I don’t know what kind of engineer designed this horrid thing. It’s difficult to get the top part aligned just right for it to click it to the base. It takes me many tries and even when I do succeed, the blade portion pops out. There are spills from the lid, even if I don’t fill it to the max. The little legs have little spikes instead of a smooth surface, so you can expect to have food stick to them - specially, in between each spike. The top part has the teeniest little spout so pouring anything out makes a mess. The motor/blade is powerful enough to do blending for uses like making sauce or salsa, but the design makes it frustrating.
