It is worth having if you need it. But my husband offered to het me the ones with the bigger individual smoothie cups. So this blender is working, the individual smoothie button is finicky, you have to push around the large button and push continuously hard on the right spot, the lid has to be on very tight but I would have kept using it every day. The individual smoothie blade is new and was bought separately. The food processor works great but just wash the food holding part right away so you don't submerge the bottom in water. And whatever you do dont wash it in the dish washer!!!! If you can handle that. Then this one's for you. I took a picture of the bottom of the blender and the ai generated the following description.
