This machine is AAAA-MA-ZING and everything that I’ve been searching for. I love juicing but didnt want to bother w/the mess that juicers can make. My kid loves smoothies and my mom loves soups! This machine does it ALL!! My first blend was coconut water, kale, spinach, cucumber, frozen avocado, apple, strawberry and banana. I blended just enough for my kid who prefers the smoothie texture. My kid does not like BANANAS or AVOCADO but loved this and finished it all!!! I placed the remaining ingredients back on the powerful base for the pureed texture that I like!!! This machine is EXTREMELY powerful and would take off if it had wheels lol!. I was a bit intimidating at first. I can honestly say it’s so simple to use and super easy to clean, even for beginners. I reccomend rinsing the container and or using the self cleaning mode immediately after blending for an easier clean. In other words, don’t let ingredients settle on the blades before rinsing/ cleaning. It was worth every penny and is a great addition to any kitchen!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
