Pros & Cons
Pros
The asymmetric blade, square ribbed jar design, and automated motor speed control do an exceptional job of blending. The only disappointment is that the speeds and blending cycles are difficult to see as the lettering is small.

Competitiveness

The blender jars appear to be made of the same kind of plastic lexan plexiglass i think as cuisinart food processor work bowls have been made for decades so it is strong but not unbreakable

With a glass jar you can add very hot liquids to blend a soup for example but with plastic i am careful to let hot food cool to a temperature that i can touch comfortably before blending
