I’m impressed with how simple but up to date the design is on this blender. My mother in law was asking about it and as I made a smoothie for her. It’s nice to have a single container to use for myself since usually I am making something my kids don’t like. I do wish the single container was glass, the plastic seems sturdy but overall I prefer glass. The blender comes apart nicely so I felt I was able to clean each piece entirely. The larger pitcher for blending has grooves that make it easy for gripping if you’re not holding the handle. It’s a very thick but balanced design that appears to be good quality. The machine itself is easy to read and the buttons respond well to touch. Overall, I would recommend this blender for it’s quality and ease of use.
