This little machine is used at least 3 times a day for smoothies, Breakfast drinks, And also it's Of other things not to mention when I cook I can get all of my Spices and herbs Ground and chopped to a wonderful consistency And I don't have to tire my hands Out trying to get them chopped. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. And I wish I had it years ago! I've almost got a complete ninja kitchen. And I'm so proud and so is my granddaughter. What a great little machine!
