Wow!  This blender works great!  The motor is strong...even on low.  I love the suction feet on the bottom to keep it from moving.  I make smoothies daily and this blender makes it quick and easy.  I love how big the pitcher is and that it comes with a tamper stick.  I can't wait to try more recipes from the included booklet.  It's super easy to clean too!  It works so much better than my old blender!  Love it!!
