(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This rating is based on using the personal jars only, as I have not used the larger pitcher jug yet. I purchased this to replace a very old and well used magic bullet, which I primarily used to blend smoothies for my child. This specific model is perfect for us, because it comes with the personal jars. I love that there are bright colour options, but a bit disappointed that orange wasn't one of them. My only improvement for this appliance would be if it had a retractable cord or an area to wrap/tuck it into.
