I received this item in exchange for an honest review. Right out of box I really liked the color and design, I used this to make milkshakes and smoothies and it is so much quieter than my older one. It really blends well and has multiple settings depending on what you are blending. It also breaks down easily to put in dishwasher. I didn't see any weak or cheap parts and it is very sturdy and made well. I would definitely recommend this blended plus it included a bonus bottle for your favorite on the go smoothie.
