Mix-result:
well, sometimes just satisfactory. Quite small, he does not get some things, even if you are purely chopped ingredients. Run much longer then does not help, because it becomes frothy. There smoothie recipes that recommend to mix the seeds with. I tried it with papaya seeds. The result was an extremely crumbly matter that one could hardly enjoy. Since then I let his experiments of this kind. I can live quite well with the partially somewhat crude Mixergebnis, for higher demands this unit could also be a problem. And just as it did other reviewers have noted, the mixer needs sufficient liquid to mixing can.
Volume:
The volume is adequate and safe depending on the application. Crushed Ice I have not tried yet.
Cleaning:
Simply rinsing is not enough, because residues accumulate under the knife block and the sealing ring. So for the complete cleaning states: expand knife block and then reinstall. And this sits quite firmly (which it probably is). I use a cloth and move the opposite knobs simultaneously, so that nothing tilts. Nevertheless, I have always the feeling to break my fingers. But it is doable. When installing you should pay attention to a faint popping noise. This indicates to me that the knife block is really engaged. You can not hear it or has even the slightest doubt, I recommend only times a round with water to turn (I speak from experience). By the time you get the hang of it then.
Conclusion:
For smoothies, soups and the like this blender for its price range gives quite acceptable results and is more visually appealing than the expensive high-end devices.
