I wouldn’t change anything about this blender. It’s perfect. I love the carry handle, I love the lid with the pour spout. It is leak proof and easy to clean. It has plenty of power and the blades crush ice perfectly. I made mixed drinks in it and they came out perfect and it’s great for smoothies also. I love that it’s charged by USB so I don’t need to buy batteries or have it plugged in to use it. I plan on using it at the beach this summer and I’ll be taking it to the gym to make a smoothie afternoon my way to work. It also looks so great I’m happy to leave it sitting out on my kitchen counter.
