Agree is a powerhouse! Regards to crevice & trouble lining up reviews = i dont have these issues, but mine looks a little different than photos... {i use my tooth water pik to clean crevices}. My filler cap has hard to clean 'dimpled crease' . I did have to put blender cup in freezer when couldn't open{shrinkage of plastic}. Smelled like motor burning at first few times running, but went away= assuming was some excess motor oil. Turns ice cubes into snow. Makes creamy peanut/almond butter. Only goes dual directional on pre-programmed buttons, but they are ex cellant= do as they say. Have A Safe Day! PEACE
