Portable Blender for Shakes and Smoothies, 14 Oz BPA Free Travel Cup & Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades, Personal Smoothie Blender, Raspberry, 51131G

This is a super little blender. It does a good job of mixing up soft smoothies. Meaning those kind of smoothies with mostly soft and easy to blend up ingredients. It can take crushed ice and make it smaller but it has a rough time with full size ice cubes. The driving force for the blades is plastic and be aware that it will eventually break under heavy usage. I like this little blender just because it's so easily portable and lightweight. You can mix something up real easy do a quick rinse and then throw a little extra water and soap inside and blend that and rinse it again and it's completely clean! I got a second one as a gift for a friend's birthday because she liked mine so much. Again, don't expect this to be a Workhorse! I have one of the big brand names that begins with the letter n and that has a super duper motor and Metal drive train type deal and that thing will last forever. But for convenience and quick and easy to use, I reach for this little Hamilton Beach blender each and every time.

ooooh how I LOVE this blender! I use it for my protein shakes and I'm wondering how I drank the shakes before this blender. i love how portable it is, i don't use a ton of ice cubes but start w/pulse to crush them and it works out great. "ice crushing" Also I love the color, it makes me feel fancy. Great price as well.

It does not blend ice very well (I almost choked on an ice cube from my smoothie). There’s also a smell that comes when you blend for too long. For the price it’s a good blender. Easy to clean and I like that I can remove the cup and take it with me.

I use this for smoothies and shakes. It is so convenient and easy to use. Convenient for single servings. This works best with softer fruits. Not heavy duty. Great for what I needed.

Works great 👍 👌 👏 Great price an quality an east to wash I love it an so does my family

I think this might be great for blending straight up liquids, or maybe liquid and a dusting of flavored powder. I purchased it for my Daily Harvest smoothies - essentially frozen fruits and vegetables that I blend with milk or water. Even if I completely thawed the frozen product out (ew), I'm not sure this blender could handle it. Which is fine, as long as you know what you're getting into. In my case, the blender would immediately whir to a frenzied rotation, rejecting anything but liquid and relegating the other items to the top - out of reach of those sinister blades. Aside from the fact that my frozen items were not getting blended, I think the must troubling aspect here was the absolutely frightful sound of a small kitchen appliance out of control - the stuff of nightmares. The aggressive, high-pitched whir was not only incredibly loud and piercing, but seemed disturbed, or vengeful - as if indicating its anger that I'd asked it to blend something including frozen fruit. Almost like it didn't want to work, or was on break, or wanted overtime pay which would be...what? It was a ransom I couldn't satisfy. Every second or so - and by "or so" I mean less than a second - I'd have to stop the whole operation, smush the frozen items down toward the blades with the handle part of a wooden spoon, then start again - for one second. Now, I like to think of myself as a helper — a collaborator, if you will. I'm happy to pitch in and, frankly, flattered just to be included in the process. But this dance was increasing the task's time to about 90 minutes, and I was very late to work on all the days. I'm still trying to streamline things and to be a good helper because the blender is cute (I have the pink to match the eventual smoothies) and practical (the blender cup itself is also a to-go cup with a handy little click-open, secure top that includes the perfect sized opening for sipping! And it almost - almost! - fits in my car's cup holder!). Now, while this plaintive whir is waking my whole neighborhood, I can be confident that I'll know the precise moment when the smoothie is ready thanks to a secret feature unmentioned anywhere in the item's description or instructions (or warnings). It's subtle, and relies not on visual or audible clues. Instead, it uses your senses of smell and touch to indicate smoothie readiness: the unmistakable, acrid fragrance of burning plastic and the searing heat felt when holding the motorized part of the blender down (holding for dear life, I might add, to prevent a reenactment of "Attack of the Mediocre Blender" - the old-timey black-and-white film favorite I'm sure you've all seen). And I've misspoken, because there is an accompanying visual clue: a growing band of white smoke emanating from the little vents (yes, vents for this warning smoke are built in and free with purchase!) and rapidly approaching smoke alarm activation level. Such fun features that innovate by relying on new senses for you to detect that the blending is complete and you don't go a second past the 90-minute blending time, allowing you to enjoy your long-awaited smoothie. Which by now, is warm and has a smoky flavor that does a great job of masking the kale they try to sneak into these smoothies to make them "healthier." No flies on me - I now have a warm, smoky smoothie that tastes as healthy as a cigarette butt! So there, kale! I write this in good fun. You get what you pay for: an adorable blender for liquid and powder (and nothing more) engineered to act as it's own travel mug. Avoid frozen items and ice and you'll love this little gem! ;)

I have too much of an attachment to this blender. From the price point, the ease of use, the reliability whatever it is.. it’s just perfect. I make a protein shake everyday with a few ice cubes, protein powder, a banana, and milk. There is no other blender I would want. I even had this same exact one in red for YEARS and it still worked perfectly fine but for some reason I donated it ??? I just thought I’d buy a more expensive “better” branded one but why?? Well I missed it so much I had to buy a new one. I accidentally dropped the cup and the bottom is cracked now BUT it still works just fine and I love it. I clean it with a big bottle brush after use. I will always rebuy this cheap blender because it is the best for my daily shakes and I love it.

Perfecta, compacta, muy potente y no es ruidosa. Y el color le da un toque único. Me gustó mucho, es una excelente compra, la recomiendo mucho.

Smoke coming out with the first use. Very disappointing.

Excelente compra! Prático, fácil e eficiente! Ótimo preço. Recomendo!!

One of my fav brand!!

Super practica, me encantó solo cuando es polvo hay que primero diluirlo si no se pega
