I have found my new party partner with this blender! It's sleek, easy to use and washes easily! I blending jar is all glass but can be tossed in the dishwasher. The top, with the removal measuring top, helps me follow the recipe with accurate results. The muddle spoon helps with the blending of fruits, fresh and frozen, for milkshakes and mixed drinks. However, my FAVORITE part of the blender is the spout placed on the top. It makes pouring into glasses a breeze, especially for a klutz like me. My only negative that I have with the blender is I would have loved a recipe book along with it to inspire me to use it for more than icy drinks. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
