I have only used this a couple of times but so far, I love it! It has a lot of power, great attachments/accessories and it easy to use. One of my favorite things about it, is how easy it is to clean by simply pulling out the piece with the blades. I also like that the unit and lid lock into place so I never have to worry about something shaking loose and creating a mess while the blender is running. I would definitely recommend to a friend!
