GE - 5-Speed 64-Oz. Blender with Blender Cups - Stainless Steel

Such a good blender for smoothies! Blends everything so smoothly. Love it!!

Amazing Blender, easy and Convenient to use. It has a carry on cup.

As far as blenders go, this GE model is both easy and versatile to use. The controls are simple and intuitive to operate and the blender offers the flexibility of either bulk or personal sized blending. The control layout is as straightforward as it gets and has only three controls: a 5-speed adjustable knob for speed control, a start/stop button and a pulse button. This set includes a large 72-ounce Tritan blender jar for larger blends and two individual blender cups for personal blends. The personal cups allow quick blends that can go from the blender into a backpack, gym bag or cupholder in minutes. The personal blender cups are not only great for single serving on the go blends but also require minimal cleanup afterward. I simply swap the blade attachment for a normal lid and rinse the blade attachment. The 72-ounce jar is lightweight and easy to use as well when larger multi-person quantities are needed. Of course, a blender is only as good as its motor, drive parts and blades. Build quality and durability of the more vulnerable parts seems good so far. I’ve had no problems blending smoothies typically containing frozen fruits, yogurt, fresh greens and several whole cube ice cubes along with other ingredients. The 1,000-watt motor gets the job done for everything we throw at it and the pulse feature makes quick work of chunks of frozen fruit. The blades appear sturdy and handle more demanding ingredients like ice well. I usually only blend shakes and smoothies, so the blades should hold up fine. I don’t blend soups or frozen cocktails, so I can’t speak specifically to how well this blender prepares either. I won’t chance a guess on soups but given how well it handles frozen smoothies, I’d assume it would handle frozen cocktails like daiquiris equally well. It’s easy to reach the desired smoothie consistency in both the jar and the cups. The stainless body is sleek and doesn’t require a lot of counter space like some of the larger, stubbier bodied blenders. The feet have suction to prevent the blender from sliding or tipping during use. The motor is loud, as I’d expect from a 1,000 watt blender. The blending cups and jar attach and detach easily to the motor housing and create good seals. Overall, it’s a nice sized blender with plenty of power and the versatility to be used as either a traditional or personal blender.

The materials the quality is not good. It blends better than a ninja. I’m afraid is not going to last a month.

I got this blender last week and have been trying out various recipes to test it out. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how well it works. We have had a Ninja for a few years and that has been the standard for what a good blender can do for me. This one definitely kept up and is better with a few things as well. In terms of blending food like salsa, this worked without a problem. I love blended salsa and this made it look like it was from a good Mexican restaurant. To me the best way to test a blender is to see how it does with blended drinks. I had my daughter make a blended slushy drink with ice cubes and this performed a lot better than my Ninja ever did. With the Ninja I always had small chunks of ice still in the drink. The GE completely blended the ice so there weren't any chunks. Overall, this is a nice blender and I would recommend it for the daily blending tasks, as well as the tougher ones like blended drinks.

This blender works extremely well. It also is built very solid. It looks great with its stainless steel finish and compliments other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Would highly recommend this unit to other people. Very quiet when operating and stays put on counter top with suction cups built into base.

My previous blender was getting old and this one arrived just in time. As my kids get older, they are beginning to enjoy smoothies so I find myself making them for 4 instead of just myself and my wife. The capacity of this blender (72 ounces) allows you to easily fill four pint glasses with your favorite smoothie recipe in a single batch. Here are some other things I took notes of: Pros: - No need for bells and whistles. There's just an on/off button, a pulse button, and a radio dial for power. - 2 smaller containers are included so that you can easily take your beverages on the go. - If you don't want to use the large pitcher, you can blend in one of the smaller to-go containers with the 2nd blade. - Suction cups securely hold the base in place on your kitchen counter. Even at full power it will not move around. - The containers are dishwasher safe! Cons: - The blade will be challenging to clean as it does not detach from the blender jar. But this can also be a good thing as there is less chance of leaks. Regardless, make sure you rinse quickly after use before any liquids have a chance to harden in place. This is an affordable and sturdy blender that I expect to suit our needs for many years.

Solid Blender What can you really say about a blender right? It works good or it doesn’t. This GE blender works and works great! It has a super easy and intuitive on/off button plus the ever necessary pulse button is very responsive. The lay out of the power button and the pulse button next to each other and the positioning of the power setting wheel under them are neat and clean. My old blender had a million settings and all I did was use the fast and slow settings and pulse. This GE blender keeps it smart and simple which to me is the epitome of functionality. The Stainless steel looks great with all my other stainless steel kitchen appliances we have. I also really like that on the back two legs of the base of the blender are suction cups! That was a cool surprise and really locks the blender on the kitchen cabinet nice and level. Nice touch! The 5 power levels are more than enough to match any task. We did frozen margaritas, crushed some ice and did a few smoothies that turned out great. The two travel cups were also nice. Another plus I liked was the base of the pitcher itself (not he motor base, although as noted above I loved that as well). It has a very solid seat to it that makes sure it won’t tip over on your counter and a solid "click" to make sure it is in place on the motor base. My older pitcher narrowed at the base and was top heavy as a result. Not so with this GE blender. Over all great blender!

Perfect for smoothies and the daily use, great power and the extra bottles are very helpful.
