In terms of features it has one other, and that it does the job and does it well. It is easy to use and works very easily.
Ease of use
This blender is as simple to use as they come, there is a single large button that is on the top of the main unit that is placed on top of the lid, push down on the large red button and the blender powers up. Let go and it stops. The motor will only work when it is placed on top of the blender lid.
To use just put your ingredients in the bowl with the removable stainless chopping blade, cover with the chopping lid and rest the control above. Just give the red button a short sharp burst to pulse or hold it down longer for more thorough blitzing and mixing.
