Easy to use as a college student in a dorm. It is sometimes hard to clean. Also, make sure you follow the liquid amount for making the smoothies. Otherwise they come out super thick and gross.
I bought this about a month ago, but I love it. So powerful, I can make smoothies and milkshakes (that are perfectly blended! No pulp) in minutes. It's also super easy to clean up. The cups are pretty big. I use the smaller one more often unless I'm making a smoothie for 2 people.
I received this as a gift for christmas and it's amazing. It has no problem blending fruit and ice for smoothies or grinding beans for coffee. I've even started using it for baking as well. I have had no issues and I love the different lids it comes with. I've used this daily for months now and the blades are still sharp.
