I have really enjoyed this blender. My kids and I have started making smoothies more regularly and I love that with this you are able to blend a single serving in the separate Jar that’s included. It’s the perfect size for my kids to split and makes it VERY easy to take a smoothie on the go. The handle also allows for easier carrying. Summer is approaching and this will be used a lot. It’s very easy to clean, isn’t as loud as blenders I have used in the past and it is very easy to operate. All very important when you are a busy mama on the go!
