tell me this isn't the cutest blender you've ever seen!! I just love how it looks on my counter retro but modern, cheerful and useful. Now when you put it too use you get more than you bargained for, its really efficient, pretty quiet, gives you a great smoothie. It breaks down ice leaving just a hunt of texture and blends bananas and frozen fruits like a dream.. Well worth the price, I found mine  at the outlet but it was the same price a online, great deal!
