Heavy-Duty Personal Blender for Shakes and Smoothies with a 15 Oz Travel Cup and Lid, Juices, Baby Food, Portable Blender & Food Processor, Red

After buying and returning two other, more expensive rechargeable brands, I decided to take a chance on this corded one. I'm both glad and sorry I did. I'm glad that it works beyond my expectations; easily producing excellent smoothies. I'm sorry because I didn't buy the slightly more expensive version that comes with an extra travel cup. The downside of using the blender cup for travel is that I'm lugging around the bottom part containing the blades that's permanently attached. Not only does this make it more difficult to drink every drop, it creates a cleaning problem. The instructions say to clean the cup ASAP after use by adding a little watter and dish soap and running the blender a few seconds, then rinse. But when on the go, I have neither the motor base nor any dish soap. The solution was easy enough, I guess. I just pour the smoothie into a travel mug so I can clean the blender immediately after use. This is probably a better solution, as the travel cup that comes with the more expensive version appears to be uninsulated. While that solution is easy enough, be advised there is no way to actually get to the blades, as they are part of the permanent base of the cup. That cost a star, as I'm worried something might damage one of the four blades or get stuck on one, like a nut, for example. Also, the instructions say to add no more than four, one inch square ice cubes. I actually had to buy a dollar store cheapie ice tray just to make chilled smoothies using some of the 10 recipes the excellent manual has in the back. The manual, by the way, is well illustrated and in English, not a translation. The manual lists the manufacturer with a CA address, but one reason I decided to try this blender is because the name suggests it is a German company. The manual confirms this, because the U in the name on the cover has the two dots above it as is common in German. Would I buy this again? Probably not. This was my first experience making or even drinking smoothies. I didn't realise that smoothies tend to contain a lot of foam, so I'm out of smoothie before I'm satisfied. My next one will be at least a 24 ounce one. But for the price, and as long as you don't want a big gulp size smoothie, this inexpensive blender is a gem.

This little powerhouse handles both fresh and frozen ingredients like a champ. I’ve been whipping up smoothies packed with greens and fruits in no time, which makes my breakfast feel like a treat rather than a chore. One of my favorite features has to be the portable blending jar. It’s so convenient! I can blend my drink straight into the jar and toss on the custom drinking lid—no extra cup necessary. And since it’s made from food-grade, non-toxic material, I feel good about what I'm sipping. Plus, it holds up to 2 cups, which is more than enough to keep me satisfied without having leftovers. The one-touch power blending is another highlight. I love that it’s simple enough for anyone to use. With just a press of a button, I can make smoothies, sauces, or even baby food without the hassle of complicated settings. The four stainless steel blades are super sharp and do a fantastic job of pulverizing everything quickly, which means smooth consistency every time.

This is a very nice and well built mixer. It does a great job and is very easy clean up. I highly recommend!

I didn't give this 5 stars for 3 flaws I believe it has 1) if used consistently regularly (1/2 times a day) eventually the lid begins not to seal/sit properly. 2) there is no way to completely disassemble for a thorough cleaning 3) Ive checked several places ( Including the manufacturer'a website) and you don't seem to be able to buy additional/replacement cups without replacing the entire assembly. Great tool if you want to see if you'll use it, at a good price point! I have gotten more than my monies worth out of it. But, not necessarily for long-term everyday use.

it was a gift, and they are very happy with this Blender!

Iove this

This is a great little blender for a cup to a cup and a half for making just a quick smoothie however, you cannot use ice. It will not crush the ice cubes entirely.

but it's a bit of a drag to clean out the cutter blades. kinda tight on the bottom hard to reach the bottom side of the blades and the cup. cant run it non stop more like pulsating it feels like getting hot since it does not having bearings only bushings. one of the wires of the switch came off so i ended up taking it apart and solder the wire back on. i got it running again. if someone does not now how to do this kind of repair then it probably will get tossed out

I love it! I wasn’t sure because I had a bullet unit for along time! But it’s value $ and gutsy performance was a nice surprise! I would recommend it! ( tip) before first use after washing / lines by measurement area) HAVE to be lined up before it will pulse!!! Don’t think, that’s it’s NOT working!) Enjoy! 😎

This blender was smoking from the air vent and left black marks all over my kitchen bench. It was faulty after arriving really late. The electrical outlet points are not Australian standard either.

Defectuosa la Base de las Cuchillas pues es Plástico y no dura. La tenía guardada y la comencé a usar ni un mes de uso duro y No diario

Súper práctico

It’s exactly as described and for me with an 18-inch kitchen counter, it is ideal. I use it ever day and have enjoyed tremendously so far. I make sure to wash it immediately after use using warm not hot soapy water and dry it right away. It has stayed “new” that way. I have used milk, a little ice cream, lots of cut-up fresh fruit, yogurt, etc and whiz it around for just a few seconds and it is perfect. I just love it and I would highly recommend it for preparing one portion at a time.
