I love this product. I was using a regular blender to make a protien smoothie to drink on my way to work. This is much more convenient and is more powerful than my blender. It purees ice in seconds. You shouldn't fill it just with ice. It's made to make smoothies, not just crushed ice. I am very happy with the product. Cuisinart has never failed me with any product.
I have always wanted the ease and flexibility to make my own fruit smoothies in the morning, but hate cleaning a big bulky blender that seems like it never gets totally clean (and I don't have a dish washer). This thing is perfect! I fill my "to go" cup with handfuls of berries and bananas, add a little liquid (recommend coconut water), screw on the "blender" top, flip it over into the base of the blender and hit the button: voila, instant delicious smoothie. Then you flip it back over, unscrew the blender top, rinse it in water and you are DONE. Put one of the tops on the cup and walk out the door (only suggestion: tops that are capable of being totally closed in case you ever want to throw it in a bag or something, these lids just have a big opening for drinking that doesn't shut). I literally use this every single day and love it.
