pouring out always a mess!!!! August 29, 2010 Tineke Cuisinart BFP-10CH PowerBlend Duet Blender - I got it a few months ago and use it few times a week for breakfast fruit blended drinks, however, I find the spout being in the middle of the glass container always makes a mess pouring out the drink..... even if I pour from a corner, still messy.
I would like to see the next blender with a well-thought-out pouring spout from the glass jar. I also experience the weird "smell" that others talk about, as if it is going to burn out.... Wished somebody would explain what that is and if it will eventually disappear??
Buy it if you plan to use it for one year only August 14, 2010 Jose Ribeiro This set looks good, but after one year the food processor broke (the black part coupling to the base engine is of plastic material and broke). I kept using the blender, but now, after another couple of years, the white plastic shaft holding the blender blades cracked and leaks. A lot of parts are plastic on this machine, I guess this is a problem with Cuisinart products, because I also purchased a SmartStick miniprep, very useful for the first year, but the non-metal engine coupler turned into dust and it does not work any more. I will stay out of Cuisinart products!

I bought this blender with high hopes. My first one made a couple great smoothies. Then it started smoking like it was about to burst in flames. I returned it and got another thinking it was just a fluke. My second one lasted about 9 months with limited use and only using the low speeds. I was having some problems blending a smoothie and kicked it up to the higher gears and clicked the ice crusher button a couple of times and it died. After research it seems the ice crusher button is a kill switch for this blender. If you keep it in the low gears its great and who wouldn't want a food processor but if you kick it up into a higher gear make sure you have room in your trash and kiss your money good buy.

I bought this blender to make smoothies for the summer and have made at least one a day since getting it and it has worked great!!! It blends my frozen fruit fine and I just used the food processor today for the first time..I grated cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, olives and garlic and it chopped them all evenly!! I love this blender!!
It caught on fire. July 11, 2010 Ecneipas 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We didn't use it to crush ice, just the occasional blend or puree. Minimal use with moderate ingredient density (nuts were the hardest things it had to chop).
Today, we used it to make a smoothie. No ice, simply bananas and milk. After 30 seconds, smoke started to pour out from the side vents. Luckily, we managed to stop it in time before it truly burst into flames.
We think that the internal mechanism caught on fire as the smoke smelt of burnt rubber and fried circuitry. Smoke kept on pouring out even after we pulled the plug.
It's a fire hazard and dangerous. It didn't see heavy use and the mechanism was never exposed to water. We think its cheap/faulty wiring is the cause.
Would NEVER buy again and we highly discourage anyone from buying this product.
