The DM1000 Margaritaville Blender

The Key West DM1000 Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker is a 450-watt appliance you should surely consider purchasing if you enjoy making frozen margaritas and daiquiris in your home and

The DM1000 Margaritaville blender is a large investment. This party blender retails around $250, so it isn’t inexpensive and the unit itself is rather large. It’s 21 inches high and 15 2/3 inches deep so that means it is difficult to fit under some kitchen cabinets, so do keep that in mind is you have little countertop space or a small kitchen. It weighs 17 pounds, so it is heavy too and not something you’ll want to be moving in and out of cabinets too frequently.

The DM1000 comes in one color. What color? Classic margarita color of course, so it is white, silver and lime green. The included accessories are a shot glass and a salt rimmer, which are key to creating the perfect margarita. The product features a 36-ounce glass jar and front access controls. Fill the chamber with ice and let the pre-programmed settings work to create your margarita.

Once you set the party blender to the number of drinks you want to make, it will automatically mix in the correct proportion of ice with your ingredients. No need to guess at how much ice to add which is why the frozen concoctions come out great every time. The glass jar and top can be washed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. And for those who like to fine tune and tweak their drinks, there is a toggle switch for either shaving in more ice, or blending your frozen concoction further.

There are over 100 reviews for this product on Amazon alone for the DM1000 frozen concoction maker and it has an incredibly solid 4.5 star rating. The majority of reviewers singing its praises from the tallest of sand dunes were numerous, and intensely outnumbering any negative nancies that only detracted due to the high price of the margarita maker and didn't use it for any other purpose. Bottom line, if you want to be the life of the party, and enjoy frozen concoctions, you should definitely plunge into the lime green vortex and invest in this Margaritaville blender!

• Makes great shaved ice for some of the smoothest frozen drinks around. Automatic settings are great for even novice margarita makers.
• Shot Glass and Rimmer included.
• Comes with a great drink recipe book
• Optional carrying case is available that you can purchase if you plan on taking your DM1000 on a road trip. 

• High price.  It is a steep investment to make if you are just an occasional margarita drinker and plan to use it only for that purpose.

• You need a lot of space under your cabinet to be able to fit the unit on your countertop.

• The ice shaving blades can wear down and may need to be replaced periodically, which is part of normal wear and tear on the product but the replacement blades are $30.
