 Awesome Party Centerpiece!!! June 23, 2009
We gave this as a wedding gift to a couple who's whole family are margarita lovers. They invited us over to sample some Mexican food and...most of all...the Margaritaville Margaritas. Not only were the drinks great, the machine was sooo much fun to watch and operate. The details such as the water drain resevoir for melting ice and the cord storage area were really well thought out. We would love one for ourselves now.
 You don't need this... June 11, 2009

The texture is no better than what a powerful, modern blender with "Ice Sabre" blades is capable of. There also seems to be more melting of the ice and diluting of the drink with this product... Both reliability and availability of replacement parts seem questionable.
Check out the Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome Blender and save over $200.00 for something that works better, has a 3-year warranty, easy availability of replacement parts and is more easily portable. You won't be sorry.
Super-easy and super-delicious frozen margarita recipe...
Frozen Margaritas
Ingredients:
6 ounces of frozen limeade concentrate. A 6 oz can or of a 12 oz can.
2/3 cup Tequila, preferably silver (clear)
1/3 cup triple sec
Around 5 cups of ice cubes
A couple limes for garnish slices and salting the glass rims if desired
Margarita salt for the glass rims if desired
POWERFUL blender
To make:
Blend 2/3 cup tequila, 1/3 cup triple sec and 6 oz limeade concentrate in blender.
Add ice cubes to fill a 5-cup blender jar
Blend at high, "icy drink" speed until slushy. Add a little more ice if not thick enough. You can store unused portions in the freezer for awhile. You may have to stir with a spoon and scoop it into glasses to serve. It will melt and be more easily drinkable pretty quickly.
Use a lime wedge to wet the rims of glasses and dip the rims into a plate of margarita salt before filling if desired. Serve with a lime slice garnish.
This is the best frozen margarita recipe I've tried (and I've tried a few)... and conveniently, the simplest as well!
now useless May 29, 2009

I bought this blender and it only lasted 1.5 years. Now the blender no longer "catches" and spins to blend. It was worn down because it is only PLASTIC. I called the company for replacement parts, they don't make them. They do not cover the warrenty, it is over 1 year old. They do not stand by their product. It is now useless. $[...] in the garbage. Don't waste your money. get a good blender for [...] bucks and it'll last 10 years.
way overpriced, and poorly designed April 18, 2009

I bought this product brand-new and used it less than a dozen times. In less than a dozen times, I had to replace the blending blade FOUR times because the the base of the blending blade that catches with the motor base is made out of HARD RUBBER. This hard rubber would strip anytime I put anything in the blender that any ordinary (and cheaper) blender could handle with no problem (e.g., soft frozen yogurt, banana pieces). Soon the blending blade base would strip even with the shaved ice in the blender, and the motor base wore down because of this.
Do yourselves a favor and ignore the fancy Margaritaville marketing and get yourselves a real, durable blender for a lot less money. This product is USELESS!

We love this and although a bit expensive. It works as it says. Nice for parties and even if you are making two.
