There are a few things I liked about the blender. It works well, made my smoothie the perfect texture. I love the lids to the to go cups. Great design. Also the blade is easy to screw on or off without any trouble. However, there are a few features I don’t like too. The cups are larger than I need them to be and don’t fit well on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Also I don’t like that you have to hold the cup down in order to activate the blender. I was having to apply pressure and hold constantly until my smoothie was complete. I prefer a button for on and off.
