The blender has good power, not the best out there, but still very good.  Works much better on fresh fruits and veggies instead of frozen ones.  You actually only get about 1/2 the container full once done because you can't overfill or it will not work.  It recharges quickly and holds the charge all day so I was able to use it in the car on a trip.  The cleaning is actually the best feature for me because it actually does clean very easily and does not need to be taken apart in pieces like others.  I wish the pour/sip lid would snap on top for storing instead of just sit loose because it keeps falling off in my cabinet.
