Okay this may be the middle of the road review...I have use my new blender for a few drink mixtures and it work ok.  I used the chopper twice and it seems to do ok for puree but just to fine chop-not so much.  I wanted this style blender for the GLASS container and the additional chopper attachment but it may not satisfy my whole thought pattern for it purpose.  The blender blades don't seem to be at a good angle or enough of them but I will make use of it.  If you're looking for something like this, maybe a good idea to give up a little more $$ for a better product...
