Most ": - Compact enough, that blender does not take up much space on the worktop - Easy to use - Open / easy close - Remaining cooking time displayed on the screen: easy to manage the time available to finish preparing the meal - Possibility of making your own settings based on the current preparation - Not tested for crushed ice - Transparent window to take a practice during cooking glance The "minus": - Extremely hot bowl during and after cooking: attention to small hands! - Ridiculous recipe booklet - All revenue not convincing: some are watery and insipid shot In summary: very good but forget the recipe book and go find on the net.
