I just bought this because I was tired of looking at my big bulky blender that was taking up so much space on my counter.  Not only was it big and bulky but it definitely doesn’t do the job quite as well as this personal blender.  I was getting chunks of fruit in my smoothies with my traditional blender.  This blender is small and sleek but mighty!!! It is a master at blending everything perfectly smooth.  I just got it and have used  it  multiple times already. It’s easy to use, dishwasher safe and by far the best blender for smoothies.
