I love this blender! I really am a person that likes to do healthy smoothies to maintain weight and this has been such a valuable tool for that. It has replaced my old one and I love that I can just put everything in the smoothie cup and take it with me. When it says it's high speed it really is, gets everything blended and pulverized faster than a lot of other blenders I've had. I always find that this company makes great products.
