I ordered in a hurry to replace my quality blender that needs replacement parts. I wasn't looking for a high-end experience - just something to get me through for a week or so of smoothies until parts came in. DO NOT BUY THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Good reviews? Nah. Look at 'em again. They all say pretty much the same thing with the same words and use the same video. This blender smokes more than my grandpa who put away 2 packs a day - LITERALLY SMOKES, AS IN... READY TO START A FIRE. It overheats after 60 seconds of blending a handful of ice, some strawberries and a banana. After 2 uses, the bottom of the blender has come loose, leaking liquid into the motor unit. After 2 cycles of blending, trying to avoid overheating, basic smoothie ingredients are left chunky, ice is very coarse and powder is not incorporated. I could not imagine a more poorly-functioning machine. People had to TRY to make a blender this bad. It could not have happened on accident. This is the prank-show equivalent of a kitchen appliance.

 Strong power and the juicy is very smooth. I put the watermelon chunks until the 85%(it may be too much and I think 75% will be the perfect) of the capacity and add a little bid water to make this going perfect(I think milk or cream works too). Then I gently tilted the machine so the upper chunks went down. Perfect watermelon juice. I added some ice cube to make watermelon smoothie. I turn it to the “2” level and stay for few seconds. The ice are creamy drink profile. This machine is the only one satisfied me in the budget. I will recommend this.
