This is one powerful blender. It’s not noisy. The lid handle could be made a little easier to grab. Highly recommended.

I bought this on Prime Day because it was inexpensive. A good example of getting what you pay for. It does a much worse job than my 30 year-old blender at simply blending things up, especially pureeing any kind of vegetables.

Pros:
Easy to disassemble to clean (few parts)
Clever cord storage to “customize” the length of cord showing by manually winding the cord underneath the blender base
The bottom of the blender pitcher assembly is made to cover the blender base while using the blender. This deflects or “sheds” any spills away from the blender base. A nice design touch to make it easier to clean if any spills happen.
The blender blades are not sharp but somehow work great. Not sharp = won’t cut you easily.
Substantial, thick, sturdy glass pitcher (which can be placed in the freezer to help keep your milkshakes or cold smoothies even colder while you make them.
Cons:
when I put “chunky” items into a milkshake or health shake, sometimes a few chunks survive the blending. I get around this by cycling the “ice” setting a few times and it (usually) gets all the chunks.
A lot of blenders have this problem, and this blender is no exception.
Other:
I’ve had different blenders over the years and this one is what I would call “average” for noise. Not terribly loud, but not as quiet as the more expensive models. The noise level is appropriate for this price point.

This blender has plenty of power. The ice crusher is excellent. No rubber seal. I love the glass container. Reasonably priced.

I love this blender! The glass jar is perfect and really solid. The lid, with 2 openings, makes both pouring and adding liquids so easy and neat. Has lots of power. I highly recommend this!

I just got it yesterday and I’m using it this morning. It was not loud at all. It ran very smooth so far. It’s a blender

Difficult to get some food pieces out of bottom of the jar but seems to blend o.k.. Not super powerful but gets basic blending done and love the glass. Not too heavy.

Great price for a glass blender jar did not want plastic. Best value and product for the money. Never leaks. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MOST BLENDERS MADE NOWADAYS DO NOT SWITCH BUTTONS UNTIL THE MOTOR STOPS. UNLESS ONLY USUNG THE PULSE BUTTONS

I always wanted to have the blender like the healthy glass one that we used to have me growing up. It’s so sturdy. Just not strong enough maybe for nut butter but it does the job for us as we do soups and shakes and it’s great for this purpose .
