Cuisinart CBT-500FP SmartPower Premier Duet Blender

We wanted a blender that could crush ice for margaritas. This blender advertised it could crush ice. However, the motor doesn't seem to be powerful enough to do so. Ici cubes still come out in big chunks.

Great performing, looking blender/food processor. I have used it several times a week for over 2 years and it can handle pretty much anything I put in it.

I received this appliance as a Christmas present two years ago. The food processor blades stripped out within the first six months. The blender blades stripped within a year. I have replaced both with little or no hassle.

bought this because it matched my stainless steel kitchen apps.
