Best blender I've ever had. We've used it daily since we got it and I even took it to the city swim meet, where we were running concessions. We made smoothies nonstop the entire weekend and it did just fine.
Wish I had bought this first. Bought a Ninja to begin with and it couldn't just wouldn't grind everything up. The Pro is wonderful, quickly and efficiently extracts and blends even the toughest ingredients, watermelon rind, seeds, apple peel. Only issue has been leakage if the blade base is not on tight enough. Very hard to open after blending though. Great to be able to easily clean the motor base unit.
I've had this for about 1 month and am happy with how well it breaks down frozen fruits and greens. I wish the container and blades weren't so wide, as they are hard for me to grip to open (I'm 5'4" and don't think of myself as having particularly small hands though). I use protein powders and wish that there wasn't as many spots for things to get stuck in corners, which makes it harder to fully mix as well as clean.
I like this because it does a good job blending ice in my smoothies. That is the main reason I purchased it. It is also easy to clean. I like that I can rinse the blades off immediately and then wash the cup later when I have finished drinking my smoothie.
