Most amazing blender I've ever seen!!!!!

We used for the first time this morning, it was great! So much easier to make smoothies, blended everything easily. We used the extract and smoothie presets. About the same results, extract blends for 60 seconds, smoothie 30 seconds. Smoothie was slightly thicker. Easy to clean. Cups are large, no problem hand washing them, and less dishes to wash since you are using one container. The smoothie bowl attachment, I can see how it maybe a pain to clean, not sure how much I will use it. No more struggling to get the smoothie out of a large pitcher into a cup. Plenty of power, I have no doubts it will be able to handle anything I put in it. I've had the same blender for years and no where near the power of this one. We didn't know what we were missing, totally worth upgrading. I went with this blender because I wanted to make it easier to make a smoothie for on the go. I don't use my blender pitcher/food processor enough to justify buying a whole new set up. I wanted the personal size cups, but I'm not sure about those rechargeable portable blenders being able to blend well. This is exactly what I wanted without spending too much money on accessories I probably wouldn't use often or getting a gadget that may not measure up.
