I received this product and I am really happy with it. I love how thick and sturdy the glass pitcher is. I love how quiet it runs and a big plus is the 4 pre programmed buttons. I was skeptical about how it would mix powdered drinks, but once again I was so thrilled with the results. The crushed ice option is another excellent feature to have, very handy when making mixed drinks or slushies. I would recommend this to anyone who loves making their own drinks at home or making slushies for the kids during the hot summer months. It is so easy to use, the kids can even help. The extra plastic mixing cup is a great bonus. Cleanup is very easy and that in itself is another big plus. Nothing but great things about this awesome blender.
