Has worked well for smoothies, a soup and pureed banana peel; is less loud than prior Blendtec. Cleans itself well. Is too tall to fit on refrigerator shelf, but contents transferable to other containers.
my favorite model. I feel like the short containers have a tendency to make all the food go all over the container. The taller container has a better vortex and whatever you are blending just stays toward the bottom. Smoothies are smooth and velvety, not foamy.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
We bought this blender years ago and it is amazing! We dropped it about a year ago and it started to act up, but still worked. It still works now, but after 15 years it is time for a new one. Our family (husband, wife and 6 children) LOVE it!
