Big, loud, and great at everything.
By eyecore
Big for a "blender." Loud for a blender...or any kitchen appliance, automobile, train, or aircraft. But this thing gets the job done!First beverage, a juiced treat made of apples, carrots, raspberries...and some ice cubes thrown in for good measure. Not having owned a standalone juicer, I can't comment on if it does better or worse, but this Torpedo had no problems at all converting the solids into liquids. Very smooth - a little "gritty" when used with the "medium" screen, but silky smooth with the fine screen. Based on what went into the machine versus what came out to drink, it was pretty impressive how little pulp was leftover. Very nice - and no raspberry seeds!Next up, we through a block of cheddar cheese in there. Yeah, who puts a block of cheese in a blender? (Well, come on! This is no blender, this is a "Kitchen Appliance!") It whipped through the cheese block very quickly, and while I wouldn't consider the end result exactly "shredded" how most people would consider shredded (and like my Cuisinart can shred - long strips), the little granules that remains after shredding is perfect for melting - so unless you really want long strings of shredded cheese, this can replace other shredders, easy.Making a smoothie was no problem, of course. Easy to clean up, too.Couple things that I wasn't expecting, but it's not a big enough deal to take any stars away: 1) Save for the blade and wires, I think this entire thing is made of plastic. 2) The blades are attached to the canister, 3) Press the button, and it handles the "pulsing" by itself, and beeps when it figures you need to take a look.On that last part: It'll turn on, wait a couple seconds, then go again...and repeat. Pretty nifty, so you can turn it on, make a run for some noise protection, and come back when you have your shooting ear muffs on. Works very well.The cookbook it comes with is even nice - a little of a stretch to include it in with a blender on steroids, but it's nice. (For example, the mac and cheese recipe is probably only included so they can say to "put hunk of cheese in blender and press the button.")Would highly recommend this. While it's pretty big, depending on your usage of multiple kitchen gadgets, it may be able to replace a juicer, blender, and food processor. (Food processor is probably the biggest stretch, since this Torpedo does one thing, whereas most processors let you swap out blades to do different things - slice, grate, make skinny fries, etc.)

Functional blender with juicing features
By Margaret Picky
The Torpedo Multi-Purpose Appliance is an "As Seen on TV" blender and juicer manufactured by LadyShip, a brand popular in its home country of Taiwan as well as in mainland China and Hong Kong, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Australia, and Canada, as amateur YouTube videos will attest. It is relatively new to the U.S. market.The Torpedo is basically a blender with some unique features that make it especially useful for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables. It has three pairs of blades, a spigot, an interior strainer system with two interchangeable wire mesh filters, a vented cap, a lid accessory to act as a staging area and feeding bowl for ingredients, and a vertical structure that houses a mechanical safety feature that allows the motor to run only when the lid is twisted to lock it in place. A clever cleaning brush and a recipe book are also included as well as a pamphlet with favorite recipes from the young couple that promotes this blender on U.S. television, Fabio and Jacopo.The motor seems powerful (and is correspondingly loud) and combined with the three pairs of blades, does an excellent job of blending and juicing. There is a continuous blend setting, a pulse bar, and a button that initiates a sequence that alternates blending and stopping a few times and then blends for a while, which is nice for smoothies. There is a reset button underneath the unit in case the motor is over-stressed.I am not fond of the accessories and filters, spigot, etc. as they are not very useful to me and are somewhat fussy to clean. However, for someone who needs a juicer that filters pulp, skin, and seeds, or who wants to dispense margaritas or daiquiris, they would be quite handy.The blue plastic blending jar, the black plastic shell, and especially the chromed plastic accents do not lend a look or feel of high quality and seem perhaps a bit dated in style although they are functional enough. The safety locking mechanism and its housing are unnecessary, unattractive, and aggravating, and can easily be circumvented by inserting a knife or folded piece of paper into the slot.Overall, the Torpedo would seem to be a 3 star choice in its price range for juicing but overly complicated for people generally satisfied with a standard blender. It is also available in White.

Love The Auto Cycle
By Book Worm
I've had this appliance for about a month now. I have made smoothies, blended salsas and soups so far. I love the auto cycle, which blends for a few seconds then pauses and starts up again. This cycle repeats for about a minute. With my old blender, I would have to start and stop manually to stir things around, especially when I made whole fruit or green smoothies. No more.I also love the fact that there is a locking lid. My old blender's top came off a few times when I was blending soups. That was a mess! There are attachments that come with this blender, like 2 different filters for juicing, and a spout to attach to the container, so that drinks and juices can be poured out individually. There is also a recipe book included with lots of recipes to try. It's also easy to clean.My only complaint is the height of the appliance. I used to be able to put my old blender in my cabinet. This one has to stay out on my countertop. And it barely fits between my countertop and upper cabinets. But with all the stuff that it does do so well, this is a minor complaint.
