Frankly, it's magic. I've had two years (his third winter) and it serves every evening throughout the winter.
My only criticism is that it is quite noisy when it mixes. At the same time, blender, it's noisy also ...
Oh, and it does not go in the dishwasher. It made me grumble at first, but I took the fold run it under warm water immediately after being used, and frankly, it's nickel, ready to serve again the next day. I use it every night for 4 soup bowls for the whole family.
