I bought this to finally be able to enjoy semi-frozen smoothies,nutbutters, nice cream, smooth hummus and to make dough when I bake and was SO dissappointed! The hummus comes out chunky (even after minutes of blending), the nuts never turn into butter, smoothies are grainy -if they even blend at all, I have to stop remove and shake or add so much liquid that it gets all watered down...
For cookie dough or bread dough the blender shakes violently (I find the speed setting is too high) so I have to hold it so that it doesn't fall over.
