slight delay with receiving due to carrier but package came in good shape. just used blender to make our evening smoothie and it was SO fast to get done compared to the one we had been using. Rather than take about 5 minutes it only took 2. Also compared to the average blender it is rather quiet which I did not expect. I would like the 'jar' part to be bigger but not too big of a deal. It is probably just the 'new' smell of it but it had a slightly odd smell come from it when first used it.
