Don't get me wrong, I am happy with this product. I love it for single serving smoothies. But it's just not very good for making any of the other things they claim it should be able to do: hummus, pico, dicing onions. The product isn't really able to do much beyond blending things completely. Also, it has never been able to chip/crush ice for me. It makes a horrible sound and the ice cubes just tend to bounce around in the blending cup without anything actually happening to them, which has been the one thing I've found to be fairly disappointing.
