I absolutely loved this blender!  There were so many functional features that are actually useful.  For example, the soup button actually keeps hot soups heated while blending is genius.  The blender was so simple to use and also clean.  There are minimal parts and it has what is my favorite feature, a cleaning button.  I usually only use my blender for smoothies but with the Triforce, I've actually made soups and a few chunky salsas with this.  The blade seems very high quality and durable.  The only cons if I had to choose is the lid feels like it is made of a cheaper material than the rest of the blender.
