I use a blender for making dips and salad dressings. Most of my base ingredients are cheeses which can and have burned up several blender motors. This unit is very powerful and there has not been a hint of a hot motor on any of my creations as yet. With it's simple controls it is preventing me from destroying it. Who needs ten plus power selections like on most blenders. We all have smelled burning motor coils on products like this one. I have finally met my match and look forward to many more creative dip and dressing moments.

I researched a significant number of blenders before choosing this one, all the way up to Vitamix and Blendtec. I had believed that the correct price-point for around two hundred dollars, so started my search there. Nearly every blender I read about had some fatal flaw, so I was surprised to find this model at under one hundred. I am very happy with this blender. The designers at Cuisinart really put some thought into this product.
We've been using it for about 1 month, probably 3-4 time per week. Lots of smoothies and soups.
In summary, here are the things that convinced me to buy this model, or have pleasantly surprised me while using it:
1) Removable blades for cleaning. Many higher-end model don't allow this, and I believe this will lead to gross stuff growing in the bottom. But beware, the blades are sharp.
2) Rubber ring sealing the jar with the blades/base. I believe this is the smart way to design a blender.
3) Easy to remove screw-on base from jar. Rubber ring makes it easy to know how tight to make it.
4) Sealed buttons on motor unit--doesn't allow liquids to get into motor unit. Buttons have small LEDs on them.
5) Clever design of base of jar, that captures drips before they get into motor or on counter.
6) Very quiet in low speed setting (surprisingly quiet, but typically powerful enough for the job). But noisy (as expected) at high speed.
7) Nicely designed/secure lid for jar. Seals tight, but not hard to remove. A flexible plastic, with several tiers of seals.
8) Glass jars isn't too heavy, and its weight keeps the jar from moving during blending (you don't need to hold it). Good handle.
9) Pressed metal motor enclosure is durable and looks very nice. It's not plastic/cheap. Hopefully not prone to scratches.
10) Coupling/interface between motor and jar/blades is plastic, but a slightly flexible plastic that I believe will last a long time, since it absorbs the mechanical shock at start-up.
11) Looks nice enough to leave on counter.
12) Jar design is reasonably good at keeping contents blending. Requires some pushing if frozen fruit put in, unless you add some liquid, too. Vitamix has a flat-bottom jar which probably works better, but those units are 4-7x the price.
13) Limited number of buttons. Not sure why some models really need 5-10 speed settings.
14) No leaks so far.
Features like slow start and auto-pulse (like on some other more expensive blenders) may have been nice additions, but I didn't see too many reviews that claimed these features were so important.
Again, I am really pleased with this blender, especially at the price-point. And I praise the designers for putting some clever features into it.
