I am so happy with my purchase! It is definitely an investment so I was hesitant and have been thinking for a while before I made the decision. I am so glad I did. I am very impressed with the power and ease of this machine. I have used it for smoothies and green juices = No more chunky smoothies and I have wonderfully blended greens! I have made salsa and hummus and blended part of a soup and added back into the pot. Clean up is also very easy. I have used it almost every single day since my purchase over a month ago.
