Used it once so far to make a smoothie, just finished it. The preset modes use variable speeds to get your drink or smoothies just right. I bet that'll be amazing when i make my recipes for dessert hummus!

The self clean function is nice, but you still need to scrub or throw it in the dishwasher on occasion.

This is certainly as powerful and functional as my blendtec, but much prettier and ergonomic. I am so glad i waited and researched blenders, because this doesn't disappoint!

The self timer feature takes all the guesswork out of getting a perfect blend. It has it's own clean blender cycle, which only takes seconds! Had to get here asap and tell you.

Could not be happier with the purchase. The blender is more powerful than the previous one. My only negative comment is about the aesthetics of the blender.

The blender's pitcher blade assembly became loose. This leaks grease into the blender jar and collects in the base where the pitcher sits. The blender is really loud and not the best blender.
