I’ve always struggled to get my protein shakes smooth when hand mixing, and I dislike using the metal balls in plastic shakers. I purchased this blender specifically to mix my protein powders and peanut butter, and it performs beautifully for that purpose. While it’s not as powerful as a full-sized blender, it can quickly chop red peppers as well. Plus, cleaning it is a breeze.

I highly recommend it for making simple smoothies with milk, fruits, and protein. The instructions advise against blending solids or hard items like cookies or meat. It comes with two cups and is very easy to clean.

I’ve purchased this little blender three times over the past 20 years. The first one I got at Canadian Tire for $12.99 during a sale. I used it almost daily and really put it through its paces, even blending ice for my smoothies. It lasted about six years before I finally wore it out. My second one was from eBay for $17.99, and it also met the same fate—eventually, the glue holding the blades gave out, causing a messy spill all over my counter. I can laugh about it now, but at the time, I was pretty frustrated! I recommend placing it on a round plastic surface, like a plate, just in case.
Now I have my third one, which is a lovely red that matches my microwave and kettle. It was a bit pricier, but totally worth it! So far, it’s working great, and I believe the extra cost is justified. I absolutely love these blenders—they save me from spending money on expensive smoothies where I can’t control the ingredients. I skip the sugar and prefer to make my own. I keep it simple: just plain kefir, some frozen fruit, and plenty of water, and I’m all set. Good luck!

This blender is fantastic for making single-serve smoothies. It’s powerful, compact, lightweight, and super simple to operate. It crushes ice quickly and blends ingredients really well. While it can be a bit noisy, it’s not overly bothersome. However, I was not impressed with the portable cup; the lid doesn’t secure properly, and it’s somewhat awkward to fit in a vehicle cup holder. I usually transfer my smoothie to a different cup for convenience. Cleanup is a breeze, and the unit is small enough to fit easily in a cupboard. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars!

This compact personal blender is designed for light blending tasks, and it excels when used as directed. My first one lasted five years and is still going strong, so I bought a second one for my basement kitchenette.
It’s perfect for quick smoothies using 1/2 to 1 cup of cold or room temperature liquids, along with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of soft, fresh fruits like ripe strawberries, bananas, or avocados, a scoop of protein powder, and perhaps a small ice cube for added texture. Key to success is pouring the liquid into the cup before adding solids; otherwise, you risk having ingredients get stuck under the blades, which can ruin your smoothie.
Avoid adding ice or fruit before the liquid, using insufficient liquid, or overfilling the blender cup beyond the 12-ounce line. Attempting to blend at high speeds can also yield disappointing results. The pulse button is meant for short bursts to mix ingredients effectively—about 30 seconds works best. You can hold the button down for up to 30 seconds, but gentle, intermittent pressing preserves the motor’s longevity.
To operate, steady the base with one hand while using your thumb or finger to press the pulse button. Ensure the cup is securely locked and the lid is tightly sealed before blending. The lid can be removed easily by grasping it from the top, and steadying the base while doing so prevents spills.
The cup locks into the base with a gentle twist and releases just as easily in the opposite direction. Be sure to read through the well-illustrated directions for optimal use and to avoid frustration or damage. Cleanup is straightforward—simply rinse the lid and cup under warm water with a bit of dish soap. A small dish brush can help with stubborn debris. Allow the parts to air dry or pat them dry with a towel.
This little gadget is fantastic for whipping up 8-12 ounces of light shakes, blended soups, or small puddings made with cool liquids. However, it’s not suitable for heavy-duty tasks like blending meats, large ice chunks, hard vegetables, or hot liquids. Save those jobs for a more powerful blender. When used correctly, this personal blender consistently delivers delicious, satisfying smoothies.

I’ve noticed that 98% of the complaints about this product stem from incorrect usage. I really wish I could reach out to those reviewers! For starters, many said the cup wouldn’t stay in the base for blending. You have to TURN it and LOCK it into place! There’s a clear lock and unlock indicator on the bottom of the cup—set it to unlock, then turn it to lock. Another common issue mentioned was that the lid just sits on top, causing leaks. That’s not true! The lid fits snugly, maybe even a bit too snug, making it a challenge to get on. But once it’s on, it’s secure and won’t leak.
Most importantly, YOU MUST ADD LIQUID TO BLEND! You can’t just toss in fruits or vegetables and expect it to work without any liquid. This is a smoothie maker, not a vegetable chopper. There’s a minimum liquid marker at the bottom, and you need to start with at least that amount—and likely more! Blend in stages; don’t fill it to the brim and expect results. I added almond milk and frozen bananas first, blended, then added the rest of my frozen fruit and more liquid. Sometimes you’ll need to stir it a bit or, if the lid is secured properly while blending, tilt it side to side to move the ingredients around. This blender is designed for short bursts of blending. I read one review where someone ran theirs for 10-15 minutes and wondered why it started smelling funny. You can’t run this little machine for that long—it’s not built for it!
This is an excellent smoothie maker if used correctly. I even bought a second one after losing my first. Just remember, it won’t work for chopping fruits and vegetables without liquid, so if that’s what you need, look for a chopper. But for smoothies, iced coffee, soups, or similar, I highly recommend this product!
