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

It's a bit smaller than I thought, but perfect for one person one meal. I can drink it from blender; I don't use the lid for drinking because it's too small. But it seals the mix in for blending. Easy clean up, excellent measures for my mix. I would highly recommend it for your workouts, your relaxing times.

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.

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.

So far I really like this blender. I can use frozen or fresh fruit and I don't have to cut it up in small pieces or anything. I just tap on the button a few seconds at first to get it to start cutting everything up or to pulse, then I hold the button down to finish the blending. Takes less than a minute. Its also easier on your blender to do it that way if your not cutting things into to pieces. It's easier on the motor and also the pieces around your cutting blades, especially if your using ice. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I'm glad I chose this one. It's the perfect size for what I was needing and the price was good at time of purchase.

Love the product. Very reasonably priced. It has a powerful motor that presents a smoothie in no time. I like the idea you don't have transfer the contents to a glass to drink

If you are looking for a very good to excellent smoother blender, then this is a very good option. It has proven to operate very well to make my smoothie any time of day. For its size it is remarkably efficient and powerful. I use milk, cottage cheese, protein powder, banana and frozen berries for a filling, easy to blend concoction.

This blender works just fine for light blending, and is quite small and lightweight. It is pretty small though- seems like less volume than other personal size blender cups, which was a surprise. The plastic also doesn't feel the most durable, but it's held up to light use (often just protein shakes with some frozen fruit added) for the last few months. The lightweight base makes it easy to take in and out of the cabinet when I need it.

Yes, you are looking for a simple, single blender for your shakes, look no further. Liquid, fruit and powder, do not over load, this is a single serve option. Within (10) minutes you can wrap your lips around your straw and enjoy you breakfast drink, quick lunch or a refreshing pick me up, you decide! Just remember it’s a single serve option and do not overload or clog the blending process. My favorite 1/2 avocado, half kiwi, or grapes, or half pear, apple juice and I’m ready for the morning!
