I've been using this blender nonstop since I've gotten it. I love how well it makes everything, from smoothies to more smoothies, the way the blade can break down frozen or hard foods and make everything smooth is awesome! I've made hummus, and pesto sauces in this blender and it's done a great job. Love the sleek look of it and I want to keep it out on my counter top. It's a great quality blender!
