Bought this unit a few weeks ago and have used it ALOT in that amount of time.  Have made all kinds of drinks and every type that this machine is capable of making.  As far as the drinks go, they are as advertised....excellent quality for sure and I highly recommend as far as that goes.  The not so great part is it leaks water everywhere.  The compartment in the back does catch some but you better put a thick towel under it if you don't want everything soaked.  Also, the silver part that locks over the jar (won't run if it is not all the way over) vibrates during operation and moves so that the machine shuts off.  You have to stand there and hold it in place if you don't want to keep restarting it.  That is annoying and a better lock system would have been great!  For the price it shouldn't leak or shut off but it does.
