Buyer Beware
By robert campbell
UPDATE 9/9/2010: This unit has been out for awhile now, and the complaints are rising steadily, not only here at Amazon, but other sites as well. The complaints, that surface either immediately or within 6 months are: Leaking containers,motors that burn out emitting an electrical odor that sometimes will trip your circuit breakers, container lid is hard to remove and put back on, terrible customer service (from the healthmaster site and not amazon), and now, a poster said that the container is not safe to use because of the plastic, and will emit chemicals into your food! Now, QVC is selling a new and improved Healthmaster, called the Healthmaster VS. It is now BPA free, (the container on this one isn't)they nixed the digital display and the design went back to the old Jack La Lanne style using flip switches and dials. There are already negative reviews of the new machine. PLEASE do your research before buying this product! If you have a leaking container, put clear water into the container and run on speed 8 for about 30 seconds, if it becomes discolored then oil is getting into your mixtures!MY ORIGINAL REVIEW :This unit is a Jack La Lanne Healthmaster, redesigned with a new digital display, and costs more. I owned the Jack La Lanne, and within 6 months, the bearings stripped, and a rust color was dripping from the container, with the food being tainted by rust on the blades. I threw it out and bought a Vitamix. The same problems are beginning to surface with this machine problems develop either immediately or within 3 to 6 months of use. A neighbor, who loves Montel, and ignored my warnings, bought this machine through the healthmaster website. Within 3 days, the motor burnt out. It took several weeks to get a replacement. Upon receiving the replacement, the motor burnt out again. She returned the unit for a refund, and has yet to receive it. She paid for the extra warranty, and HM did not pay for the shipping to return it (the warranty is bogus, if you read the fine print, the warranty can be voided), YOU have to pay for it. This machine does what it is supposed to do, it makes good smoothies, but simply isn't powerful enough and cannot handle the strain. Other reviews on other sites state the same thing. The infomercial, has the same woman that was on the infomercial for jack la lanne. If you must, buy it here, the return policy is much better, however I recommend that you spend a few extra bucks and get a Vitamix, which I have had for several years now with absolutely no problems, and has a automatic 7 year guarantee,excellent customer service, and they pay for shipping. You get what you pay for. Give yourself, or your loved ones, a better machine than this, especially for xmas.

I am sorry I didn't heed the warnings that were already posted. I thought something with a 100 year warranty had to be good. Well everything you see on the infomercial is contradicted in the instruction manual. Montel says "make soup in 8 min walk away and do something else." WRONG, Never leave it unattended! Hold onto the handle as is is large and powerful. He fills it to the brim...well there must be some cut and edit time because it doesn't instanly make a fruit and veg smoothie. You cannot fill more than 2/3 full. I followed the directions turned it on BZZZZZZZZZ, STRUGGLLLLLLEEE. Used the tamper and all my strength, it overheated before the smoothie was done.Mention was made of rust. I had a hard time getting that but now I now why. The bottom plate is like bare cast iron as in skillet. Mine is already starting to rust before I had it out of the box. Yes it will be rusting.Part of mine is probably due to UPS throwing it at the house. Now it is marked FRAGILE with and up arrow. I was sitting by the window I saw him....a sub not my great regular guy throw it down with a thud. The box had multiple punctures all the way to the inside. The unit was not scratched but sure didn't function like on the TV.Also if you are going to go ahead like I did and give it a try think twice if you have arthritis of the hands, it is difficult to open and close and it has to lock.Amazon is fantastic and are taking it back and will refund my money. If you read the warranry it says it is 60 days for everything else and it is all at their descretion. So don't think you will get what is shown on tv...it just doesn't work that way, what they do is against the instructions.
