Just got my new Super Q. I previously owned the "the Boss" model and even if I loved it, I love even more this one. First off, the noise level was reduced drastically and I'd say it's super quiet for this type of blender. the accessories are great: to be able to make individual portions to go is amazing. Blender is very, very powerful and the new jug, larger at the bottom, works very well.

oh and please diregard the comment from Bell N user below. Unless you plan on using your blender in the dark, translucend buttons would be useless. I know I like to have the lights on when I use such a powerful tool.
