So big and heavy that unless it could live on my kitchen counter, which was unwise because I don't use a blender that much, it was too cumbersome to move in and out of storage.  So sold it.  I have an older KitchenAid blender that works fine, is smaller in size and weight and perfectly adequate for my uses.  This one was sent to me free, would not have bought one, have no idea of retail price so guessing at some of the categories below. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
