My wife has decided to jump on the smoothie bandwagon, and this blender does it all. I have never seen a blender do such a great job. From chopping frozen pineapple and mango and mixing with yogurt and some liquid, the design of the blades and sculpted sides of the container it keeps pulling down the contents and continues blending and chopping to produce a smooth drink. Ingenious design has changed the future of the blender forever.
