Yeah I know it's just a blender but this thing is twice as big and four times as powerful as the 20 year old Osterizer we've been using for the past...err...20 years. This thing powered through a pile of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas and 2 cups of ice cubes in about 30 seconds. The drink was smoother than old machine could make if I left it on for 10 minutes, and no stirring necessary. I swear, this thing could grind up a pile of nuts and bolts if you asked it to.
