VillaWare 5785 Smoothee Bar 2-Speed Blender

Pros: does what it was designed to do. Lightweight for travel. Ideal for outdoor use.

Cons: Be prepared to wipe it down when you are done. It is rather loud

Review: We have owned the double version for over a year. We absolutely love it. It has traveled with us to the islands, the mountains, Jimmy Buffett concerts and everywhere in between. It makes the smoothest drinks I have ever had. It does not even compare to ...

Pros: Low cost -- Easy to use and clean

Cons: Spout can drip instead of pour

The Bottom Line: This is an easy to use, inexpensive unit that makes great smoothies!

Review: We drink a lot of smoothees at our house. It is one way I am sure the whole family gets a good supply of fruits daily. Sadly, I can't say the same thing for my grandmother! She is getting older, (late 80's) and we are all worried she isn't eating ...

Pros: Inexpensive, makes great smoothies, easy to clean

Cons: Plastic - not sure on the longevity

Review: We have had this for a month or two. So far it works great. I haven't had any of the problems others talk about - leaking, making a mess, etc. Being plastic you have to be a little careful of how tight you screw the spout and base on - but with ...

Pros: Chops ice and blends smoothies pretty good

Cons: Can't get it clean enough; it's loud; it "runs" on the counter

The Bottom Line: I have mixed feeling about this one. It blends well, but I've had trouble cleaning it. Maybe others won't have that problem. Personally, I'm not going to buy another one.

Review: I only use this blender for smoothies, usually just fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, protein powder, and ice. THE PROS: It blends my smoothies pretty well and chops ice just fine. I really haven't complained about the quality of smoothies this blender ...

Pros: Makes the smoothest smoothies and other frozen drinks

Cons: Cheap quality. Leaks like a sieve.

The Bottom Line: If you don't mind the extra work of an extensive clean-up afterwards (from leakage) it does what it states. However, I think I would opt for better quality next time.

Review: You know, I really want to like this blender. I use it fairly regularly (2-3 times per week) but it has really turned into a love/hate relationship. First, it can do a great job of making smoothies and frozen coffee drinks. However, it can't do it ...

Pros: the motor works, it never burns out no matter how much you rev it up.

Cons: nothing else on this thing works.

Review: This thing leaks so bad that I lose half my protein shake every time. The bottom often comes out when you try to pour the shake, so you lose everything. It has come apart several times and I've had it leak all over my kitchen. I've gone through 4 ...

Pros: Does a great job with Smothee

Cons: Plastic, Poor Support, and Noisy

Review: We had this "Smoothee Bar Blender” for about 2 weeks. During the time it worked it was great !! However due to this Blender being mostly plastic... Guess what.. It broke. Some more downsides are: Can't order parts on line. Support is only during the ...
