I couldn’t love this blender more. The self cleaning feature is amazing. The tamper is so perfectly designed. The snap on/off lid is so easy to use. The plastic is durable, the blades are strong and precise. I don’t have any complaints about the way this blender operates. It’s not quiet, but I don’t feel like it is supposed to be. I’ve been able to make cookie dough, soups, smoothies, and fantastic blended drinks. If you’re curious if it’s worth the money, it absolutely has my vote. Their customer service is also phenomenal. Highly recommend!
