This is small but mighty! We’ve had other brands of personal blenders and this one is definitely the quietest. It does a great job of chopping up fruit and ice to make the perfectly blended smoothie or protein shake. I probably won’t use the smaller cups often and wish they were all the larger size. I also would prefer to just have lids rather than the rings that cover the threads on the cup. Beyond that though, no complaints on the actual motor/machine. I love how small and easy to store it is also. Great product that meets its reputation.
