I purchased this blender 3 years ago, I used it everyday!! It is still the best blender I'ver ever used. I recommend it to anyone I hear or see doing a "green smoothie detox", or if they are wanting to "get into" making smoothies, soups, sauces.. etc. Nothing can make a smoothie taste clumpy like a horrible blender. By recommending this amazing product everyone can have the most perfect experience to start and stay on their lifestyle changes.
