Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies, 24oz Travel Blender 300Watt on the Go Blender Type-C Rechargeable Personal Blender with a Travel Lid, BPA Free Bottle(Green Cap White Body)

Powerful blender with advanced features
This product is fantastic! I have a JetBlend 2, but this product has replaced it because of how big the container is and its powerful features. I like how wide the container is so that I can fit the powder that I put in for my shakes since the powder sits on top of the water until I start mixing it. You have to double-tap the top or bottom button to run it. After it runs continuously, in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction based on the button you pressed, it starts pulsing until the cycle ends, which is cool and helps mix up the liquid more. I like that after I run a cycle, it shows the current battery status so that I know when to charge it so that I don’t get stuck with no charge after putting in liquid and powder, which happened to me multiple times on my JetBlend 2. The unit will not run until you make sure to screw in the container tightly, which is excellent for safety and to make sure it doesn’t start leaking.It still takes some effort to clean this since it has silicone washers to seal the blender, but it’s pretty easy to remove with a small bottle cleaner wand to get in between the washer and the edge.

Powerful motor for its size
I doubted the power of the motor on this portable blender due to past experience with similar products but this blender is pretty powerful for its size. I use it to make my breakfast smoothies and protein shakes and it processed everything I threw at it. Operation is very simple since it just has 2 buttons and charging it is a breeze with the supplied USB cable. I have not tried it with frozen fruit as it can possibly damage the unit but it works perfect with fresh fruit such as strawberry, bananas, mangos, protein powder. Cleaning it is very easy and the supplied lid makes this easy to take on the go. This unit really does work as described and its a nice to have if you need it for work or to take your shakes to the gym.

Dieser Smothie Maker ist praktikabel, stylisch und hervorragend konzipiert.Das Fassungsvermögen von 700 ml ist beachtlich. Nach dem erfolgreichem Aufladen per USB-Kabel leuchtet am Standfuß ein grünes Licht. Per zweimaligem Knopfdruck kann man entweder den Smothie rechts (oberer Knopf) oder links herum zerkleinernd (unterer Knopf) zubereiten.Um den Standfuß mit enthaltenem Motor und rotierenden Messern sauber abdrehen zu können, stellt man die Smoothiflasche einfach auf den Kopf und kann statt des Standfußes einen weißen Schraubdeckel an die Smoothieflasch anschrauben.Sehr gut durchdacht ist das Flaschendesign, denn auf dem schräg angeordneten Trinkverschluß kann die Flasche tatsächlich zum Wechseln des Bodens verkehrt herum aufgestellt werden.Um zu verhindern, dass man die Flasche fälschlicherweise ohne sie umzudrehen vom Motor abschraubt, (wodurch der Smoothie verloren ginge) leuchtet am motorisierten Standfuß das roten Licht.Der Mixvorgang umfasst eine lange Einheit in gewünschter Drehrichtung am Anfang und am Ende und sieben kurze Mixturen. Das Ergebnis ist ordentlich.Zu loben sind neben dem guten Material (BPA-freier Kunstsoff) das schöne Design der Flasche mit praktischer Silikontrageschlaufe und der gut durchdachte, sichere Verschlußmechanismus mit Schraubverschluß und zusätzlicher Klappe.Mitgeliefert wir ein schön breiter Silikon-Trinkhalm passender Länge und mit angenehmem Knick oben, dazu ein Reinigungsbürstchen, und ein Schwämmchenreiniger für die Messerklingen.Die Flasche selber haben wir, da nicht ausdrücklich in der Anleitung untersagt, erfolgreich in der Spülmaschiene gereinigt. Die Qualität der verwendeten Materialien lässt dies zu.Ein sehr guter tragbarer Mixer, bei dem an alles gedacht wurde.

This product arrived the next day via Amazon Prime and was packaged in a cardboard retail box.PROS-First of all, this product makes surprisingly good smoothies. I am not sure if it is because of its power or the bi-directional blades, but I have made some pretty thick smoothies with kale and spinach, as well as seeds such chia and flax and the results are smoothe.-Small and compact; I have a full size and a mini blender and this item easily performs as my smaller one despite being half its size.-Although hand-wash only, the base detaches and it is remarkably easy to clean this out due to its small size; I recommend cleaning it as soon as possible since you cannot soak or submerge for a long period of time to loosen up caked on residue.-An excellent option if travelling and the compact size and wireless operation allows for smoothie making away from home without the need of a traditional blender.-Easier storage, takes up much less room than even a compact countertop blender.-The asking price of $55 CAD is not unreasonable given the great results.-Not a terrible idea if new to smoothies and wanting to test the waters with blended drinks.CONS-While this is small and portable, it is big enough that I would not want to lug this around with me on a day to day basis to make smoothies on the go. If you are looking for a way to simply enjoy smoothies and mix thicker drinks throughout the day, consider making your smoothies at home and simply using a product like a Vortex shake bottle throughout the day (an excellent product btw).-This is a smaller blender intended for individual drinks and preparing batches would take a lot of time. I also would probably not want to use this on a daily basis when at home as I would personally much prefer to use my Vitamix.-The battery life is not particularly good and even worse, it takes a long time to fully recharge. I would personally not leave this plugged in all the time to preserver the battery life, but it would be annoying to want to use this item only to run into the problem that the batteries. You cannot use this as a wired blender as the charging process prevents operation. I really wish that this had a quick charge option (e.g. 10 minute charge provides a 25% recharge)-I really wish this was machine washable as the detachable part could conveniently be tossed in with the daily dishes.-I wish this came in other colour options although luckily I like this shade of green.
