Absolutely love this blender. I use it daily for at least one meals. This blender does everything you'd want it to do with ease. From smoothies to soups, pasta sauces and salsas... I've made it all using this blender and it has made preparing meals so much easier. With a busy household filled with hungry children, I love that I can keep frozen fruit handy and quickly make them smoothies to do.  When I tried to do this before having this blender, the kids always complained about the chunks of fruit remaining in the smoothie. Not with this blender, it blends everything consistently and completely resulting in the perfect smoothie every time.
