Good working machine, but I thought I was getting away from my other old one which sounds like a leaf blower. That thing may have ruined my husband's hearing. This new one, is not much better.  Why can't you make your blender much quieter?!  Irritating!  Also, it's difficult to drink out of the travel cups with that cap in the way!! And, you can't flip it back without breaking it! What were you thinking?
