Pricey

This blender works just as good as it looks. I was sold by the gorgeous retro design. 1.5-litre jug, which is large enough. Dishwasher safe, but you need to rinse if you choose the self-cleaning mode. Easy to hand wash, too. No problem on crushing ice. This blender makes me feel it will last a lifetime. The downside is the price; I think it's very expensive and a little bit overpriced.
