The first thing you notice about this blender is its sheer, incredible weight. With a chunky glass jug and solid stainless-steel base, it feels expensive, solid and professional. I chose it because all of the appliances in my kitchen are chrome and it matches really well with the general scheme. But as well as being very beautiful, it is without a shadow of a doubt the best blender I've ever owned. The blades are still as sharp as the day I got it; they cope with fruit, veg and crushed ice without any problems and, If you aren't very careful, you can still cut yourself on them when you're cleaning it. But I don't only use it for smoothies... it also does a great line in soups and cocktails... so when you've finished being healthy, you can get steaming drunk! Its only bad point in cleaning - the tap at the bottom has no problems with thin fluids like orange juice but has trouble coping with chunky or gloopy stuff like banana based smoothies. If it clogs, cleaning it can be a bit of a mission. However, this little fact should not stop you from buying one, because you can always just be lazy and pour the drinks from the top.

The final thing to note is the price... at seventy quid, it may seem expensive, but in consideration of the longevity of the object; it's a bargain.
