This is a pretty good blender though when you  have the speed mode from 1 to 3 and having the turbo button pressed, it feels like the basic 5 speed which to me makes it, the 5 level ,kind of useless unless you need like an temporary boost when mixing. Other than that, everything seems to work just fine. I also like the handy plastic case it(though technically, it inside partially) can be placed in.
