Best purchase ever. Thanks to this device I started eating again healthier and "taught" learn to cook on via from taste. A simple blender, but it takes cooking and preparing food to a whole other level. It cooks, blends and cleans itself...I use it every day. I even just bought it as a gift for my sister :) The appliance is very intuitive and well described. I haven't used anything else so willingly as this Blender.
