After using the blender for a few weeks, it's been keeping up great when being used for daily protein shakes and miscellaneous! It took a bit of playing around with the blender, especially with the type of foods it can chop up better, but it gets the job done very smoothly. Shakes get blended within seconds, and my snacks of guacamole and hummus dips are done in no time. It can get a bit noisy with harder foods, but pretty quiet with soft foods. Cleaning it is also easy, usually just running the faucet on it is enough when I get in a hurry. Definitely recommend this blender, my first time using a product from this company and I am very happy with the quality.
