I got this blender for Christmas and it works great and makes everything smooth if you have the right amount of liquid. If you add just a little amount of milk or just yogurt you might not get the smooth consistency you want, because the blades are just at the bottom and smaller then your typical bigger blender that has blades throughout the whole entire thing. Also talking about the blades since they are small some of your frozen fruits or vegetables might get stuck so you have to shake the blender every 10-20 seconds. But it is very nice because there is two different types of blades for a different dip or smoothie you want to make. It also come with two cups for you and your friend or someone you want to share your drink with. Overall I think it is a great blender to have in your kitchen to make smoothies with, I would recommend this blender.
