This was my first NutriBullet and I must say, I was extremely impressed. This set comes with the base, the blade, three cups, and two lids. I was a little confused when I first got it because I could not find a start button but it was pretty clear from the instructions that when I plugged it in and put the cup and blade on top of the base, lights would appear. And they did! So far, I have just made smoothies but I was very impressed with the speed of blending and that it was not too loud. Clean up was extremely easy as their cups are dishwasher safe and the base itself wipes down quickly. It comes with a little recipe book but there are tons of other recipes available online. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
