It had an electrical oder when I plugged it up and nothing happened. Now reading other reviews on this crap I know I made a $250.00 mistake. Montel, Why did you put your namne on this.

| First off I must say, I am so disapointed in Syliva Brown for backing this mixer. We spent many weeks trying to make our minds up if we wanted to spend the money on this blender. My husband had all his teeth pulled, I had gained wieght after my heart attack and had tried everything even the Dr's didn't understand why. And we have been looking for a powerful blender for a year or so. I made the call and got your blender. The juice we made aka (v-8) was hard to blend and turn runny after sitting a little while. I tried the furit smoothy and it worked a little better. The motor is so loud it scares the cats. Last of all the main reason I would not give it a good rating, I and my friends are all 45-50. I am one of the stronger ones and I had a hard time gitting the pitcher locked on and off the base and the same with the lid. Anyone with weak arms or wrist or arthritis should not use this machine, it can cause more damage. I was wrong to buy something that only caught my eye because of the 2 people trying to sell it. I have to rethink how I feel about Willams and Brown now. I may have lost faith in 2 people I thought were trust worthy. |

| I am currently looking for a good juicer to buy and came across the health Master . So I decided to read reviews by users who has had few troubles.
few things I find amazing is the motor rating is 2HP why will a pitch man claim this ? it must have a 2HP motor so if it does then ofcourse it should do exactly what it suppose to do .....
A hint I think we all make mistake in kitchen time and time again . we make little foolish mistake that causes thing to break , burnt and sometime meal is over cook . Unlike the Health Master it is a mechines that is program and engineer to work in a same ole fashion. so if we human make a mistake with such a high speed rotation this error will cost you 200.00 which relate to some of the reviews I read . Also the engineers who design this mechine too is to be blame for sloppy work .
engineer should have put more safty measures in place to prevent self inflicted damages due to forgetfulness by users.
The bottom line is I will buy Health Master and used it properly. Why will Motel William put his reputation behind this Machine when in fact it doesn't work a dime ???
In all of the reviews no on mentioned about if the mechine actually emulsify as claimed by pitch man ? I believed it is true it does what it should do and why will someone put in a cheap blade ? The blade really is not the real driving force behind HealthMaster it the motor power, efficiency and speed . even with a faster speed a dull knife can cut an Elephant in to tinny chuck in 2 sec . |

| After receiving the Health Master as a gift, I was very excited for the first 2 months. The picture started to leak a black oil and then the juice. After speaking with customer service and paying a shipping charge of $25.00 I was sent a new picture. The customer service stated that this was not a on going problem but if it happen again the picture would cost $49.95 plus shipping of 24.95. My sister also had the same problem with hers and again was sent a new picture. After 1 month she is having the problem with it leaking again. It is very plain to see if this is a on going problem then the machine is not worth the trouble to purchase due to all of the additional cost. When the product works it is good. I hope Montel William is aware of the problems due to the fact he has put is endorsement on the product. |

| We thought our new Healthmaster would be a great alternative to juicing (no more wasted fiber/pulp). After about one month of use, it turned off by itself midway through blending a fruit smoothie. That's about all we used it for. The pitcher won't budge from its locked position on the base (although the lid does twist off) and the machine will not turn on (we tried the reset button). We called customer service and were told for about $50 in shipping charges, they would send a new base and pitcher (we purchased the unit in new condition at a raffle and don't have an order #). After reading the return nightmare stories of other users, we're thinking of cutting our loses and moving to the Vitamix instead. |

| Just like most of the products out there on TV infomercials - doesnt even come close to living up to its claims. The product is not high quality, the recipies they show on TV and talk about in their book do not come out as advertised.

| I thought it was a great buy for about four weeks. After that the motor burned out, and that's when the customer service nightmare began. One year later, still no resolution. I've been informed repeatedly that the product is on back order, yet they are still selling advertising and selling this product as if my issue and others with similar issues do not exist. I've lost all respect for Tri-star products and Montel Williams as well for continuing to endorse such products and services that are clearly inferior that no one stand behind. What I've witnessed through my experience is a lack of "INTEGRITY". |

| MACHINE IS GARBAGE!!! | ***** |
| Date Posted: 5/6/2010 | Reviewed By: | MarrrkyMark |

