Mine never worked quite right for my green smoothies so I returned it; glad you like it though!

Yeah, mine also made chunkies instead of smoothies. But I had the low-end model.

it got five star reviews and was on sale.  I figure if it can handle carrots and ice we're good!

Consumer reports rated it higher than the vitamix.  I think the lower price earned it that mark, while they said it worked just as well as the vitamix.

Ah, that's the pro version, 3x what I paid for mine. Must be a lot better.
