NINJA heard my cries and answered my prayers, by making the Twisti Blender. I have had the Twisti for almost 2 months and I am very pleased with it. The Twisti is versatile and allows me to make several things in different ways from the one small unit. So far I have used every feature except the spread. By far though, the bowl feature is my family's favorite! The kids especially love the "fruity ice cream," that the older ones can make themselves. For me, the Twisti mechanism is the most novel accessory this high speed blender has, as I am able to twist and get every last thing blended properly. I finally have no more protein powder, unblended flax seeds or peanut butter stuck at the top of my shake cup. Because it is lightweight and compact, the Twisti can always be left out on my counter for all of us to use easily. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and I would recommend it.
