We make a lot of smoothies and icees and this blender blends ice better than any blender I have seen. It is even better than the smoothies in our mall. The ice has an almost silky texture that is fantastic. I think it is the specialized way the container and blade is shape cause all of the ice is pulled down. We are saving a lot of money making our own drinks with just ice and fruit than paying $5 and $8 a drink elsewhere. This is especially good since my wife and I are grad students and we don't have the extra money anyways but we do like iced drinks during our studies. We don't make sauces or anything else with this blender and it isn't a household multi purpose blender but it is great at making drinks.

I checked on many blenders to make smoothies. After reviewing them I chose this one as a middle of the road model that had great reviews. So far it has been fantastic and we make smoothies and protein drinks daily. Makes a fast breakfast drink even with ice!

Our family loves this blender because it actually moves and blends the product inside without stopping it to stir and hand mix. It is simple to use, easy to clean in the dishwasher, and holds up well. We had an identical one that lasted for more than 3 years. The cheap ones last less than 6 months at our house, so the reduced frustration is well worth the extra money.
