First.... the color is so nice. If you are looking for something that “pops”, the metallic red does just that!  Very nice to look at!
Second.... if you want a nice blender that works very well. This is the blender for you. It made smoothies very well and of course the milk shakes, rock. I have not had a blender for years and did forget how loud they can be....but hey you are crushing up ice, what do you expect?  
All in all a VERY nice blender. I would recommend. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
