I have been through 3 blenders in less than 4 years and the quality is not good. The base is made of cheap plastic and the top rim where the cup is twisted into is also plastic & over time the force of the motor causes the plastic on the rim & base to crack & it will eventually make the device inoperable. They should have used stronger metal instead for the high price of this blender.
My cousin bought this for my birthday. I've had it for about a month. It is great size, doesn't take up too much space on the counter. It is also fast when blending fruit, ice and protein powder mix. However, I do not like the fact of how loud it is and that it didn't come with more accessories. I was expecting a smaller cup and another blade.
I am not sure if i need to buy a expensive one for what i need, after i got the NutriBullet, I really like it, it does good job for what i need, so no need to get a expensive one.
I was concerned about purchasing this product because of some of the reviews. I'm glad I did. It is an improvement over the last blender I had which was a Bella. It was too noisy and not as powerful. The only thing that I wish it was had was a timer. That would be great to know how long the blender was running.
I bought this a few weeks ago and have used it daily, sometimes twice a day! My cravings of the past were not healthy; I now look forward to the most nutritious and satisfying smoothies I can make!
I've tried may different blenders for making smoothies, none work this great. The only problem I have is the large container does not fit tight and leaks a little. The small container works perfect though
