This was an awful purchase. I was looking forward to it based on the reviews however it is an absolutely terrible blender. I went to use it the first time and it leaked everywhere when blending. I tried all the different cups and bases but it just leaks! It’s like it isn’t properly sealing. It also does not blend well at all. It blends the bottoms half and then you have to remove mix and reblend several times before it is even close to being done. The worst is definitely the Leaking as the liquid will get into the unit itself and the likely short it out. It was a complete was of money.
