I replaced my old 7yr old blender with this and I love it I put ice and frozen banana in my morning shake and it does a fantastic job. It’s touch screen so you just wipe it down after using. It has a low profile, so it fits on the counter underneath my cabinets and the cover has a built-in spout, so you don’t have to remove the whole top to pour. The glass jar is very thick, so I doubt it would  break if you ever dropped it. 
It’s a little more expensive than a basic blender, but much more powerful and worth it.!
