Use it all the time

So I am an avid at home smoothie maker and this isn’t for me. It’s too small to make a single serving, I had to blend a few different patches just to fill one of my bottles.I tried it with fresh frozen pineapple, one mini cucumber and spinach all with just coconut water. The leaf it was okay, wasn’t a fine blending but it was small enough to go through a straw. The cucumber was fighting hard. It was a challenge to say the least. I finally blended with a lot of shaking but shouldn’t have to be so hard. Now the pineapple, it was freshly frozen for 2 days before being blend, but same as the cucumber needed a lot of shaking, a lot of force and it only held a few small pieces at a time.It also killed the battery after making just one smoothie.Now if you are someone who enjoys protein drinks or pre-workouts and don’t want to use a shaker bottle this would work for you. It’s probably the only way I’ll be using it for now on.So it isn’t bad but it isn’t great either.

This is a fantastic little blender for folks on the go, I love the size and power of this unit, I like making fruit smoothies with it, and it does the job in quick order. It's very easy to use and clean. Will pretty much blend anything that you throw at it. Its rechargeable with the included USB-C cord and comes with a cleaning brush and a mini-ice cube tray. Very Nice.

This to go blender that can be charged with a type c cable and brought with you wherever you go is one of my favorites and I use it daily. I love that I can bring this anywhere because I'm rarely home. It stylish and modern and easy to clean. It even comes with a little mini ice cube tray for your smoothies

Item was shipped in a box with other products, the blender packaging itself was quite nice and of nice quality and protection for the product.When I receive a new product, I always read the instructions on how to operate because I don't want to break or ruin a product becuase I "thought" I knew how to operate it. With that said, I pulled out the instruction sheet from the box and the print was so small I couldn't read it no matter how hard I tried. So, I figured it can't be much more than push the button, but no that didn't work. Then finally I saw on the clear plastic that you have to push the button twice to start blending and once to stop.There are some sort of tools/devices that I have no idea what they are for, and the print is too small for me to read and didn't see a picture or anything to indicate what they are for, so they will be useless to me.When I finally saw embossed in the plastic to press twice to start blending and pushed twice, I was very impressed with the power of the blender! However, after getting a magnifying glass to see parts of the instructions, the first step is to add 60% water first, so I suggest if you want to use this for ice based blended cocktails to use shaved ice instead of cubes to make your alcoholic smoothie :-)Besides the frustration I had with the instructions being so small (hence the 3 stars for easy to use), everything else with this portable blender was of good quality and give it a solid 4 stars.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a handy little blender. I use it for mixing up my protein shakes. I do not drink directly from the blender but pour it into a glass. If you are using fruit (fresh or frozen) make sure the pieces are small. This blender can’t handle big ones. The instructions say 1.5 cm square which is a little over ½ inch. You double tap the power button to start blending. The first time, it’s a little startling when you’re holding it – make sure you don’t drop it. As it blends, you can tilt it side to side. It also can be started upside down then turned right side up once it’s running. This is especially good when blending fruit, so it doesn’t get stuck in the blades.It came with a silicone “ice cube” tray for tiny ice cubes (less than ½”). I assume they will work better in this blender, although it’s not mentioned at all in the description or the instructions. It also came with what I assume to be a cleaning tool and handle (they come separated – you need to put them together) but I haven’t needed to use it. The bottle can be cleaned by filling it 1/3 to ½ full with warm/hot tap water, adding a drop (just 1 drop) of dish soap, and running the blend cycle. It can then be rinsed out and put in the drainer to dry. Just don’t immerse the base in water.This is a rechargeable unit, so you’ll need to charge it up before first use. All of the lights on the front will light up when it is fully charged. The USB-C charging port on the front comes with a rubber cover so that the port doesn’t get wet. It is a little tricky to get to stay in place, but once it closes, it works just fine.If you push the power button just once, it will light up to show you the level of charge available. I ran a wash cycle, blended my shake, and then another wash cycle and all 4 lights still light up. If you use this just once a day, you can probably get a week or more out of one charge.

I really wanted to love this, but frankly, it doesn't have much power. I use it to blend smoothies using almond milk, protein powder, frozen fruit and ice. This blender stops blending after only a couple of seconds, even though the fruit is cut small and it never completely crushes the ice, even if its already small cubes. It just takes a long time to make a smoothie because I have to start and stop over and over. Also, it's recommended that you use a drop of dish soap and water to clean it, but you can't always get the upper edge, under the top lip if the bottle clean that way, so I end up washing it by hand anyway. Not sure if a brand name blender that looks just like this one is better, but I am hoping to get one and try it out!

The only thing I didn't care about this product was that the fruit has to be cut super small in order for it to blend correctly. Along with the Battery power which drains fairly quick. Don't get me wrong, it works great if it a one drink wonder. But for a family well its not designed for that, just a single or 2 drinks only.
