[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can we first talk about how gorgeous this blender is? It’s so sleek and I couldn’t love how it looks on my counter more! It’s strong and does such a great job! Plus, it comes with a glass and plastic jar? AMAZING! The plastic one is perfect for when I cook with my littles, but the glass is great for anything I worry might stain the jar. Easy to assemble and use right out of the box. Adore this blender!
If I could give zero stars, I would. It’s not possible to disassemble this blender to properly clean under the blade mount, but there is a lip under there and some sort of pocket??? that collects material from whatever you’ve blended. The last few times we’ve used the blender, I’ve told my husband that something smells bad and sure enough, after blending watermelon last night, and THOROUGHLY cleaning the blender as far as possible, you can see in the photos that there is watermelon and who knows what else trapped under the blade mount in an unsealed compartment. You cannot scrub it off because it’s under the glass, exchanging bacteria from trapped debris with every use. DISGUSTING design flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very pleased with the power and speed of this blender. It handles frozen fruit for a smoothie with ease. I prefer a glass jar and didn't think I'd need the second jar but I've already used the plastic one too and it was really handy to have both!
