Super Easy to Clean
I love my new mini blender. The best part is the cleaning. You don’t have to take it apart, all you need to do when you’re ready to wash it, is fill it up with warm tap water (about a cup’s worth), put a couple of drops of dish soap in it, put the cover on it, then turn on the blender for a minute or two. It’s basically self cleaning.I make my daily smoothies with this little blender and I’ve been raving about it ever since I purchased it. My daughter wanted to get one too, so my granddaughter bought her one for Christmas. She makes her daily protein and vitamin shake in it and couldn’t be happier. Just one note. This is not a heavy duty blender so it will not “pulverize” fruits. I use blueberries in my smoothie and the skins of the blueberries are cut finely, but not as well as a full size blender would do. But for simple drinks like blueberry, orange, ginger, and banana combinations this blender is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. 5 stars all around.

Great for light duty blending!
This is a small, personal blender meant for light duty blending only. It’s great when used according to the directions – my first one has lasted for five years and still is going strong. I purchased a second, new one for use in my basement kitchenette.The unit is great for quick, light smoothies made with 1/2 – 1 cup of cold to room temperature milk or other liquids, about 1/4 – 1/2 cup of cut-up soft, fresh fruits such as ripe strawberries, avocados, or bananas, a scoop of protein powder, and maybe one small ice cube to add body and froth, if desired.Pouring the liquid into the cup before adding other ingredients is key, as is using just enough liquid to accommodate the solids. Otherwise, if you add the solids first, your ingredients will get stuck in and under the blades, and your smoothie will fail.Putting ice or fruit in the blender cup before you add liquid, using too little liquid, or filling the blender cup above the 12 ounce line before blending will produce disappointing results, as will trying to force the blender to an intense blending speed.The pulse button in front is meant for just that – pulsing the mixture inside the cup in short bursts until the ingredients are well mixed – about 30 seconds. You can hold the pulse button in for 15-30 seconds according to the instructions, if you like, but the recommended pulsing action (pressing the pulse button firmly but gently several times in short bursts) works best to blend ingredients, and preserves the little motor within the base.Just steady the unit base on a counter with one hand, while pressing the pulse button with your thumb or a finger on the opposite hand, and all will be well. (Be sure that the cup is locked in, and the lid is snapped on tightly with the drinking opening closed, before you begin pulsing the button.)The lid comes off easily if you grasp it from the top with your fingers placed just under the rim connecting to the cup. Steadying the base with one hand while removing the cover slowly with the opposite hand prevents the contents from splashing out as the cover is removed.The cup fits into the base and locks in easily with a gentle twist, according to the directions. It unlocks in the opposite direction and lifts out, just as easily.Definitely read through the directions – which have good illustrations – to get the most out of this personal blender without frustration or breakage. Clean up is easy. Just rinse the lid and cup thoroughly under warm running water with a little dish soap. A small dishwashing brush can remove small debris, if needed. Let the parts air dry, or pat dry with a clean towel.This little gadget is great for producing 8-12 ounces of light shakes and other blended foods, such as cooked vegetable or fresh fruit soups, and small puddings made with tepid or cool liquids. Meats, large cubes of ice, big raw chunks of hard vegetables or fruits, and very hot or boiling liquids are not right for this personal blender.Save the heavy duty work and bigger batches for a large Cuisinart or other power blender. This personal blender cup, when used properly, serves up a nice, light, satisfying smoothie, every time.

Great price for what you get!
I like how easy if is to use and there wasnât any assembly required. It is is quiet and quick to blend your ingredients, but I would say that it requires that you push the button multiple times for short pulses (itâs not like a normal blender). If you hold the button for 5 seconds you will start to smell an ozone type odor. The blades are very sharp so the small pulses do the job but you need to remember that. You can blend strawberries without chopping them up and it makes a smoothie in about 10 seconds so I believe it is great for the price and is a quality product.

Great product at great price
Great for my daily protein shake. The cup is the perfect size and it blends really well. I bought the big box brand a while back and it started leaking everywhere. This is so much better.

Works good but lids donât last
I love the blender. It is strong and does a good job quick. However, both of the lids have developed cracks all the way around and are useless now and now the blender is useless unless I order more lids. I checked the price of lids, $2.99 each and $9.99 shipping therefore, ordering 2 lids will cost me the same as buying the blender kit all over again. SMH

Fits into my kitchen cabinets and makes a good ð«¨
Just so easy to whip up a shake in this, washes easily and is light so itâs easy to handle and you wonât drop it because it is light. And you donât have to keep it out on the counter.

Love this blender!
I’ve used it quite a few times now and it’s holding up pretty well. Obviously don’t overdo it on what you put inside because it’s not a magic bullet. However, it works very well. I mainly use it to make protein smoothies. Good if you only typically blend small amounts of things. Love the white color.You can drink straight from it as well if that’s something you find appealing. But I personally don’t do that.

low price somewhat dependable blender
I think what helps to clean this more efficiently is to wash it out with hot water immediately after finishing your drink. What I end up doing is filling it with hot water half of cup and shaking it up and down with the lid on facing downward into the sink. This minimizes splashing and you get the shaking that removes residue from the blade area. The only negative is that it will start leaking from the bottom of the cup when the gasket wears out. It’s not a huge leak but expect to dry it with a towel or paper towel after each use. For $15 from Amazon Warehouse, it’s a good deal. Definitely don’t buy it new at $20, buy something else.UPDATE: I figured out why the cup leaks from the bottom. If you constantly fill it with difficult foods to blend and jam it up, the bottom assembly will eventually shift from the normal position and pop out. You can see the teeth from the bottom where it locks in with clips, but you have to make sure those clips are in between the opening grooves. when you jam it up, the bottom shifts to those opening grooves and the entire blade unit will pop out (and cause you a leak). you can repair it yourself with automotive tool, but it’s better to avoid it by blending soft foods.

Bought it for my protein shakes and I use it daily! Now my whole family has abandoned the big blender and uses this!! The price point is amazing!! Donât think twice!!

Uso fácil, buena potencia y cumple perfectamente, al principio dudaba ya que es de corriente pero funciona muy bien para moler cualquier fruta, solo no la carguen demasiado y no prolonguen mucho el uso, tritura todo en cuestión de 4 segundos o menos, si la usas mas de eso y huele raro ya estas forzando el uso, aun asà es muy resistente.
