This is absolutely the best blender I have owned! With 1200 watts of power there isn’t anything that this blender can’t handle. Cuts through ice cubes effortlessly. In addition to standard speed settings, there are 3 additional buttons: smoothie, frozen drink, and purée. Pressing one of these buttons uses the auto IQ mode and the blender will stop automatically when done. This model is BL688 30. I highly recommend this blender!
