This is a awesome blender. very strong and powerful. has a suction cups for stabilizing and a few settings to select from. several speeds and very sturdy jug and engine. firm grip and easily handles everything - from ice to frozen foods and frozen veggies, also crushed some lentils with the blender and grounded up some oats. The blender includes a stick to "help" the machine to achieve even grinding and smooth texture. Blender is very stable and looks great. a wonderful kitchen addition.
I will confess to being a cheapskate. So when looking for a new blender The discount offered on this one caught my eye. I've never heard this brand before but specs and power were looking promising, then I decided to roll the dice and try it. So far, I’m impressed. There are actually multiple blade points in the mechanism. I make smoothies for breakfast almost every day. This blender OBLITERATED the ice. The carafe is larger than my old one, so I can make two at once. The base is large and fairly bulky, so you need to make counter space for it. With the carafe, it’s too tall to sit on countertop under overhead cabinets. Overall, I’m very pleased with the powerful performance of this blender. It was worth the gamble on an unknown name. Updating: have been using this blender for a month, make protein smoothies 5-6 days a week. It is far better than my expectations. Reduces ice cubes to slush in under 30 seconds. No big lumps of ice. I’m very, dry satisfied with this powerful blender.
We love the power of this blender, we had a ninja before but I didn’t blend up nearly as finely as this one. Rough vegetables and fruits like beets and carrots turn into liquid very quickly with barely any roughage making it a lot more digestible. We make plant mylks, smoothies, lots of nice cream. Works very well. We use it every day! Any issue we face was solved promptly and kindly by customer service! Thank you
