I first encountered this blender at my parents house and I tried it once and was hooked! I made smoothies everyday for a week. I loved it so much, I had to buy my own! It gets the best consistency and takes no time at all to blend. It’s also simple to clean. I do wish there were more cups so that others can make their own drinks at the same time but maybe I just need to research more to buy extras. Overall, get this blender!
