I'm not sure why my review never posted so I'm rewriting it. I'm in love with this blender! I don't think I've ever gotten a smooth smoothie. There's always lumps of frozen fruit or things that just don't blend as well. I'm also taken back by how it doesn't make as much noise as other blenders I've had. Honestly can't say enough good things about it. I love it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
