I was amazed at this unique high speed blender from Ninja. one thing that I just cannot get over is the Built-in twist tamper, can't tell you how many times I used to remove blenders to shake them from the ingredients; I no longer need to do that. I appreciate the different options you can choose from to form the texture of your ingredients. Everything from making a smoothie as extracted as possible, or more of a shake type. You can even take whole almonds to create a nut butter! Huge win. As all things I consider for ease of washing these lids and containers are dishwasher safe so it makes things that much easier for cleanup. Definitely recommend this blender if you're in the market for one!
