First off I loved my regular plain jane blender not realizing that other blenders could do so much more. This blender is life! Great for smoothies in the am while getting ready for work, and also great for margaritas after! I love the fact it came with 2 personal mugs for blending and to take on the go. So many speeds as well. Easy to clean too! Im truly in love with this blender and use it daily for my smoothies to take on the go. I really dont know how I lived without this! My plain jane blender is now gone and wont be back! There is nothing about this blender I dont love!
