What a massive upgrade from my old blender. This thing just screams power. And it's so simple. No fancy buttons. No fancy timers. Nothing to break. No attachments or sticks or whatnot. It is literally just a mega powerful blender. The first day I got it, my family wanted me to make margaritas to test it out. AND BOY DID IT DELIVER. I made countless batches for my family of 5. It's easy to clean. There is only one column of blades and food washes off in seconds with hot water. The pitcher is made of some sort of magic non-stick plastic because it also rinses off super easily. Overall, I love it. And I can't wait to make more smoothies and margaritas with it.
