@xobzoo I told my kid once there are good reasons why some species eat their young. Does this mean I could use this to cook her? (She had responded, “you hate to cook mom. You wouldn’t know how to cook me.”. I told her, “There’s always the internet.”.)
Made with carrots, lemons, cucumbers, and sliced strawberries with their leafy tops still on, apparently.
It’s colorful and makes for an interesting photo, but not exactly a combo of produce I’d ever expect to blend together - for a margarita or really any concoction…
@psantora I hadn’t noticed till you pointed that out, but then I also saw that the first photo has cherry tomatoes with their stems, in with the kiwi fruit and melon and such.
So… I realize these are just giving you options probably. But why would it ever need the dishwasher if it was that easy?
“After use, simply add a few drops of detergent and water, select pulse mode, and blender will be cleaned in just 30 seconds
Pitcher is dishwasher safe”
Also this bothers me.
“Control the time and temperature by turning the knob to achieve different tastes”
The only way this is maybe possible on something without a heating/cooling element is by adjusting blade speed to reduce/increase friction. And a temp sensor.
Which is just running it longer or shorter. Which is just a finer or larger chop. And so I question their AI’s ability to defy the laws of thermodynamics… I mean it can just keep blending till it hits the temp you set i guess? Might be an icy cold shake or a blended to death slurry. Which for a creamer soup is fine I’m sure but a weird way to temp it.
And touch screen? Your control is the knob. This does not have, need, and should not have a touch screen. At least the way we interpret that. Maybe a few 2005 era capacitive buttons? Which are bad.
Bottom line I’m disappointed in meh for this description. If it had a few notes about the obvious BS but because of that we are selling you a very high-powered blender at a discount maybe… I mean I wouldn’t go near it. But.
@unksol And here I thought you were going to point out how “achieve different tastes” isn’t normally controlled by a blender, but rather by the things the human puts into the blender.
And I definitely agree with you that a blender doesn’t need (and probably shouldn’t have) a touch screen. That was the very first things I thought of as I was reading the description.
@xobzoo I mean I just assumed “different tastes” meant more “texture and temp” so I can totally give them that one. Some people like their soup more chunky. Some a fine puree. Same with butters. If it can really do that. Maybe shakes?
You could do something like that with a combination of basic sensors. But the coding would be very meh to accomplish that because of the sensors you’re going to have to rely on. At this price point. It’s still basically down to the user controlling the speed. Like any blender. So…
@unksol Since it’s for smoothies i assume it’s more ice chunks vs less, fruit chunks vs pureed fruit - aka consistency . I didn’t know anyone would have such complex issues with a $39 blender, but I felt the emotion!!! .
@Commonwealth109 It’s a cheap high power blender (apparently discontinued) . I’m just used to a little more… Blunt evaluation and calling bullshit on the manufacturer boilerplate/specs from meh.
You clearly can’t control the temp which some expensive blender/cookers can do. So all it could do is turn off when your smoothie starts getting to warm. The AI and tough screen are just… Why
I’m guessing this blender is mediocre at best. But the “about” section on their site is beautiful : “Although Emily is busy with work, she always makes some simple & delicious meals to reward herself. After the age of 25, Mr.right’s strong love made her have more expectations for life, and she began to learn more about the meals her mother used to cook. The love is mutual, and this couple wants to do something for their new life.”

My mistake. I didn’t realise it was oo at first.
I hate to cook… so does this mean not cooking is better than cooking?
@Kidsandliz All I know for sure is that not cooking is better than being cooked.
@xobzoo I told my kid once there are good reasons why some species eat their young. Does this mean I could use this to cook her? (She had responded, “you hate to cook mom. You wouldn’t know how to cook me.”. I told her, “There’s always the internet.”.)
Would this help me to blend in with all the rest of the mehers??
something something something… really shitty margaritas.

MARGARITAS
Is it Mac compatible though?
@Narwalt
I’m pretty sure it can blend McIntosh apples just fine. Likely Braeburn cultivars too, you know, in case you need to manage more cash than most banks ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braeburn_Capital ).
Dont forget to ask if it comes in georgia red.
This looks good for the price. I wonder what the catch is?
@awk no manufacture warrenty,
the only warrenty is the meh dot com 90 days of doom
Frank The Tank!
It has good reviews at the AICOOKHOME website. Would they publish a bad review on their own product? Maybe. There is in 3 star “Meh” review.

@hchavers I also found it humorous that their own page says
Do they somehow not know the brand of their own item?
(and, secondly, getting the wrong slash in “N/A” is kinda funny)

I originally read the brand as aircook, so I assumed it was an air fryer(despite the picture).

@marclove
It IS! That whole saga is quite the lovely little romance novel!
I will not own any appliance unless it has a touch screen!
@ohhwell yeah, if they called it iSmart blender, they could have charged $299
There are some areas of life where a touch screen is less desirable. This is one of them.
