Was super excited for this purchase, but the blender/container didn't function properly and ruined the outfit I was wearing - it made a huge mess in my kitchen. I followed instructions and measurements to a T. Also, it appeared to have been used or handled upon opening the box. There were fingerprints when I first opened it and the packaging inside the box was messy - which makes it seem that it had been used (or at least handled) before arriving to us. Wanted so badly to love this!
