I first learned about and tried this blender when a family member showed it to me, and after going home I knew I wanted to get one for myself. It's super simple, good quality (plus the material FEELS like high quality), and the travel top with the handle makes it super easy to take my smoothies to go. It's only been about a week so far, but I have had no issues. I also like that the blending is very hands-off because it lets me multitask in the morning while I'm making my lunch for work. I haven't tried the infuser bottle yet so I can't attest to that one, but I'm looking forward to getting some loose leaf teas to try out with it :) it's a pretty pricey blender but to me it feels worth the money, especially if you can find it on a sale!
