Update 2008.05.14:
We tried it last night with avocado smoothies and chopping up some garlic and preserved lemon to make a fish marinade and it passed quite happily. The results was a slightly chunky marinade, probably because there wasn't enough to fill the blades, confirming my theory that good blenders have conical bottoms to cause the contents to collect close to the blade.
The Amazing Chef performed quite well with the cauliflower puree that filled the capsule to three quarters full.
We even had a few cubes of ice in the avocado smoothie and it managed to crush it all, no choking or sputtering. :)
The cups/capsules are polycarbonte, I think. Microwave and dishwasher safe. A quick rinse sorted them out mostly. The screw on blades is a bit annoying though. It takes more effort than most click-on blender lids. And the sillicone seals are a bit finicky to position. Not sure how the after sales support is for things like seals etc. My mum always raves about her Prestige pressure cooker that is 35yo and she can still find seals for it!
