This little guy is the bomb. All the parts are very substantially made....the container, lids.... so easy to whip up a quick salad dressing. Mainly use it for making almond butter, hummus, salsas, fresh salad dressing. Fresh almond butter is amazing. 1 1/2 dry roasted almonds for about 60 seconds. That's it. Done. So good. And a bargain. Simple clean up too.
