I absolutely love the Braun TriForce Power Blender. It has six preset settings and three texture options. It has a self-clean button which works great. It crushes ice and also makes hot soup in less than 6 minutes. You can make smoothies, drinks, nut butter, soup, shakes, baby food, the options are really endless. It also comes with a tamper. The Braun TriForce Power Blender is by far the best and most versatile blender I've ever had.
