On sale for $25 at Big Lots. I couldn't pass that up.

It's ridiculous, top heavy, and doesn't seem to be built all that well
except maybe the motor and housing. And it works.

It turned half a tray of ice cubes into powder almost instantly with no
chunks. I added a frozen banana and it handled that too; not quite as
fine but still no chunks. A spoonful of orange marmalade, a shot of 151
rum, and a generous shot of lemon juice. Blend for a few seconds and I
have sort of a frozen daiquiri.

The real test will be a smoothie made with lots of frozen hard fruit,
like peach slices or papaya chunks. And raw vegetables just to make it
difficult. Maybe tomorrow.
