It really can do everything! I love the convenience of having one machine with multiple uses. I've already gotten rid of my bulky food processor. I was able to make a jalapeno sauce, tomatillo salsa and red salsa all in 15 minutes! And a short time after that, my wife made herself a smoothie. I really love the fact that this product is dishwasher safe too. Being able to take the blade out makes life a lot easier. Major kudos to the included recipe book too. With all of the extra time I've been spending at home, it's nice to have some new recipes to look forward to trying.
