I have this blender and loved it for a long time. But I unfortunately realized that the blade design wasn't very good. Water gets trapped inside and...let's just say stuff was growing in there and I only found out because of the smell caused by the motor heating it up when in use. So while I love it this is one design flaw potential buyers should be aware of. Ended up getting a $30 blender from target that is able to be taken apart and cleaner properly.
The best blender is the kind on a stick that I can put directly into a pot of hot soup or salsa. I gave up on regular blenders years ago. I'll stick with my immersion blender.
@@doloreskrisky1670 notice he didn't answer lol.. because you'd need a 800w stick blender that splashes everywhere to evenly blend this kind of stuff My earlier joke aside this really does look like an excellent chef blender.. then bring out the old 1980s Oyster blender for drinks =p
@AmericasTestKitchen I think some of us aren't getting a name in the description. There's not one listed in the description I see or in the video, unless you have a magnifying glass to read "Beast" on the bottom of the unit featured. FYI.
Wait till she finds out that almost all blenders can have a mason jar mounted to them for that “wide and narrow” effect. I swear the more notifications I get the worse the tester is actually testing. Do better
