Solid blender--good size and ice-crush feature works for smoothies.
I've been using this for a few weeks, and I like it. I mainly use it for smoothies and ice-based drinks, so I especially like the ice crush feature. Some other things I like: wide internal base of the container, container locks into base before you turn it on, and the pour spout functions reasonably well (fewer drips than last blender by another maker). The only issue I have is the height--with the container on the base, it it is a snug fit under my cabinets (though I do have an older kitchen, with relatively low cabinets at about 15 inches of clearance).
