This blender is very nice,it come with two canisters (metal and glass)I would have given this blender a higher mark of 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that the metal canister leak at the seal.It's more on the high end scale at a cheaper price.Definetly worth the money spent for it.All other functions work perfectly well.

This is my third blender in the last year. The first lasted one day. My last one just wasn't making it when it comes for crushing ice and making smoothies and the 10 speeds were worthless.

I've owned this blender for about one month and the plastic gear already fell off of the bottom on the glass jar. It's still like the others in that I have to constantly open up the top and stir the ingredients to get it to make a simple smoothie.

I was given this blender as a gift a short time back. At first my impression was wow, a nice blender. Then after using it a few times, my attitude towards it grew sour. It has a big motor that only seems to get hot and strip the base gears. I'm looking elsewhere for its replacement.
