My Vitamix has been one of my favorite kitchen appliances for the last decade- and it is such a workhorse. I was hoping the Beast would be a mini version of that, but it just isn't. It's very pretty, and I love how compact it is, but nothing compares to the Vitamix if you're expecting that. The Beast seems pretty sturdy, but it does rotate a bit on the counter when you leave it running on its 1-minute mode "unattended." It also got a bit hot after doing two smoothies, and I'm not sure why the cups have ribbed designs inside- seems weird for cleaning. It definitely does not blend as finely as the Vitamix, but it is nice for smoothies in the morning when I don't feel like lugging out the big blender. Kids love it too! TL;DR - Not the Vitamix level of blending, but good size of blender. Unsure on it's longevity.
