This is a high-quality blender. I have had mine for over 2 years and it works great. It has a very powerful motor and can crush ice easily for frozen drinks. I have the black model and it works and looks great!

I love this blender. I saw the negative reviews and don't know what to say about that. It's powerful and well built. I make smoothies every single morning in it, always with ice, and I never have a problem liquifying it. It also looks very nice and cleans up easily.

I've only had it 2 months and it's already breaking and falling apart.

We use our blender daily for smoothies, the eggs for omelets, and soups. This blender will not even break up bananas and fresh strawberries compleley, and just forget about ice! The way we make smoothies now is to microwave frozen fruit until it is the cosistency of jam and then blend it with liquid and crushed ice. The drink is still chunky from the fruit and the larger pieces of crushed ice, but at least it is drinkable. We have to buy another bleder.
