Brevile's Super Q Blender is just fantastic! For the last several weeks, I've been making smoothies, milkshakes, protein shakes, and slushies practically every day since getting the machine. This blender doesn't appear to be phased by anything. Instantly breaks down ice crystals. My blending is flawless, with no lumps or chunks. Because it comes with a smaller cup, I'm able to combine my drink directly in the cup and take it with me everywhere I go. For our nighttime get-togethers with friends and breakfast smoothies, margaritas, and blended beverages will all be on the menu when summer arrives.
