I FELT THE Hamilton Beach SMOOTHIE BLENDER DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. I MADE SEVERAL DIFFERENT SMOOTHIES. SOME WITH ICE. SOME WITHOUT. EVERYTHING BLENDED COMPLETELY. THE JAR HOLDS A GOOD AMOUNT. ENOUGH FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON. I  HAD NO ISSUES WITH POWER OR RESULTS.IT  DOESN'T TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE. IT'S EASY TO CLEAN
