I love this blender/processor.  I am a retired chef; attended culinary school in the 80s and had a catering business.  Now cook for fun.  This product is the BOMB!  I've used many blenders/processors over the years.  The Ninja Power Blender Pro has exceeded any expectations I had.   I've used it not only for blending but also for processing.  It works better than my professional Kitchen Aid food processor.  I love the product and highly recommend it.
