    Much easier to use and clean than my full size blender
    5 Stars
    Much easier to use and clean than my full size blender
    Not the most powerful, but I am very satisfied for the price. At first, my hand got very fatigued during use until I figured out that I was doing it wrong. Do not grip it with your thumb on the button; instead wrap your hand around it so that your stacked fingers (index through ring finger) line up over the oblong button area (see photo). It requires very little pressure to activate the button. I was gripping much too hard, thus contributing to fatigue. For storage, I found that the end of a plastic-wrap roll fits perfectly over the blade end; I just cut off the excess box length and taped it together; now I can toss this into my gadget drawer without worrying about damaging the blade or cutting myself on it.The owner's manual in the box was out of date; you can download the correct one from the manufacturer's website. Note that the owner's manual fails to mention that when you twist the blending arm onto the motor body, you've got to ensure the tick marks line up after assembly (see photo). They probably thought this was so obvious that it goes without saying, but judging by the reviews it appears that many people have not figured this out, resulting in the blending arm falling off during operation.I wish the blending jar were microwave safe but that's a minor issue. For the money, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I use this for pureeing soup and vegetables; I have not tried smoothies or anything with ice.
