My fiancee has only used the blender once because of the lack of space in our cramped apartment, but it worked WONDERFULLY. He's a bit of a workout freak, so he loves the fact that the two smaller blenders have lids that he can drink from. Also, he likes that fact that he can make two protein drinks...one for now and one for later. The only reason I gave 4 stars for Durability is because that should be tested over time, which we have not had a lot of.

After having used the traditional blender for many years, this new style blender is great. With a family of foor, our old 64 oz blender was just too small and we always had to prepare an additional jar. This one has a very large 80 oz capacity and a little tap to serve drinks without taking it off the base (very handy). Blending goes very well. Rapid and smooth.We had a Hamilton blender (the traditional one) before, and at the end of its life, the drive mechanism (where the motor base and the jar connect) ate up the little plastic wheel, especially if one was not careful to place it correctly on the base.. The new one has the same drive mechanism (2 of them). But the jar sits very solidly in the base, and I cannot imagine having the same problem with this model.Cleaning is a tad more work as you need to take of two rotating bases and the tap. But that's 20 seconds additional.The jar is plastic. Glass might have been nicer, but the weight would most probably have been prohibitive (it is a big jar!).Overall, we could not have been happier with this addition in our kitchen. It gets used on average 4 times per week.

I'm not too tech savvy, but I found this blender, especially the smoothie cups difficult. to use. We've had a lot of messes and clean-up in our kitchen.

Great so far! Got it especially for margaritas and have been very happy! Only been using it for about a month so don't know how long a life it will have yet, but no complaints at all right now. Also versatile with the individual cups- made some good smoothies. Overall, a good buy.

The blender works most excellently! The only problem I have encoutered is when using the large pitcher it is difficult to get it to sit correctly (having 2 blades to engage).... perhaps there is a trick I don't know about and after several realigning maneuvers I do eventually get it seated right without having it leak. Super power and makes quick work of whatever you are blending. I would certainly recommend but if anyone has a suggestion on the dual blade seating I woyuld love to hear!
