Such a unique and beautiful blender you've never seen anything like it!! I just love how it looks on my counter retro but modern, cheerful and useful. Now when you put it to use you get more than you bargained for, it's really efficient, pretty quiet, gives you a great smoothie. It breaks down ice leaving just a hunt of texture and blends bananas and frozen fruits like a dream.. Well worth the price so trendy and a workhorse.
