We love this blender! It mixes and crushes up ice like nobodies business! I’m very impressed by the strength and quality of this! Some of my older blenders were not nearly as good as this one! Warning! Blades are superrr sharp! I make smoothies with my son and am very cautious while using it! But it’s a great tool for me to sneak more veggies in my sons diet! Super easy to use and clean!
