I require a lot out of my blender, and this blender by JAWZ doesn't disappoint! This has a variable speed control dial that includes 10 settings to really customize how you want to blend. I was really looking for a blender with this type of amenity because I like to make everything from green smoothies to oat/nut milks and this variable speed dial makes it easy to powerfully make most anything. I love that this makes my oat/nut milks super creamy and perfect. This blender is super sturdy, and even though it is a bit heavy, I enjoy knowing that this appliance is built well, with enough heft to keep it standing, even when blending super thick ingredients/recipes. I can't get over the power that this blender has and how smoothly it works! It even comes with a recipe book that has very easy and delicious recipes in it. And when you're all done blending, it's a cinch to clean. This is a little on the loud side, but this is to be expected with the high quality blending it does. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a high quality blender with tons of power!
