I got this not to long ago and It has to be the best blender I've used ever . It's touch screen and it has 6 automated food programs consist of smoothie , soup , chop , ice crush frozen dessert  and spread. It also 3 unique texture settings ,smooth, medium and coarse on a turn dial . Has a timer on it also for the automated food programs . It is built well and very nice addition to my small kitchen appliances.
