This blender is great!  I love that the same bottom containing the blades fits with all 3 blender containers so there is less to store. I made a smoothie with spinach in it and it blended the leaves right up to where I didn't feel like I was chewing my smoothie!  The 3 different containers are great so you can pick the container for the number of servings you are making. Lastly, it's pretty darn quiet for a high speed/power blender!
