I recently got this blender a few days ago and I am so happy that I did! This is the most awesome blender I have ever used. I specifically got it to make smoothies for my lil guy. He's 5 years old and obsessed with smoothies. 
I knew this blender had a bunch of different settings, but my goodness! I'm loving it so to say. I like to be in the kitchen cooking, especially with my lil guy. This is easy enough for him to remember which button's to press for our smoothie making time. This is also great because I just had a new grandson and his mom is big on making his food from scratch, so this will really come in handy.
All in all I'm very pleased with this blender.
I love the sleek design of it and that it doesn't sound like a mac truck starting up. That's a big plus for me.
