i LOVE LOVE LOVE that this thing is rechargeable and can be taken with you when you're on the go!  i take it to work with me when i didn't have the time to make the beverage i wanted to.  i love the accessory you screw on to the top of the cup to give it that lip, making it easier to drink out of.  It does its blending job with ease.  It if not loud.  the overall quality of the device seems strong and durable.  I would recommend this product.
