This blender is powerful, amazing and addictive!
Here are the essentials:
Seller - Shipped the same day ordered, received in 2 days. They are very fast
Condition - Although refurbished, item looked new and came in original box and packaging
Functionality - Competes with the Vitamix without the $350 plus price tag. I blend as smoothies apples, kale, spinach, nuts, all types of frozen fruits. banana...etc and this blender takes care of it all making perfect smoothies each time. It has a preset feature for smoothies which blends everything to perfection. It is called IQ because of this feature! It also has 2 other containers for blending other foods...I have not used it at all. The large container makes more than enough and covers everything I need. I am so impressed with this thing. I am addicted.
Cleaning - Very easy to clean - warm water and soap rinse clean. No need to use dishwasher although you can. I just rinse immediately following and it is clean.
Now for the BAD - Well only one bad to report. This blender is loud...no really loud. My kids get a kick out of it. We can only use it in between shows at commercials :). No, really it can be used any time but the thing is loud. I compare it to trying to talk over a chainsaw. I love it because you know it is powerful. It is surprisingly loud.
Overall! I would buy it again!
