Received this as a gift and find that I use it almost daily. It's certainly better for my diet as I'm not a big salad person but don't mind including veggies in my smoothie. No technical issues but do wish the rubber gasket was a little easier to get back in. I find it necessary to remove/wash often as an occasional piece of food gets trapped.
Unit is really good, but the lid is very hard to get to not leak. I’ve screwed it on tight, then when i turned it over to use, it leaks. My old unit did not have this problem.
I purchased this item for my daughter who wanted to use it to make baby food. This product works like a charm! She made various fruits and vegetables for her little one in record time. This was a great investment that we will use over and over again. I even have used it for our cooking and baking!
This unit works well but has one very irritating characteristic. After mixing the drink in it, once the top is removed to pour out the contents the rubber gasket in the cap containing the blades comes loose and falls out. It requires finesse and a knife to get it properly seated again. Extremely irritating! Happens almost every time
