I am SO HAPPY to have received this blender! It blends my smoothies so SMOOTHLY! lol! Also almost every night we have had milkshakes and they have been incredible! It holds up nicely with ice too! My last one literally stopped blending ice because it wasn't strong enough to hold up to them! This has been one of my daughters most favorite items too, she's a "vsco" girl and LOVES her smoothies!
