Finally a mini-blender that has enough power. I had grown weary of replacing the poorly made and under powered blenders for my daily shakes and small cooking prep jobs. This is truly a “beast”, the power is amazing and the build is rock solid. It cleans up easily as well. Yes it’s not cheap but in the long haul it will last I have no doubt. If you use a mini blender daily stop waisting your time and money buy this product!
