This blender is fabulous! It performs better than any expectations I had before purchasing! The shaker cup was such an appreciated extra bonus too! This blender has all the functions you could possibly need, and then some! And it has a very stylish design that meshes well with my modern styled kitchen. If you're looking for a high quality performance blender, with all the bells and whistles, than this is it!
