What a big and better difference from my old blender. I got this BD blender a couple of weeks ago to replace my old 10+ year  old blender. It make much less noise, crushes and blends better, has smart functions and a nice jar/cup for the go, we use that all the time. It’s nice to be able to make a smoothie or shake and take it with me without the hassle or mess from trying to find a cup and getting it in the cup without a mess, It’s real easy to clean up and the blade comes out with ease less worry about cutting yourself. I would definitely recommend this BD blender to others.
