(More customer reviews)This will have to be short and sweet due to limited time but I had to offer my opinion.
I have been looking for a whole food/ raw food blender for about a month. I have already returned 3 blenders to other stores, as eating whole foods and raw foods require more power then your typical walmart/ kmart blender can offer. The Bullet was a joke. The cuisinart, such a disappointment.
First, I must say that I am a bargain shopper. Although I do love high end quality, I very rarely pay top dollar for anything. If I can buy a top quality item used, I will. A Vitamix blender would have been the ideal for me, but I simply wasnt willing to lay down 400-500 dollars. Nor was I about to even go used on it, which would have run me about 250.00. Call me cheap, but I knew there had to be something out there that at least came close to it.
I happened upon the Healhmaster 100 online. I compared the wattage, horse power, and style (with tamper) to its rival, the Vitamix. Mind you of course, if I was a wealthy person and money was no object, I would be writing a review of a vitamix right now. But, since I already spent so much money on a grain mill, Bosch mixer and other neccessities I was forced to bargain shop.
I am NOT sorry. This machine is awesome and does not struggle as the others did. I can make frozen fruit ice cream with no problem and no stuggles. Within a minute or two, I was enjoying creamy fresh fruit ice cream. This is a big deal for me, as I have been trying to make this particular recipe for about a month with no success. The other blenders struggled and could not achieve the creamy texture I wanted. I had to continually turn them off, use a wooden spoon to push the mixture down and pulse again for only a second, then turn it off again. This went on and on and took forever.
For the money, the HM 100 is a powerful machine that can handle very challanging raw food recipes. I have seen the vitamix being used at a raw food class, and the HM100 compares in style and power.
I hope this review helps other indecisive consumers who are looking for a less expensive option to something like the Vitamix.
If you looking for a high end blender with a lower end price tag, you might want to consider trying this out.
UPDATE: I have been using this machine for 1 month on mostly raw style recipes, green smoothies, hummus and nut butters and so on. I am so happy with it. It has completely and soundly completed any task I have stuffed it with!!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Still kicking butt!! I have had no problems with leakage, as others say they have. Hope I never do. I have used this machine almost daily for 4-5 months, making many raw recipes and green smoothies. IT STILL ROCKS!!
