4.0 out of 5 stars This blender is cool., March 6, 2007

Ari "Ari" (ny, usa) - See all my reviews

I bought this blender to take on the road with me and ended up using it mostly at home. It blends up my fruits and veges when I feel like making raw vegan soups or sauces. I love that I don't have to plug it in and find it easy to clean and use. There are 2 different crank options, one for heavy duty blending and one for mild. Obviously you provide the muscle but not much is needed. You will need to keep it steady (it does come with a mediocre clamp) and it takes a little getting used to but I'm quite happy with this unit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient, sturdy, compact, July 30, 2009

John Harrison (Ohio) - See all my reviews

Each summer we spend several weeks in the mountains, away from electricity. The Vortex makes delicious morning fruit smoothies possible. Not only possible, quick and easy.

GOOD
It works as advertised. It's sturdy. The bottom stores in the top, so it's compact. Cleanup is quick. Never runs out of batteries.

LESS THAN GOOD
It must be clamped to something strong and stable--which rules out anything in our camper. So it's out into the cold each AM to clamp the Vortex to a camp table and grind away.

Does not blend as thoroughly as the Coleman battery powered blender (but doesn't run battery dead in 2 days either).

Not strong enough to break up ice cubes.

BAD
Nothing.

We love our Vortex Blender. It is great for the beach, picnics, backyard parties etc.. It works great. Just make sure you put the liquid in before the ice and it works perfect!
