I purchased this primarily with milkshakes and smoothies in mind. For those tasks, it works great. It will get further use with soups and salsas when I will give those things a whirl to thicken them, while still retaining some texture. I'm sure I'll find other uses as tasks arise. It's easy to clean and it is powerful enough to blend ice cream and fruits.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This model is fine—easy to clean, does the basic chopping and purée-ing. However, it has a strange safety mechanism that forces you to press two buttons simultaneously in order to get it to work. I consider this a design flaw.

I love how readily the blender cleans up. I don't mind that it has a cord. However, unless there is good level of liquid it splatters everywhere. Unless you pour into the plastic cup it would not be workable for gravy. Even the soup I made (and it was a large batch) was too low and splattered everywhere, even on low. It will take some getting used to.

It works as intended but gets very hot, when it does this it produces an odor of melting plastic. Which makes me feel concerned, but it has not yet broken.

I love the blender and didn't even think about the fact that it is metal. It is a great blender (so far) but when I was washing the pan, I realized that it had scratched up the bottom of the pan. Seems like there needs to be a plastic or silicon bumper on the bottom to prevent scratches.

I treated myself to this thinking it would make pureeing soups easier, but it's actually not! I think a blender works much better! It takes a long time to get everything blended! The controls are a little difficult as well!
