Designer 725
across 5 reviews
3.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • 100-speed capacitive touch slider gives precise manual control not found on lower-tier models
  • Six pre-programmed cycles — including a self-cleaning cycle — run automatically and stop without monitoring
  • Blunt, thick blade design makes jar safer to handle and easier to clean
Reviewers push back
  • Rubber gasket at the base of the jar shredded repeatedly during nut-butter blending in CNET testing, causing leaks and rendering the jar unusable
  • The jar is not locked or secured to the base, allowing movement under high-torque loads
  • Smart Blend fault detection and inspirational display messages, while charming to some, add complexity that may not suit straightforward users
it's just not designed to handle it
