I have not used all the features yet and am excited to use it for soups and frozen deserts soon.  I have used it extensively to make healthy smoothies and am so pleased with the consistency of my drinks.  It blasts it's way through kale and every kind of fruit or vegetable I give it.  I do have a hard time with getting the cover off because it clips on which is new for me, but overall would give it a strong 4.5 stars.
