I ordered this product because I did not bother with a large mixer as I do every morning smoothie and I've spent some time to clean large bowl, blade, cover, glass, etc ...
I'm pretty glad I ordered the Smoothie Maker, it is easy to use even though I still have some difficulty in putting the small cup well done to clean the machine, I hope it will come in a few days. .. If cleaning is far more practical than mixer. For mixing it is best, think to put in against a liquid with fruit or the unit will struggle to mix everything.
Little flat, the manual is in Italian, but if you type in your search engine "smoothie maker leaflet in French" you will find very easily.
