Makes great smoothies.  Love the features fottr making smoothie but it is a very noisy machine.  I have had it only 6 months and it no longer works.  I used it on average probably 2 times week for smoothies mainly.  The blade part is poorly made and the bearings in it I believe went bad cruising motor to smoke.  For what I paid for it it is a poor design and I would not recommend it for that reason.  I have had blenders last me 20+ yrs and spend way less and last longer than this.
