I used this to make smoothie bowls last night. I had cleaned it after unpacking it. Its very simple and lightweight, which i like. It was easy to clean and dry. I put ice, fresh spinach, frozen and fresh fruit, protein powder, oat milk, and some peanut butter in the blender and hit the smoothie button. It blended everything quickly!!!  Looked great then seemed to pause. I thought it was stuck like the blender i have now does. I opened it up to mix it around, which is what i have to do with my current blender to get things moving again, but it turned out that the smoothie was done!!!!  It was perfectly blended!!  And super fast!  I loved it!
