I’ve been using this blender for a few weeks now as part of my daily morning smoothie routine.  It does a really great job of blending both ice and whatever other ingredients I put in it to make my smoothies.  It has a powerful 1200 watt motor that quickly and effortlessly blends whatever items you put in it.  I love the to-go cups with lids because I can easily make my smoothie and be on my way out the door quickly, and not have to worry about spills or trying to find a cup to put my drink in.  The cup fits nicely in my vehicle cup holder and is the perfect size for traveling.  Cleaning the blender and its accessories is very easy too.  I can easily wash it either in the dishwasher or by hand if I like.  It doesn’t take up a lot of counter space which is nice so I can leave it on my counter and use it daily.  This blender is great for smoothies, salsa, soups, etc., and it is very simple to understand and use.
