I bought the blender in order to make mainly smoothies. This works almost flawlessly. A small deduction there, because the mix of frozen fruit does not really work. I put this now always about 1/2 hour before in and begieße them with a little hot water. Also, the mix of cashews (purpose vegetable grater cheese production) works great. Well, I think the gradual adjustment of power. In addition, there is a switch Pulse (P) to puree to frozen (or halbgefrorendes). Then the end I make again to the turbo and everything is perfect gehächselt small.
A minor drawback is the construction of the knife. It can be separately unscrewed and cleaned individually. All thing is topsy quite difficult to clean down. Therefore, where it forms very easily mold. But if you wash it now and in the dishwasher, and the mold is gone.
