Great for making protein shakes, blends ice very well too! January 6, 2009

This blender works unbelievably well for the price - blends ice easily and includes a slot to wrap up the cord and stores easily.
Great blender but no lid! January 3, 2009

I ordered 2 of these from amazon and both arrived without the lid. So i returned them. I have another one at home and they work great. But needs a lid.

It just isn't possible that this flimsy, cheap little blender could be so miracuooulsy awesome. It whips up shakes made with ice with ease and quickly and relatively quietly. Then you just drink it out of the container - less mess, less waste, less clean up and more shake. I still can't figure out how it blends ice so well, just ingenious I guess. It's under 14 buckes at many stores, the price has varied wildly the last couple of days here on Amazon.
Great design, go easy on the motor, though December 27, 2008

I got this for my 17 year old son to make smoothies. He made the most delicious peach smoothie from ice and the Big Train Fruit Tea Smoothie Blast syrup also bought on Amazon. The consistency was smooth and perfect, just like a professional frozen drink. I asked him to make me one. On the second smoothie the motor died. We thought maybe it needed a little "rest" but sadly, it was the end of the road for that blender. When pressed for details, my son admitted that he noticed a burning smell before the motor stopped dead, and yet he kept pressing that button! Bottom line: great design, lightweight, nice personal cup size, easy storage and cleanup. The motor is just not very powerful, and can't take long blending times. Still, we are going to order a replacement and see if a bit more TLC while blending gives this blender better shelf life. Seems like it worked for some of the other reviewers.
Update: we got the new blender and it is working out great. You just have to be careful to pulse the blender as you go along, and stop for a few seconds (10?) if you start to smell the motor smell. Ice is blended into drinks very well, with no big chunks. The only downside is the no dishwasher requirement. I feel pretty tempted to try it, but as this is already the second blender I will resist.
Nice Blender December 24, 2008
This is a nice blender. It is perfect for a single serving protein drink. And the price is right
