I love the one piece jug. It's dishwasher safe so just throw the jug in the dishwasher upside down and it's clean. No gaskets and rings to assemble or loose.
Blades seem strong and are large enough that it grinds ice for smoothies without needing to open and redistribute the content. It seems to cope well with small loads (12-16oz) and has enough power to do the job.
The suction cup feed and weight keep it situated and the controls are straight forward. You either set the speed on the dial then use start / stop buttons. Or hold the pulse button. The motor starts slowly and ramps up to speed which seems to help it get it's teeth into whatever you have in the jug.
The on off switch is round the back which might offend some and can cause it to switch off if pushed up against the wall.
It's a nice cheerful red plastic that seems robust although I am sure the looks are not for everyone.

I purchased this item after reading a number of reviews on blogs I follow. My husband and I wanted to make great green smoothies, knew we needed a good blender to get the kale and lettuces liquid form. While our family and friends are all owners of a name brand costing $500, we decided to hold off and research first. So happy we did, and SO happy we took a gamble.Even through we are happy, there are a few complaints:
1) Although the description says "black" ours came in red. Not the biggest of issues, but I would check before ordering.
2) Entire thing is plastic. I jut assumed it was glass, but I was wrong. This make it quite light (although base has suction cups to help keep in place).
3) Pre-blending is required for greens. I tried cutting down the greens and putting directly in blender, but it didn't work. Then I put them in the food processor first, chopped the small (minced) and transferred into bender. Hello smoothie!
