Blendtec Mix N' Blend II

A good helper in kitchen. I love this product. The mixer and blender work very well. But it's a little noisy when the machine is working.

I could not be happier! I have used a Kitchen Aid for years and was never happy with it and only used it when I had to. I have used this mix n' blend every day. It makes wonderful bread, the blender grinds the grain wonderfully. It makes incredible smoothies, ice cream and so much more! I was comparing this to a Bosch and I'm so happy I bought this one. Yes, it is loud but I don't mind I have small children and it's quieter then they are! I would highly recommend and I know you'll love it!

I need a new mixer and started doing research on Kitchen Aid. Whilst it is a standard in most kitchen,I have been concern in what I have been reading. Got a hint in one of the reviews that a Bosch is a better alternative. Further research found that we (US) makes one just like the Bosch, but more powerful and MADE in the US and cheaper. I love the mixer for bread and cookies, and the very powerful blender is a great bonus. Had a Vita mix but this Blender is better, seems just as powerful, but more intelligent and much easier to clean and most of all it fits under the cabinets. Great combination and at a good price, especially when it replaces a Kitchen Aid and a Vita Mix. Just wish that it has the motor size of a TOTAL Blender![...]

I was looking at purchasing a KitchenA** Pro Series or Cuisin*** Stand Mixer, [$]( I burnt/broke my HSN Wolfgang P*** Stand Mixer)My Blender was 10 years old and worn out and gunky from lots of Margaritas. I really did not understand how the mixerbowl worked but I decided to give the Mix Blend a try. I am able to make cookie dough which is what I most wanted it for. The Blender portion is incredible-1000 watts of power makes Commercial Grade Smoothies at home-my kids who wont eat fruit request banana-strawberry smoothies everyday now. I have seen this brand in use at a National Chain ([...]) Makes a killer frozen Margarita. Clean up is a breeze and digital read out is easy to follow and makes it nearly impossible to make a mistake. It makes a lot of bread dough, Three loaves my first batch, but I really only need a stand mixer to make cake batter and mix cookie dough which I have gotten to lazy to mix by hand. I replaced two broken worn out appliances, saving [$] cash and even more valuable counter space! What a great deal. The packaging appeared to have been opened and resealed-White foam which surrounded unit was broken and taped up. The DVD which was included was for a older version of the unit but I got the idea. Visiting the manufactures web site was helpful.
