 Leaky-Leaky-LeakyOct 17, 2008
I have this smoothie machine. After I used it about 5 times the spout started to leak. About the 7th time it started to leak around the rubber ring right into the bottom of the machine. It also spray out of the top where the plunger is. I was very disappointed in this item.

We received the smoothie 600 pro as a gift we had never used it! the first time out of the box. The motor burned up.
Don't bother to buy this crummy product, if you do, you'll be sorry!Jul 13, 2007
I bought the Smoothie Pro over a year ago. It made some very nice smoothies(even though the machine is VERY noisy and very hard to take apart to clean). Then the little handle on the spigot broke and then the fun started. I have been emailing Back to Basics folks for over 3 months now. The only reply I ever got was to my last email. It was an automated response saying, "we'll get back to ya"...someday, maybe.... Still, nothing. No pleading, Threats of posting rotten product reviews, nothing seems to motivate them to respond to help with my broken product. They had a great idea, too bad they can't build a product that lasts, or at least attempt to supply replacement parts or provide any form of customer service. As a side note, if you DO have one of these, be sure to completly take apart the little spigot mechanism and clean it. I was in for a really gross surprise when I found black mold in there. YUK-O
Smoothie Pro LeakerApr 18, 2007
After approximately 20 uses -- mostly frozen fruit and orange juice blends -- the bottom, screw on part of the blender began to slip during blending process. That means when you go to pick up the container unit to pour into glasses, the bottom falls off and you end up with smoothie all over the counter.
Wish I hadn'tSep 06, 2006
I wish I had read these reviews before picking this product up. I made several smoothies with ice and had little problems at first. Then after repeated use with just milk, protein powder and other ingredients (ie: fruit, coffee, spices) the bottom started to slip and spill and have had two incidents too many where the bottom came off totally and all my expensive protein powder and other ingredients made a huge, huge mess. The device on the spout broke off, it is loud, it does make that burning smell someone else mentioned, and the most infuriating- the bottom pops off (a major design flaw in the way the bottom is slid together with the main "cup" of the smoothie maker). I am really disappointed in the product and will invest in a better brand of product soon. Till then it's lumpy protein shakes. It's not exactly an inexpensive piece of kitchen machinery, and now I have to go purchase another one (only better). I see by someone else's reveiw that it would be futile to go to the company for a replacement product.
