Deciding on a blender can be over complicated, this blender is a simple and functional blender. The blending jar is made of glass and the included travel jar is plastic. Overall quality of this package is very good! The blender jar fits securely in the base and surprisingly easy to match up, making it simple and quick to start blending.

Blending options are easy to read and help you reach your desired consistency when blending. As for power, it is more then enough to make a thick smoothie. If you are looking for a great blender at an even greater price point, this is the blender for you.

Love this item wish the smoothie jar was glass but over all great deal

I did a lot of shopping around and reading reviews before completing this purchase and I must say I am glad I did! It does not disappoint. With a real glass container and metal blades the core unit is ideal to sustain the test of time. When you add in the bonus portable container its a win win!

I am really happy with my purchase. The blender is the perfect size for what I need. It cleans very easily and blends and purées like a dream. Five stars definitely.

Only had this blender for two weeks and I haven't stop using it. It mixes everything well for the frozen drinks the wife and I like. It mixes smoothies great as well.

I used the blender once. After putting the smoothie ingredients in it, I spent 5 minutes trying to get the lid on. It blended well. But I couldn't remove the lid! A friend came by this afternoon and after much struggle, he finally got the lid off. I had him put it on %26 remove it several times, but its still very difficult. After sitting dirty 24 hours, I now have it soaking in hot soapy water. I'm still not sure I can use it if I can't remove the lid!!

The lid which fits on very tightly has a very tiny opening on the top for adding additional ingredients. As a result I have to place all my fruits and spinach in the blender before starting it up. It just can't pull everything into the blades without my opening the small top piece and using a butter knife to push ingredients down to get things going. It does blend well once everything has a chance to move around.

nice promo with a travel jar as a plus... as far i would need some more time to know how capable is to crush ice and keep the power so, let wait for a while to give another star

It took several minutes to get the lid on the jar. It blended well. But I cannot get the lid off. Can't get anyone on phone so sent message. I don't want to wash it when it's sticky %26 nasty. I may have to return it. If lid won't come off after 1st use, it mostly likely wont come off with the next use either. Sad.

it stopped working after 3 uses
