Pretty awesome if you ask me. I don't currently have a standard blender to compare results, but from what I've seen so far things come out smoother.Outstanding results after 2 weeks of using it. Strong enough for ice and frozen berries and carrots, but also makes a fine puree smooth creamy results. Cleaning is easy, the only part that takes work is getting under the blades which is still as easy as any other blender I've owned. As far as noise level, the same applies, no louder than I remember any of my previous blenders. The vacuum process is pretty quiet.

Looked at several blenders before I bought this one and seemed like it could hold up to a Ninja, if not better. I had a Vitamix that I used primarily for smoothies and salsa but it broke. I was dying for smoothies but didn’t want to spend another $500! For 1/7 the price I decided to try this and was really impressed! 1000W means this baby does the job.

I did a trip to the grocery and stocked up on smoothie supplies and gave this baby a test run. I have to say, it did not disappoint and I can already tell this is going to be one of my top ten kitchen purchases. It works great for smoothies, milkshakes, and my favorite, homemade salsa.

The only disadvantage is that you can only make almost 24 oz at a time so we have to run it a few times for our family. I personally like the size because it works out well for us because some of us like different things in our smoothies so I would have to make several anyway. Another reason I like the size is because it is easier to fit places for storage than my much larger other one.

It’s so fast and efficient, and easy to clean too, so it’s not a hassle at all.

I just fill the cup with hot soapy water and a little dish soap - screw the blade on, turn it upside and shake, and soak for 10 min. Then rinse with hot water. Easier to clean than the Vitamix since it is smaller.
