I can't believe how easy and clean this is to use. With it's stylish design it would fit in any kitchen and takes up little room. The pro extractor blade unit screws into the top of either cup, then turn it upside down, secure onto the motor base and away you go! Press start and leave on for an average of 30 seconds and it's done. Unscrew the blade unit and the two cups supplied (500ml & 650ml) each have sip & seal lids which screw on – great to take out with you.
A small recipe book is supplied which gives tips on how to load the cup. Not only will it do smoothies & soups but marinades, batters, dips, dressings and frozen treats so I think I am going to be using this a lot! There is also a pulse button for short bursts. The cups are not designed for hot liquids so when blending soup this has to be cooled to room temperature first.
Overall I am really impressed with the blender as it's so neat, easy to clean and all the accessories are dishwasher proof. The rubber feet underneath keep it securely in place – the only negative I could give is that the lead could do with being a little longer (33 inches).
