Title: not what I had in mind
Product review: I purchased this blender based on the Cook's Illustrated recommendation. While it does a good enough job at tasks requiring high speed and lots of power, I really wish I'd purchased a blender with a wide range of speeds, especially slower speeds. While it might do a good job with ice or a smoothie, both of the two speeds available on this blender are faster that what I typically like to use with my food. This blender tends to obliterate things like chutneys and pesto rather than make a nice, smooth blend. And I just don't like the idea of processing soups, etc. with such force. There is also a strong ozone odor in the air since the motor is so powerful. And it is so loud that I have to cover my ears when I use it in my ceramic tiled kitchen.My old blender could be set at very slow speeds, allowing you to turn up the speed just to the lowest level needed to get the job done. I think I'll sell this blender and purchase one with more speed options instead.
