Received this last week and immediately put it on the charger.    Charged to full capacity in about 2 hours.    Does a great job mixing whatever you put in to it.    Used it to make pesto and it mixed everything great.    Large capacity mixing container is included.     Used it next on a cold soup and again, it blended everything perfectly.    Used it several times and haven’t had to charge it yet.   I would highly recommend this to anyone.
