(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this a few months ago and have no regrets. We needed a new blender after our older “piano key” style wore out. 
We absolutely love the stylish design. This blender looks great on the counter. 
The 3 speed dial with pulse is sleak, simple, and all you need. (I never figured out why my last blender needed 10 speeds).
The smoothie cups are a great bonus. 
This blender works well for our favourite breakfast - making pancakes from oatmeal.
