I bought this 1800W professional high speed blender for my kitchen. I can make smoothies at home with this large blender container. It has a blender stick to help me crash the ingredients well and I like the small blender jar to blend herbs, coffee or garlic. I can use it as a food processor, very multifunctional. It is not a problem to bend ice cubic. The panel is mechanics and easy to operate. I think my smoothies tastes good and healthier with my own ingredeients.
