It’s great for all kinds of blending recipes and eliminates the need for shaker bottles. In fact it blends/mixes better than shaker bottles and very quickly too.
I have a Cuisinart kitchen: Blender, immersion blender, food processor, convection oven, tea kettle and countless utensils and gadgets...all 5 stars for concept, design, functionality and value. The Blending/Chopping System is precision in a sleek design. I still comparison shop...and Cuisinart is consistently my first choice in style, performance and value.
Nice small compact personal blender. Daughter loves it for making herself smoothies in the morning. It is effective, but struggles at times to get through frozen fruit with either milk, water, or juice and sometimes ice cream. Easy to clean. We do not use the lids as it is COVID and we're eating at home.
