Motor unit heavy and sits firmly on the worktop via suckered feet. 

Although we seldom use it it’s far easier to leave it out than put it away, so for us it would benefit from having a loose-fitting lid to hide the spindle (the vessels we keep in the cupboard as one doesn’t know which size will be needed next!), but for regular users this won’t be an issue. 

Worth flagging that it works best with wet ingredients and isn’t really designed for pulsing [as the locking pins tend to catch], but at the end of the day it is sold as a smoothie maker rather than a grinder so one can’t complain at that!

Good value for money, I’d say.
