Hello, we have a little disabled boy who eats only mixed. We utlisons this mix every day plusiseurs time. We tried lots of brands and models, which were not powerful enough or broke down after a few weeks. This is the only mix that takes distance and that is powerful enough to mix just about any food. This is the third in 10 years. So an average life of 5 years in daily use and unceremoniously, which is quite exceptional for this type of device. So I highly recommend.
