I love how this blender looks, with the single knob dial and button, keeps it simple, not like the previous styles with tons of buttons. the glass pitcher is sturdy, and the option for the personal cups is a great addition as well when I just want to make a single smoothie. I do wish there was a slightly bigger option for the cups though, maybe in the 30-32oz range, as the cups are a little TOO small for myself. 

Th blender is pretty sleek too, looks good in a modern kitchen.
