I bought this to make protein shakes and mixed drinks. The glass container is thick and solid. High quality. 

It seems very powerful and blends ice very quickly. I throw in ice, protein and fruit. Everything mixes well and no large chunks. 

Very easy to clean and pour. Other reviews mentioned the top is hard to get off, which it is, but a very minor flaw in my mind. 

Using for a couple weeks now and very happy. Quality product for a lower price.
