Hello,

I purchased a 400 watt Cuisinart blender 3-4 yrs ago from Bed Bath and
Beyond for $60, and it doesn't seem like it can crush ice easily even
though it claims to do so. There is also some occasional burnt rubber
smell.

I use it to make smoothies and crush frozen fruits.

I'd like to get suggestions on best blender that can be used to make
fruit smoothies/vegetable juices that is under $100.

I also need it to be easy to clean :-)

Is Juiceman good for this purpose?

Please advise. Thanks!
