This blender is perfect for me with its power 1000w, while he mixes a wink. Easy to clean, without necessarily dismantles all (in fact I did not manage to take everything apart, it seems tightly!). Comes with instructions in English, but you can send Duronic in French-mail (customer service is very responsive, thank you to Nicolas). What's more, the glass bowl has more than enough capacity, all seems good quality and good finishes. I have not yet tried to crush ice and remains to be seen how he will in time but for now it's the best quality / price I found!
