This blender is so convenient for me and very easy to use . The love the Blendsense feature! I've only used it to make smoothies so far and i love how it works. It basically sense whats in the cup and does what needs to be done. I like that all o need to do is press start amd ot blends and after it's automatic timer, it stops on it's own . During that time i can do something else while it blends. I don't have to stay close to turn it off after. I previously had A ninja professional 1100w  blender which was completely different this one . I decided to gift it to my mom and kept the Blendsense. I highly recommend this blender.
