Beast Blender with Hydration System - 1000W High-Power Countertop Blender for Smoothies, Protein Shakes & Infused Water | Premium Kitchen Appliance for Healthy Drinks (Pebble Grey) - Perfect for Home Gym, Post-Workout Recovery & Daily Hydration

I read the unhappy reviews as I waited for delivery and was apprehensive. But this blender is everything I hoped for and need!1- It blends flaxseeds!!! This is the whole reason I paid the big price for a small blender.2-It fits in my tiny house!! Very important! It has to be readily available!3-Beautiful on my counter. Not as important but nice.4-Such creamy smoothies! What a difference from my last inexpensive blender!It was beautifully packaged and has very clear instructions. There was a learning curve as it behaves differently than others, but using the shake technique to mix things and packing it in specific ways makes it work.I wish:1- It made bigger smoothies. I’d like to make 1 liter ones.2- There was a lid for each drink lid. I’d like to carry both!3- All containers were glassPeople say it’s hard to clean. It may be it you let it dry dirty, but so far not a problem. Once I drank half of the liter container in two sessions and had to clean the top with my fingers. That was easy. When fresh it rinses right off.Additional review after using it for a whileNone of the containers fit in a standard drink holder ! This is a big problem for me. Not worth returning, though.I wish the hydration bottle held a liter.Cleaning after a smoothie often requires a long handle brush.Each drink lid needs a plug top.One lid should open to drink and add a straw without removing it completely.I think that should do it. None of these are deal breakers because it works so well!
