horrible design

Pros: It works when I hit the button

Cons: Horrible wave-action design

I just got done using this piece of junk and am so annoyed by it's design that I'm going out of my way to review it negetively. The "wave-action" design is what makes it so bad. Yes, it helps to mix things up better....but also forc...es the liquid to shoot up toward the lid. If you want to take the lid off to add things as it is running (like everyone i know who uses a blender) it shoots the liquid mixture out and all over the counter. I've never had any other blender where i could not remove the top to add things while it was running. You've got to be able to add things (like powders) AFTER it is running or else they will stick to the sides of the inside of the blender. Horrible design. I can't wait until it breaks. Read more Less
