I am not kidding when I say this it literally the best blender I have ever had. It is easy to use, and clean. It blends ice into snow which is great for hot summer days when all you want is a frozen adult beverage. It blends fruits and veggies flawlessly, making the perfect smoothies. I use this blender daily for my smoothies. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking a blender. This one is truly the best of the best.
