I typically hate using blenders, they’re loud and most take a while to blend everything up. This blender is much quieter than my magic bullet and some other blenders I’ve used as well. It seems to blend much better than previous blenders I’ve used as well, I think the cyclone design works much better than how other blenders are designed. I love having the portable container to blend smaller batches of smoothie in and take with me rather than finding another container to take it in. I recommend this to anyone who is tired of loud, time consuming blenders.
