I'd had my eye on the 7500 for a while. I saved up to make sure I had the cash to include the 32oz wet cup (it's just me and hubby, and smoothie portions are small for us).

I use the clean cycle, but I also hand wash the cup. Just me. 

We've used it for smoothies and a KILLER, nightshade-free, cherry BBQ sauce. Everything has turned out fabulously so far! I'm very informed as far as models and features, so I researched the daylights out of this purchase, and I'm not disappointed. Great buy; totally worth it!!!
