This is my second Blender, the other being the Ikon, this is the updated version. I had the Ikon for 9 years and was very happy with it. I blend a lot of nuts which it handles very easily. I particularly like the plastic jug, the other was glass and quite heavy.

I'm new to smoothies and there are many dud blenders. So far I am extremely happy! I use almond milk, chia, psyllium husk, flax oil, frozen (banana, berries, kale & spinach) almonds & dates. It's a little noisy at first and I need a bit more than one cup of milk. There is definitely texture but I find everything fully blended, yummy and filling! I also love the streamlined base inside & outside made for easy cleaning
