Better than expected
I'm very happy with this blender after 15 months.This was a replacement for our 5 year old basic Biolomix blender that was still working, but has a yellowed container and tripped it's internal circuit breaker often when grinding soaked beans.Compare to that blender, this one is:- considerably quieter, though definitely not silent.- has a better sealing top.- has a more stable jar, though I still hold it down.- added features of a timer and a blender shutoff when the jar is removed.- smoother startup on pulse and high without dimming the kitchen lights.- the base is 300g heavier (good).- the feet on the base are non-marringLike the old blender, the circuit reset button is on the bottom of the blender, though nothing I've blended in it has caused it to reset yet.In general these Chinese made 2200W blenders have been a great value for me, providing capability that exceeds anything short of a Vitamix, and matching that at a fraction of the price. We make almond smoothies, blend soaked beans and nuts into pancake and waffle batter, things that would be impossible with anything short of a Vitamix.Replacement jars (if the old one starts to look dingy or yellow) and blades (if the bearing fails) are available on Amazon for reasonable cost.Pro Tip 1: with the old Biolomix blender, if it overloaded or overheated, the internal circuit breaker triped, and then after a cool down period (10 seconds in the case of our old Biolomix) it resets with an audible click, and then you need to manually press the reset button on the bottom of the blender to start using it again. Pressing the button before the timer has expired does nothing. I assume this new blender works the same way.Pro Tip 2: The bearing on the bottom of blade can fail and start to leak, and then corrode. Don't try to replace the bearing as a new blade only costs $15-20 and comes with a new bearing. We were on our 3rd blade in 5 years.Pro Tip 3: To keep the jar looking crystal clean, wipe and dry the surfaces of the jar with a clean cloth while it's still wet to remove any film on it. If you just let it dry without wiping it down, the plastic will become cloudy after a few months, and it will be impossible to get clean like new.Update: after 15 months no problems. No breaker tripping, no blade replacement needed, everything works like new.

Wonderful blender!!
Let me start off by saying that I am so impressed with this blender!! I have made many smoothies as you can see in the pictures, and they all came out so smooth and perfect. I had the Ninja but was not impressed at the blending plower.. even with rolled oats in my smoothie, it never blended all the ingredients completely. Plus, my goodness it was so Loud I had to use it later in day than early in morning to not wake my house. I have no regrets buying this blender it’s fantastic and have no issues and been 2 months!! The cleaning is easy for me as well and have had no issues… so buy it!!

Does a good job! But really only 5 speeds, controls do not match, not continuous
I like it! Lots of good stuff about it that other reviewers have already gone over but I am annoyed that the controls do not match actual settings.I like that it has a metal gear in bottom of pitcher which is important, plastic is never going to hold up to high power blending. You do have to make sure that metal bit isn't getting wet when washing so it doesn't rust.Also there are engravings on the bottom of the pitcher that make it look like you can take it apart, but those directions are for assembly at the factory, you should not attempt to take the pitcher apart and there's really no need to.This replaced an old Vitamix that finally died. The blending power and basically everything about it is comparable to the vitamix (except the price of course!). I do prefer the the lid on this blender, and appreciate that they included that tamping stick.Also, our old Vitamix only had two speeds, and even the lowest speed would explode everything up to the lid when you started it, so I was very excited that this blender seemed to have a continuous variable speed dial instead!In reality it only has 5 different speeds, and so the dial should really only have five different positions it can click into that are clearly labeled speeds 1-5, but instead you have to fiddle with the dial until you hear it kick up to the next speed.I'm annoyed because I feel mislead, as it did factor into my decision to buy this blender, and in actually using the blender it's a bit annoying to have to use that dial to adjust into the 5 different speeds instead of just having them clearly marked. However the lowest speed is lower than the vitamix's lowest speed, and it does not kick everything up to the top when you start it, so in the end it has achieved what I wanted and I do not regret buying it.

Great blender along with terrific customer service!
This blender is a work horse. The speed and power is not disappointing. We have used other blenders and this has been the most powerful one. We did have a minor issue with the blender but when I reached out to JoyLife66, someone got back to me right away and actually kept in contact with me. Good customer service is not easy to come by nowadays. I feel they care about their products along with their customers. We have bought a second one since we like it so much.

Shockingly suprised at performance for the price!
For a machine under $100 it runs like a $200-$300 machine.The motor is not loud compared to my old Oster and Health Master blenders.I used the same day I bought it my old blender died 2 months ago.It is well built I like that the pitcher is 70 ozs.It was easy to figure out and operates without instructions.Making smoothie was quick and easy different speeds and timer.I would definitely would recommend and am happy with my purchase.Clean up was really quick and drama free.
