I like that the the liquid container is nice and light. The base is a little heavy but compact and has suctions on it that hold it to the counter nicely. It was hard to figure out how to get the pitcher to lock onto the base at first. After you figure out the first time, it’s easy. The only downside I would give this blender is that the pitcher handle does not collapse unless attached to the blender. I like that it gives the picture a suction, but wish that I could also have a button to collapse the handle when it’s not on the pitcher. ￼
