I've had quite a few blenders over the years, but I really loved this TriForce Power Blender. It was really easy to use and I loved the different food program options. I usually make smoothies with frozen bananas and always end up with chunks of bananas that don't blend all the way. This blender using the smoothie option was SO smooth! No more chunks! It was a little difficult to clean, but I found that running it under warm water right after making my smoothie helped. This is my new go-to blender.
