This is a well constructed high-quality unit that looks great too. The power/pulse button is slightly hair-trigger so be cautious when using on soups etc to avoid kitchen splatters. The powerful motor makes short work of most tasks, and the blender attachment has reversible blades for greater longevity.

Bought this recently. Have used it to make four batches of pumpkin soup and guacamole. Easy to use and to clean.
