A:AnswerThis brand has several motor speeds, I primarily use it to make my green smoothies so I purchased the 1500 hp motor.
I burnt out the motors on two other smaller personal blenders, so I tried this one because it had the stronger motor and I can make 72 oz at a time.
I hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes. It comes with 2 single serve cups, 2 lids for the cups, and 1 single serve blade. The only drawback would be that the mouth of the lids is always open so they don't make great travel mugs.
A:AnswerAbsolutely! We use it to grind wheat berries into flour and have been doing so for the last 3 years with no problems and no apparent wear & tear on the machine...and wheat berries are hard!!
