I love how quiet this blender is. Even when crushing large chunks, I was unable to hear it down the hall! I also like how you can blend multiple cups at one time. You are also able to choose what you would like to blend. It is small enough to fit on the counter without taking up too much room which is nice. The only thing I would change, it seems to take quite a bit of time to blend frozen items (smoothies, ice, etc.) completely. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
