HealthMaster Fruit & Vegetable Emulsifier

this is a huge disappointment - not only because it is such a large unit, but because it worked one day then "kapput" nothing the next.
the canister and lid are very hard to twist on/off, and the unit will not turn on unless they are locked in place, if you have arthritis, you're out of luck.
the motor starts to smell after using it for more than 1 minute, for making soups and emulsifying hard veggies to remove the pulp.
when it's working, it's a great product and the smoothies, soups etc taste wonderful, but this is not a quality product that lasts, dont be fooled by the lifestime motor warranty, it's very difficult to get support and you have to pay $35 for shipping each time...not worth it, just go find another product that your neighbour or friends have in their home - you'll be a lot happier and you'll save your money.
if i was montel, i would be embarrassed to have my name on such a huge disappointment and waste of money.

I have used this blender for the past year to make soup and also smoothies....it is a good blender. I agree with Theora's comments it is very easy to clean.

Purchased this product less than a year ago. Well it does what for the most part what it says the quality of the product leaves a lot to be desired. I found that if I didn't dice up the vegtables I was putting into the unit it would jam up and kickout. I would then have to press the reset button to get it working again. After less than a 100 uses the container unit start to leak at the bottom where the blade attachment is. Once this start after about another 20 - 30 uses the unit won't start. It indicates power to it but can't be started. Save your money. Do Not Purchase.

Because it's an "As Seen On TV" item I was a bit sceptical, but I am SO HAPPY that I took a chance on this product. It's better than I could've imagined. I am so impressed with the ease of use (including minimal clean up) and that it's cheaper to use than a juicer. Because I'm using all of the fruit or vegetables, I don't need to use as much therefore my grocery bill is less. Made soup for the first time yesterday and it is hands down better than any tinned version, and just as tasty as all-day simmer soups. Good design for my kitchen, quality construction and less noisy than my juicer (which I will be giving away now!).
