I really enjoy this blender a lot. it has a lot of power , many different features , and I really like the blender cup that you can just attach to the blender itself and then I can take my smoothies on the go and don't have to find an extra cup. The only issue I had with the blender is that with the blender cup there's a ridge that can get dirty but you have no way to get to it to clean it . I did receive this blender as a test item but I would definitely buy it
