Honest, detailed review
Writing a review because I know I was looking for help when debating on spending $400 on a blender lol! Here’s my opinion:
It definitely gets the job done, especially if you’re used to $50 blenders like I was. It’s very powerful, not loud AT ALL in comparison to the smaller blenders. In fact, I think it’s pretty quiet for the power it has! I’ve seen reviews it’s loud, and honestly that’s silly because it’s a blender, why would you expect otherwise? The only negatives I have about it, is you can’t leave the blender alone without holding it down if the speed dial is higher than about 3, because it’s so powerful I guess it shakes and moves all over the counter. So you have to hold it down while you’re blending. Also, i assumed because it’s powerful I could throw any and every frozen item in it and expect it to blend it perfectly smooth within 30 seconds. False lol! It’s powerful but still a gadget, you have to be careful or you’ll hurt the blades. It takes a bit of getting used to. DEFINITELY read the instruction handbook, because otherwise you won’t blend right and you’ll hate it. The first couple times I used it I thought it was junk, until I realized there are certain speeds you’re supposed to use for certain things. Game changer. Major pro is it is so so so convenient to clean- you just pour a drop of dish soap in it and warm water and blend away. Cleaner than any scrubbing!
Takeaway- if you’re on a tight budget, I wouldn’t necessarily splurge. But if you have the extra cash, it’s definitely better than any blender you’re used to! I do love it and glad I gave it a shot, but I only have the Ninja and Magic Bullet to compare to. Hope this helps!
