5.0 out of 5 stars Great Personal Blender, June 10, 2005

Awesome. I checked out several reviews and blenders and didn't know what to get. I just wanted a blender that would crush ice and frozen fruit really well without a mess, no leaks, and EASY to clean. This blender is PERFECT. I put in a cup of skim milk and then add frozen and/or fresh fruit and top off with a 1/2 cup of crushed ice. It is ready in 30 seconds! And it blends wonderfully! I don't use big ice cubes though, but it blends the crushed cubes and the frozen fruit like a breeze. I even add wheat germ and peanut butter, no problem! It has it's own cup which you mix the ingredients and when your done mixing you take it off the blender, flip it over, untwist the top and drink right out of the cup! It even has a drinking lid with a snap top. ALL you clean is the blade and when finished with the cup, clean that. TOTALLY easy and hassle free! In my life I need quick cleaning, and major convience... I make the smoothie, put the top on with a straw and go off to the pool with it. GREAT product! Also, its small enough to take with you on trips and doesn't take up counter space. Great for an apartment too!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a convenient little blender, January 25, 2006

I bought this little blender at Costo after tasting a smootie during a demonstration and I needed a blender, so I got this one because it was just the right size for me.

I find it very convenient as the container become the drinking mug with an handle and storing cover. very practical. the size is just right for one or 2 persons. It works so well with frozen fruits and blend perfectly and quickly. It is not too noisy and it is small so it is easy to store on a counter top.

The kit that I got came with 2 mugs but I understand not all packages have the 2 mugs as some kits come with only one mug. Mugs can be bought separatly though. I mention that so if you buy online it is best to verify if you want the kit with 2 mugs.

The blender is very easy to use and fast to clean. Is is also safe and mess free to use. At first I thought that the hole in the cover was not aligned properly as it is on the side rather than on the opposite side of the handle (in front), but this makes it easier to drink directly from the mug when you take it to go, of course that is if you are right handed! If you wish to hold the mug with your left hand and drink from it, you will have a bit of a problem and I would suggest using a straw. The cover is air tight and once closed it will not leak. very convenient for carrying.

FOLLOWUP:

After over 6 months of using that product a few times a week, it still work like new. We have 2 of them and both are working very well after all that time. I am impressed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great personal-sized blender!, May 16, 2005

By 

flipoid (South Georgia) - See all my reviews

I bought this yesterday, and I love it. Mixed milkshakes with ease, and really frothed up my chocolate milk at lunch today. Easy to clean, does not leak, chops ice well, and there's a travel lid to take the place of the blades when you're done blending. My only complaint is that the manufacturer didn't design the travel lid so that the opening you sip from would line up properly so you can hold the mug by the handle and drink. It's kind of hard to explain; too bad I can't draw what I mean! (-: Otherwise I would have given this blender 5 stars.