| I take it all back!!! The blender was awesome but motor blew up on the third use. Smoke poured out. Customer Service acknowleged that it was probably a bad one as this happens. "Maybe 3 or 4 out of 1000". They could not guarantee I would not get another bad one. I am sending back under the 30-day return policy and I already ordered a vita-mix. By the way the reason Montel stopped endorsing vitamix (He owns a least one) is that he felt he should be paid to endorse it. Vitamix has never paid anyone for endorsements. ANyway bottom line you can't beat vitamix. In consumer reports they came up with a 89 the closest was the Hamilton Beach Tempest at $424 dollars. On the vitamix thsy sell reconditoned units for a lot less with same 7 year warranty. The models have new pitchers and motors are checked out. They come from demos and returns. Just click the comparison chart to see the reconditoned units they have in stock. Finally a tip for anyone not being able to get their money back. Put a claim through your credit card company. It takes time but you will get your money back due to the fact that you never got your product. I already put a claim as the company promised me a return label I have not seen yet. I will get back every penny including the shipping and taxes I paid. |

| No problems. Blends great. Be sure to add little bits of water when stuff starts getting thick as the directions instruct. I can imagine that if I just threw in a bunch of stuff, it would burn any motor out. So do short bursts of blending and add water if too thick to see still moving around and works great for me. |

| I have to return mine. To me the Health Master is a big glorified blender. I already have one of those. I have been juicing for years and have been using a Breville Juicer. When I saw that the Health Master juiced everything of the greens (that I mix with fruit) I was excited that I would not have any trash (skins and pulp) with this juicer. I have used it 5 times and the first two times I added water (as I saw in the infomercial) which watered down the taste quite a bit and made too much juice where part of it went down the drain because I couldn't drink it all. Then I made soup, which was great the way it heated up. The next two times I mad my juice in the morning, adding very little water hoping to get a better taste, and it turned to sludge. One of those times I left the Health Master on for longer to see if it came out any more of a liquid and of course it started to heat it up. Hot juice=not good! The Health Master messes with the purity of fruits and vegetables by having to water them down and adding ice. If your doing a smoothie thats fine but not for veg. juice. After reading these reviews, I'm not looking forward to the return process but I am returning it anyway. Very disappointing! |

| I have contacted Healthmaster Customer Service and they admitted right away to a problem where some of the units leak the oil from the motor but of course will not mix with the contents of the healthmaster. They assure me that these units are completely covered, and they will replace the unit without the customer having to pay the shipping costs. They further confirmed that they are looking into the issue to provide a permanent solution. Reading between the lines of the reviews offered, I get the distinct impression that other vendors/sales people are trying to capitalize on this issue. I have purchased a healthmaster and I am expecting to recieve it within the next three days. The customer Service rep I spoke with was very friendly and eager to help, I explained that I already purchased the unit. After reading the numerous reviews, I was almost inclined to cancel my order, except I felt this underlying tone of sales people basically bashing the units and exploiting the issues in order to sell their own. I was a salesman for many years and one thing I never did was "bash" the competetion. I would suggest that anyone looking to purchase the healthmaster take the reviews "with a grain of salt" and know that the company will stand behind the product. The service representative confirmed that if nothng is wrong wth the healthmaster than indeed the customer returns it as his/her own expense. He stated that they had numerous cases where customers called in and learned that because they did not pick up the manual even once, they had trouble. Once customer service walk them through it, the issues "disappeared". I now eagerly await the arrival of the health master. I would also implore anyone that had a unit leaking an "oily substance" to call customer service right away so they can replace the unit as promised at their own expense.

| I bought my HealthMaster directly from their website in July of 09. The motor died in September. I called and they told me that it was too late for me to return it but since I have the 100 year warranty if I pay for shipping they will send me another base. I said fine and paid I almost $50.00 for the shipping. It is now April 2010 and I still have not received the motor. I have been calling every month to check on the status and they claim it is still on back order. One day I called and the young man I spoke to said it was in stock and they would ship it right away. I waited 3 weeks and called again. They went back to the original story of "sorry, the item in on back order". They never billed my credit card so that's one good thing. I still call every month to let them know I still want my motor but still nothing. Another thing the do that gets me so angry is they send me little cards with the date that they will ship it, then a few weeks later, I get another one saying it's not in stock, then a few weeks later I get another one saying to return the card if I still want to place my order then the last one says DO NOT return the card if I still want them to place my order. These people are ripping costumers off. The 100 year warranty is a joke. I totally wasted my $200.00. :( |

It also leaks a wierd rusty looking fluid under the container, my neighbor sent it back, it took 3 weeks to get a replacement, and 3 days later, the motor burnt out. You have to pay for the shipping each time you return it. The machine does do what it is supposed to do, but the motor cannot keep up, it is not fast enough. She returned it and demanded a refund, and still has not received her money back.

The reasons why it is American made from a reputable company Family operated for about 80 years. It has a 7 year warranty. More power. Endorsed by the Culinary Institute of America. Does everything the HealthMaster claims it can do decades before Montel's blender ever reached the market. Can't trust Tri-Star products, the company behind all those as seen on TV infomercials, the company behind the HealthMaster(made in China) blender. Do your research when it comes to your health people! Just an honest opinion... I love Vita-Mixing! |
