I had the 600 model and was happy with how it processed the food but we were thinking of buying a more expensive blender/extractor when we saw this model. We are very satisfied with the additional power of the Pro model. We use it at least 3 times a day creating some of our own drinks. After I eat my oatmeal, I put eggs, kale, spinach and cinnamon, and protein power in for a fantastic high protein drink before going to the gym. I love how easy it is to use and clean. Just after we bought it, my son gave us the same model for Father's day...
I like it but it really isn't what I was expecting. I don't like the clean up process at all. It's very loud too. Honestly I didn't need it because I have a blender.
This blender does the job very well. The one problem I have already encountered is the rubber gear drive on the blade unit when engaged in the plastic drive gear of the motor. It seems that the rubber is stronger than the plastic and causes the plastic sockets to start shedding plastic. This then requires scraping out the sockets before engagement the next time for operation.
I bought this about a month ago. It is perfect for my morning protein drinks. The clean up is so easy and I love the fact that I don't have to use another to container to drink from.
Follow the mfg directions and you will be be pretty happy with the ease of making and consuming just about any kind of smoothie ever!! Plus -- It's sooooh EZ to clean! Fast and furious -- we abandoned our other smoothie maker and use this decide daily !! Highly recommended !!!!
