The Obliterator blender is my first Chefman product. Upon the first use of the blender I became a Chefman fan. This blender is the first and only blender in my 54 years of life that has ever done the job. Someone did a fantastic job designing it. It's really easy to clean. It's super powerful and capable. No one will be disappointed. It's loud- I guess. But I'm pretty sure my blender says "nom nom nom" while it's eating up ice and frozen food to make creamy smoothies. Best ever product!!!
