" ... ideal for medium size blending jobs. ... "

" ... It doesn’t take up much room and the price is so much better than the full size. ... "
" ... Construction is sturdy, it takes up very little of our limited kitchen counter space, and the red color is attractive & matches our decor. ... "

" ... It broke within two uses, hard to put together, started smelling of burn and now cant return!!! ... "
" ... Grab some ear plugs and you can blend away for creamy hummus but you're better off if you just need it for quick little chops. ... "
" ... I didn’t even get to use it once and a crucial plastic part broke off where it’s supposed to push down to get the machine to process :( Would appreciate if someone from the team reaches out because I was so excited to use this and I couldn’t even use it once. ... "
" ... Also locking this thing is awkwardly positioned. ... "

" ... The screeching sound it makes is worse than nails on a chalkboard. ... "
" ... Unfortunately I have only been able to use this a couple of times since I purchased because it makes such a high-pitch sound, almost like it is screaming. ... I know food processors are not supposed to be quite but the sound is horrible. ... It doesn't sound like a lot of others have the same issue, so I may have received a faulty unit. ... "
