Wow! What great drinks and smoothies this blender makes! I had a smoothie party for my son and his friends and it worked smoothly. It blended all the ice and fruit pieces up and the turned out great! I don’t like big chunks of fruit and the blender met all my expectations. Everyone was happy. I have even made homemade shakes and it also did a great job. It was nice and quiet. I also like that it comes with a glass jar, I use it to take my healthy drinks to work with me. It is fast and easy to use. This is a great product in my opinion!
