My mom has this blender and food processor and I love using it. So when I found it on here on sale and I had to get it! The blender works great for my morning smoothies and crushes ice relatively easily. I haven't used the food processor yet, but I am excited to soon! Disassembly for cleaning is also easy. I put everything in the dishwasher except the blade which I wash by hand. This blender is also great for margaritas!
