Chefman Obliterator 48 oz Countertop Blender for Smoothies, 1380W Motor to Crush Ice, Nuts, and Frozen Fruit with Stainless Steel Blade, Auto Blend Function, Includes Tamper and Scraper - Concrete

After an early demise of my kitchen aid K400 (absolute garbage), I did a little sleuthing and came across strong recommendations for the Chefman Obliterator. I saw a black friday sale and decided to pull the trigger - for $50, I couldn't really go wrong. Wow. This blender is incredible. It's quiet, powders dry ingredients and purees wet things very quickly, and is super easy to use and clean. It does everything better than the kitchen aid while costing a fraction of the price. I'm super impressed. The only drawbacks are that there is no off switch, so it has some constant power draw when plugged in, and if you overfill the lid will leak a little. But the latter is probably by design so hot ingredients don't build up pressure when blending, and easily avoided. We'll see how long it lasts, but even if I get two years it will have lasted longer than the Kitchen Aid for far less cost.

I went with my gut purchasing this blender based on ratings and so glad I did. It's awesome! I hoped it would be comparable to my old Vitamix and not disappointed. Mostly use for frozen fruit/kale/greens/ice smoothies and kills it! There's really not a thing I don't love about it. Love smaller size, love design, love POWER, love control options, love price. Unbelievable bargain. I confidently recommend this blender for anyone who loves a fantastic deal on a quality product.

This thing is the best blender I have ever used. It just destroys the frozen fruit. Yes it is plastic but it works great, super easy to clean. The lid seals nice and tight, blades seem very sharp and has power for days! The best thing about this is how easy it is to clean!

This was a great blender…..until it broke. It was used once a week(at most) to make a smoothie. It did a very good job. However, a few months in, it broke. The part the attaches from the body to the jar and spins the blade is turned by a piece of plastic. This plastic piece predictably broke and now I have a paperweight.

Amazing blender, I’m SO glad I bought it! This blender makes fantastic smoothies, purées, meal prepping so easy! And, for the price you can’t beat it, I highly recommend this blender!

Updated and changed from 2 to 4 stars. Chefman sent a new blender to me after filling out the warranty claim. It still took a month or two to get resolution. The new version has more metal gears instead of plastic, so it looks like they learned their lesson on that. Original review. Worked well for 6 months. Blended smoothies, soups, shakes, peanut butter and anything else with ease. Then making a smoothie one morning the blade totally stopped. Similar to other folks, the main gear is plastic and cracked on both sides. I have submitted a claim with Chefman and will see the response. Pending resolution I'll update my review.

This blender is remarkably durable, standing out for its robust construction. Unlike many other blenders, it operates at a significantly lower noise level, making it a pleasant addition to any kitchen. Cleaning is a breeze, thanks to its thoughtful design. The blades are incredibly sharp and powerful, ensuring efficient blending every time. Additionally, the plastic used in its construction feels high-quality and sturdy. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend this blender to others.

You want to blend? Puree? Make a smoothie? This thing will knock your socks off. It literally obliterates everything, which is what I wanted. Tired of blenders that don't quite get everything mixed and pureed? Tired of those stupid little hand blenders that are supposed to make great smoothies but woudn't chop the requisite ice if it's life depended on it? This is your new friend. It DOES make quite a loud noise. If you have a sleeping baby or are trying to watch TV in the same room, forget it. It sounds like a B-52 bomber taking off. But, it's worth the noise. No odor, no gasket that accumulates your last 20 smoothies until you finally remember to peek under it and find the crud. Sharp blades will handle anything but rocks. No smell, no tasted. Diswasher safe. A great feature is that it's weighty, and very non-skid, so it doesn't travel across the countertop. Sleek design, we leave ours out all the time. Happy to find a blender that is finally, a blender that rivals a drink counter.
