Montel Williams Blender
Review

Touted as a blender that will do everything...Does it?

The Montel Williams Blender, originaly known as the HealthMaster Fruit and Vegetable Emulsifier, is promoted as a blender that will do everything. Instead of just blending, this blender is supposed to juice, grind, grate, whip and 26 more things that normal blenders do not do.

It can replace everything in your kitchen from the snow cone maker to the coffee grinder to the garlic press and more.

With all of these features, the Montel blender is designed to be your main kitchen tool. It should do so many things with ease that you can get rid of many of the other small appliances that clutter your shelves and counters. This blender promises to make your life easier by helping you simplify things in your kitchen. Because it does so much, cooking should be easier and you should spend more time eating healthy food with your family.

Features

The Montel Williams Blender features a wet-dry stainless steel blade that will allow you to blend anything without worrying about mold or mildew. In addition, its 70 ounce pitcher is big enough to blend whole batches of soup at once, or smoothies for a large group. The pitcher is also made of a polycarbonate blend, so it is dishwasher safe and difficult to damage, scratch, and destroy.

In addition, the Montel blender has 8 speeds, allowing you the ultimate in control over its blending power. It also has built-in safety feature that will stop the blender when it is in danger of overheating and allow you to restart it once the motor has cooled off. With a motor of nearly 2 horsepower, this blender has more power than almost all of the consumer-grade machines on the market, giving it the power to take on the toughest kitchen tasks.

Advantages

The power of the Montel Williams blender is its main advantage. Not only can it crush ice and chop raw vegetables, but it can make nut butters and shred meat, which are two tasks beyond the reach of most blenders. The versatility of this machine also gives it an advantage over other kitchen blenders, as it does so many different tasks, all in one small appliance. Instead of being just another appliance that you have to find space for, this blender makes it so you have more space for other things.

Disadvantages

While the Montel Williams Blender is powerful, it is not as powerful as some other blenders that make similar claims. Though it is also somewhat cheaper, it may not be worth paying less for a blender that does not do everything it is supposed to do.

Also, some users report problems with some of the more heavy-duty features of the Montel blender, like its ability to help you make nut butter. These users report that the blender gets close to overheating, turns off, and will not start for 15-20 minutes, and that it does this several times during the course of one batch. Needless to say, this could make some heavy-duty blending tasks even more difficult than usual, not easier.

Consumer Reviews

Summary

While the Montel blender has a lot of potential, it is probably worthwhile to spend a little more to get a more heavy-duty model if you're going to do a lot of blending with thick substances. If, on the other hand, you want to blend soups and make the occasional smoothie, this blender will more than get the job done.
