Very powerful but not user friendly

I bought this product for the purpose of making açaí bowls and thick smoothies. The blender is super powerful and works great. The reason why I didn't enjoy this blender is because its not user friendly whatsoever. In the description it mentions having 6 timing settings so I was thinking that I could set those myself and just push the button and it would store my time. Basically those 6 preset timers are just the time thats set on each function. For me the blender was really annoying because I was looking for something that I could pretty much just turn on and keep running for however long I wanted and increase the speed when I wanted. On this blender, each function ( juice, ice cream etc) has its own preset time and once the time is up it stops, each preset is like 2 minutes. Once it stops you have to start the whole process again. Most of the time I would use the pulse function and then I'd have to set my own time so I'd have the press the time button over and over again until I reached the time I wanted which was really annoying. This blender is also really loud and heavy. Another reason I didn't like the blender was because I always had to use the tamper, if I was making a smoothie my fruits would get stuck under the blade and I'd have to tamper around with them. I expect for the kind of money I spent on this blender to be able to put the fruits and juice in and it does everything by itself. The last reason I dislike this blender is because of the pour spot. It was so messy and never poured properly into my cup if I made a smoothie. If these things don't really bother you then this blender is perfect for you. It was super powerful and once tampered with enough, everything was blended up really well and it made great açaí bowls and smoothies, I just felt like it took too much work and time to play around with such a pricy blender.
