I use my blender almost daily. I started making protein shakes in the morning and didn't want a lot of hassle, I wouldn't call myself a morning person! I want to have variety and this blender does it all, ice, thick peanut butter, frozen fruit. Mixes in seconds. Clean up quick, too. I also just take off the blade attachment and add the transport drinking top. 

Pros: Easy,quick
Cons: The blades on this blender are razor sharp. You must be careful when handling and washing. There is risk to cut yourself fairly easily
