(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Aesthetically pleasing, the product is sturdy and blends in nicely with any kitchen countertop through its silver-tone finish and quality functional knob. Once operating, you can sense the power, without the excess noise. It blends my shakes so smoothly like it is cutting through butter and makes it so much more enjoyable to slurp on drinks without having chunks in them. It is worth the investment over other cheaper products.
