When I use fresh fruits and veggies it works superbly. Whenever frozen fruits or veggies are involved I have to stop it frequently and stir it because the content stop moving which is quite frustrating. Also I’ve had a bit of trouble doing simple things like baby food (quinoa and water, oatmeal and water, etc...). Whenever I follow a recipe in the included booklet it usually turns out great but when I try to do something on my own using the same liquid to solid ratio I usually have problems.
I hate it. It has the smallest blades and it takes 15 minutes to make a smoothie with frozen fruit. Don't waste your money.

It has its limitations, and you should be aware of them before using it for anything. Also, invest in the blade scraper and the dry foods container will run you a pretty penny, but it’s needed. Overall, recommend getting the shorter container so your base is wider, but that just means more $$$. Don’t know if I’ve found it worth the expense yet, but it’s far more powerful than my last blender which was practically worthless.
