I do not like the fact that there are two buttons to be held down while using this device. One is supposed to be a safety feature and if you let go of it, it stops. Very awkward and uncomfortable compared to the kitchen aid i have at my other home.
This little blender is amazing. It's small and compact from a storage perspective. As a blender, it's equally amazing as making a shake is a snap and that includes grinding ice to make slushies.
