Good blender but power is limited. Too much weight and the automatic safety switch turns off to prevent motor from pulling to much power or something. It's probably good to chop light veggies, but for what I needed, i need a blender that can chop meat, veggies and some spices all together with heavy volume. About only 1.5lb of meat and veggies it shuts off too often. I'll keep it if I need to make ice cream or chop some onions.
