 Great for Entertaining! February 6, 2010

I purchased this item for my sister and her husband. It has been a permanent fixture for our parties. It is very easy to use and can easily handle a large supply of drinks. It works perfectly. I strongly recommend the purchase. It is worth every penny!
Wasting Away in Margaritaville DM1000 December 18, 2009
Z. Overcash
At first I was concerned that this was just a glorified blender. Its not. A blender chops up the ice and you tend to end up with watered-down drinks.
The Margaritaville DM1000 shaves ice from the reservoir on top and creates more of a coarse snow. Any water created in the shaving process drains into a tank in the back instead of down into your mix.
Be warned that this thing is very large though. When I put in on my kitchen counter I can't open the upper cabinet doors, so it will probably end up getting moved around alot if you don't have a designated bar-type area for it.
What I really like is the fact that all of the mix and blending goes on inside the jar, so there's really nothing else to clean when you're done. Just wash out the jar and empty the water tank in the back after the ice has melted. That's it.
I'm still playing with the recommended Margarita recipe. I've found that adding a splash of Sprite and a dash of sugar to the recipe in the Quick Start pamplet makes them taste more like what you'd expect in a typical Mexican restaurant. I've also started using the mix with all of the liquor and juice mixed in with pretty good results. Instead of measuring using the little shot glass, I've found that just filling up the jar with the pre-made mix until its about a quarter-inch above the blades at the bottom and then setting the number of drinks to 3 seems to give a pretty good consistency.
The only thing that you might want to keep in mind is that the blending jar is kinda small. I've found that setting the number of drinks to 3 (the maximum) fills two standard Margarita glasses, so be prepared to be making a lot of batches if using this for a party.
If you like Margaritas to start off your weekend but don't like spending $7 for each one at the Mexican restaurant I would definitely recommend this.

I have been shopping for this product and found it to be priced right and the quality of the margarita is second to none at home. Get one now if you love Margaritas and then have a party. I am!
This thing rocks the house October 12, 2009

We were skeptical when we bought this. But from the first round of frozen mixed drinks that we made, we were converts. They come out awesome. No more cheap-tasting, over-powering drink mixes loaded with corn syrup and artificial flavors. With a little research and experimentation, we've figured out great recipes for a bunch of different drinks, using fresh fruit and/or fruit juices, plus modest amounts of agave as a sweetener when called for. Time and again our guests have raved about how good the drinks are, and how much better they are compared to what they've had in bars and restaurants.
We've made non-alcoholic smoothies as well. They've turned out better than what we've ever bought in any smoothie place. It's great to be able to use only the freshest non-frozen fruit and other ingredients and to control how sweet they turn out (we never added any sugar or other sweeteners to our smoothies).
The unit appears to be fairly sturdy. After a couple of dozen occasions, with multiple rounds of drinks made each time, the unit's still going strong.
Great purchase. Consume responsibly.
Very pleased with this blender September 10, 2009

My husband had seen this blender in catalogs and in stores and wanted it badly so we bought it for him for Father's Day. He was very pleased to receive it and is enjoying using it frequently. It made a dynamite frozen margarita. Good price, good product.
