Back To Basics Blender Express



Possibly adequate but there's a better bet.
I started with this unit, it immediately failed, the company that's absorbed Back to Basics was quick to send me a new one in exchange for my defective one. In the meantime, I picked up the comparably priced Hamilton Beach Personal Blender. I'm now alternating the two every other day.

It's no contest. The Hamilton Beach may be a simpler and lighter, wimpier-looking machine, but it's an infinitely superior design and is deceptively powerful. It's quick, handy, and clean! With the Hamilton Beach, you're not turning the cannister upside down, screwing and unscrewing different covers on it for each use, and best off all there's no spill-over and drippage every time you use it (a good day is one on which, after using the Blender Express, I don't have goopy pants and a sticky car seat by the time I make it to the job).

defective+poor warrantee service
After using the machine a couple dozen times, it started making a lot of (extra) noise and smelled of burning wire insulation. Back to Basics has farmed out their warranty repairs, and that company, Focus Electric of West Bend, WI, informed me they are backed up with work (no response to their receipt of the item two weeks ago).

great product
i've recently started a diet program where i have to drink shakes every day and using the blender express has made it that much easier and convenient to travel with so i dont have to wait till i get home late at nights to use the big blender. i just store my blender express in my locker at work.
