Powerful machine and can do soups is a plus I love my power mechine I can do simple smoothes to more power needing jobs I like that I can liquidfy things when needed and make hot soups in winter. It's big enough for my family of 4 easy to take out and put away. Love the tool push down it comes handy.

Sounds like a jet engine! This thing is really, really great. We had an old Oster blender (that I think we got as a wedding gift) that would smoke when you tried to grind ice cubes. This thing doesn't even blink when filled with ice, just revs up and crushes them smooth. Makes the best, fastest smoothies.
