This Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar is wonderful. I make smoothies and protein shakes regularly. My favorite part about the blender is that it's so quiet and that I can make a personal smoothie for myself. The design is really nice , it looks great on my kitchen counter and it doesn't take up a lot of space. I like the simple to use digital controls. I like that it come with the single serve jar and that it's dishwasher safe.
