[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender was a replacement for a cheaper blender that I hated. Love the look of this blender... looks nice on my counter top. The blender itself holds a lot and is made of a heavy duty glass. It definitely gets the job done fast. I usually use it for smoothies but have had problems with the smoothie cups leaking so I don’t use them. But overall, awesome blender!
