Time with product: 3

Strengths: Chews through whatever I throw in it. Has no problems with ice/etc. Good quality construction.

Weaknesses: Occasionally without enough liquid it will create an air pocket down by the blades when blending ice.

Summary: Very simple, powerful, reliable blender. No fancy speed settings just a good old fashion simple on and off switch.I know some people complain about how loud it is but it doesn't seem any louder then I'd have expected out of a blender. I've been using it almost daily for 3 months and couldn't be happier with it.

Strengths: power

Weaknesses: noise

Summary: Many of the other reviews said that this is a loud blender - and it is. I am used to it now and noise does not bother me that much. I have only had it for a short time but have had no problems. I use it to make smoothies with frozen fruit and they are perfect every time. I made a mistake and did not tighten the bottom at all before mixing one day and when I picked it up, there was smoothie everywhere! Cleanup was very easy because of the design. It is all sort of molded as one piece and I did not have to get smoothie out of lots of tiny crevices. I'm happy with it so far.
