The Smoothie Maker is just great! I have the beginning of the year, quite typical, made to eat healthier and thought as a device helping a process of greater amounts of healthy fruits and vegetables throughout the day to eat. After one month test run, I am absolutely thrilled, I drink every morning a smoothie and then make me a smoothie even for the day ahead. I was almost a bit surprised that the device also crushed nuts. So my conclusion, value, Top!
