I was excited to get this Smoothie Blender to help with my nutrition and diet. I have Crohn’s disease so have problems with digestion at times. The Blender was well packed, sleek looking on my counter and looks well made. The blades are built in so no handling or losing them. The container on top is marked with measurements to help with recipes and has a removable cap to add ingredients while blending. It blended everything well, very smooth and creamy, even with some ice added. I’m looking forward to using this Blender every day! It’s a ”Smooth Operator!”
