Query: Excellent purchase

Have used the Bosch blender for over a year now. This blender is very heavy duty and performs well. It has nice suction pads that allows it to stick to the counter without moving around. The only drawbacks I can think of is it is a little noisy when running. But the variable speed controller knob on the front works well. Also you have a reverse speed. It is a pain sometimes removing the lid. It takes alot of force to take it off and being careful not to spill any liquid if the blender is full. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
