bits AND add lots of liquid to get it to somewhat blend. I never achieved a true "smoothie". It was more like a "chunkie". I didn't enjoy chewing my smoothies and it took FOREVER to chop everything and then blend it. So I started the search for a new blender. I asked for recommendations (and received plenty). Most were for a blender in the $600 range. Really? I'm a single mom! I don't have $600 to plop down on a BLENDER. So I started doing my own research. I found the BlendWorks here on Amazon. After reading the description, doing comparisons, and then thinking about it for about a week (the $250 price was still a significant investment for me), I decided to take the plunge. I COULDN'T BE MORE THRILLED WITH MY PURCHASE. I literally use this blender at least twice a day. My son especially has jumped on the healthy smoothie band wagon with me. So I'm making typically two meals a day for me and at least one for him with this blender. I am particularly amazed at how easily this blender pulverizes spinach! I use LOTS of spinach, and it completely liquefies it in a few seconds. This means NO MORE LIQUIDS added to my smoothies. I LOVE that! I core apples and put the wedges in (all at once). NO PROBLEM! I take the meat of an entire avocado and drop it in. Poof! Blended smoothly almost immediately. If I want it thicker, I add some ice. This is where it's totally AWESOME: the ice is completely chopped in a couple of pulses.I use the spatula (provided) to scoop out the healthy (and delicious!) goodness into the provided to-go cup. I'm still amazed how quickly I can put together a smoothie now. No chopping things into tiny pieces. No blending FOREVER and still not getting a true smoothie. I can make two meals in about 10-15 minutes top (including washing/cutting veggies and everything). One of my favorite parts: EVERYTHING that touched the food goes in the dishwasher! The jug, cup, and accessories have easily gone through the dishwasher at least 50 times already. They are none the worse for the experience. They come out crystal clean and ready to go again. There's also an added bonus that I probably would not have appreciated without using the "ancient" blender previously. There's a rubber piece that covers the main unit (that the jug sits upon). On my old blender, this area gets so grimy, and it's almost impossible to clean. With the BlendWorks, I can pull that rubber piece OFF and rinse it off to get it completely clean. Then it goes right back into place again! Now, I don't know if my previous experience is jaded by my very old unit, but I also experienced this with my Bullet - they seem excessively LOUD. My little Shih Tzu runs into her crate when those are running. This one doesn't seem as loud. Now that's probably also related to the fact that I only have to run the BlendWorks for 30-60 seconds to create a completely smooth smoothie. I had a question about my BlendWorks blender, so I contacted Customer Service through their website. Not only did I get a response, but it was prompt, courteous, and greatly exceeded my expectations. This is a company that stands behind their product!! This is a product that is literally changing our lives for the better. I am SOOOO glad I purchased a BlendWorks blender. I tell everyone I know about it and make smoothies for anyone that will let me. I hope to avoid a recurrence of breast cancer by this healthier lifestyle - which includes lots of smoothies made in this blender. I know you won't be disappointed by this blender!! Happy BlendWorks Blending! :-D

Buyer Beware
I bought this blender on June 2020 based on all the positive reviews and the fact that it has a 3 year warranty. It worked well enough . I did not use this blender on a daily basis and have used it about 12 times at the most.Unfortunately, it stopped working about 2 weeks ago. I reached out to the seller who has been co-operative but basically referred me to the manufacturer. I have called and it goes to voice message. I left a message. I also sent 2 emails and I have not heard back from them so far. This is very unprofessional and unacceptable. I have reached out to Amazon customer service and they will be checking on the manufacturer to see if they can get through. Otherwise, there is a very high like hood that this manufacturer will be removed from this platform for false claims.
