I bought this to help my son after dental surgery. To prevent leaks it has to be very tight and my hands are a bit weak. But i powered thru to make smoothies every morning for my kids with fresh fruit.It is powerful enough but frustrating for me. Leaking is a problem. Then, within a month, the rubber seal came loose and wrapped itself around the blade. Now not usable without the purchase of a new blade. Wont be doing that anytime soon. It is also very loud.
I like the bullet but was so upset that they no longer give you the lid for the big cup. I make a full glass smoothie, it lasts about 3 days but have to put plastic (hate that) or waxed paper over it. If this one breaks & they do not include the lid, I won't buy it again.
