Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers praise the Power Elite for its smooth blending of fibrous ingredients and effective ice crushing, noting the 700 W motor and Wave~Action® system produce texture scores near 9/10. They appreciate the straightforward 5‑button layout and dishwasher‑safe components, but criticize the limited speed range, lack of low‑speed settings, and modest 40‑oz capacity, which reduce its versatility versus higher‑end models.
What Users Say
Everyday users commend the blender’s strong performance on smoothies and frozen drinks, the mess‑free pour spout, and the ease of cleaning thanks to dishwasher‑safe parts. Common complaints revolve around noisy operation, cheap‑feeling buttons, occasional lid leaks when overfilled, and difficulty handling very thick nut‑butter blends without manual intervention.
Common Complaints
Noise level during operation, cheap‑feeling button durability, occasional lid leaks when overfilled, limited speed range with only high‑speed presets, and the relatively small 40‑oz glass jar for larger batches.
