Reviews

It is a piece of equipment designed terribley. RFirst very difficult to clean the Too Much. The base is difficult to remove and almost impossible to replace without leakage. RSecondly, the double cut is very poorly designed. More often than not, the mixer would not work. If the lid on the Too Much has been made on Just Too Much, the mixer could not function. This became such a problem that, after less than 30 uses, this mixer makes it 's path to the trash. A RAlthough attractive piece of kitchen equipment, it 's weaknesses is completely unusable.

We have this blender in August 2005. You must be a "measuring cup with " to clean the blade. The measuring cup is made of plastic. It is not strong enough to do the job, and broke after a few uses. We ordered a replacement in August 2005 and it is not starting in January 2006 is here! They charged our credit card at time of order. The customer service lady said, "There is a new product, they don 't have parts ready. It is at the end of Feburuary ready. Wait " We need to clean our blender for half a year? At this point, I think we have no other choice. We hope it won again 't break, if we had that part of March. I must say that the mixer works fine, but you want a mixer you can buy 't really clean for 6 months? With such poor product support, I don 't recommend this company ' s products, especially in this mixer.

Had mixer for four months and the way you get to the bottom using burst open, it is plastic, and now I have no way to remove the floor to clean it. Otherwise, great mixer.

This mixer has great power. It crushed the whole pot of ice in just a few seconds. However, for cleaning the measuring cup is used in the top to remove the leaves from the bottom of the pot. We thought we had made sure the blades again, and after a minute or so of the mixture, which began leaking jug Since the blades were knocked loose during the process. Other than that, it worked great.
