Looking at the packaging, you may think you are getting 2 blender bases, but you only get one with the 3 mixing containers. Myself and a friend used this product for a couple days each. We both love the results.I'm a smoothie guy who hates getting pulp in my mixes. She's a juicer person. What this product achieved for both of our needs is excellent. It has a learning curve as with the three containers and the digital operator panel, it can be a little overwhelming at first...but fun. The preprogrammed control panel is wonderful. For example, I put honey into my smoothies. My two other blenders do not mix honey well as it goes to the bottom of the mixing cup and does not pick up the honey to blend. Using one of the two duo containers, you install them upside down and the blades along with the preprogrammed mixing, pushes the honey back up as it mixes. Perfect. She uses the puree feature and said she had no pulp. Carrots, cukes, spinach, berries...no pulp.
On the down side, this unit is very loud. The recipe book that came with it is sort of worthless, as it frequently wants ingredients the average home just does not stock and living in a rural area such as I do, difficult to find. The instruction booklet is very good. It was easy to set up. Amazingly easy to clean. The package also provides two drinking-pouring-storage lids for the smaller containers.
So far we love it and have used it daily.
