Not recommend. Very disappointed.
Pro- Good quality by Cuisinart. Durabilaty is good. liked glass jar and stainless steel blade.
Con- the bottom of a jar leaked at the first time I used it, yet the exchange process was fast but inconvinent beacuse I had to go to the post office with three kids to ship the old one back. Also, it leaks side of a jar when you pour any blended drink with ice. The pitcher is very heavy.
Excellent Blender
We had a cuisinart which I liked, but it died after 3 years. This one seems solid, nice looking and very powerful. Did everything we wanted with ease (smoothies / margaritas, etc). I recommend it!
