Mueller Smoothie Blender for Smoothies - Personal Blender for Shakes, Frozen Drinks, Baby Food & More, 15oz Travel Cup and Lid, Durable Stainless Steel Blades for Powerful Blending Performance, Red

This is a super little product. It feels durable, and blends fruit and vegetables smoothly and powerfully. While the resulting Cup of Disgust may live up to its name, it's not the fault of this nifty space saving device. It cleans up easily and can be taken on the road or stored in the fridge. This was a great purchase and I would buy again.

I love this little blender. I make fruit smoothies most mornings and it is the perfect size. It is quiet and works well. I have had it for several months and it is quite durable. Great price and fast shipping.

After buying and returning two other, more expensive rechargeable brands, I decided to take a chance on this corded one. I'm both glad and sorry I did. I'm glad that it works beyond my expectations; easily producing excellent smoothies. I'm sorry because I didn't buy the slightly more expensive version that comes with an extra travel cup. The downside of using the blender cup for travel is that I'm lugging around the bottom part containing the blades that's permanently attached. Not only does this make it more difficult to drink every drop, it creates a cleaning problem. The instructions say to clean the cup ASAP after use by adding a little watter and dish soap and running the blender a few seconds, then rinse. But when on the go, I have neither the motor base nor any dish soap. The solution was easy enough, I guess. I just pour the smoothie into a travel mug so I can clean the blender immediately after use. This is probably a better solution, as the travel cup that comes with the more expensive version appears to be uninsulated. While that solution is easy enough, be advised there is no way to actually get to the blades, as they are part of the permanent base of the cup. That cost a star, as I'm worried something might damage one of the four blades or get stuck on one, like a nut, for example. Also, the instructions say to add no more than four, one inch square ice cubes. I actually had to buy a dollar store cheapie ice tray just to make chilled smoothies using some of the 10 recipes the excellent manual has in the back. The manual, by the way, is well illustrated and in English, not a translation. The manual lists the manufacturer with a CA address, but one reason I decided to try this blender is because the name suggests it is a German company. The manual confirms this, because the U in the name on the cover has the two dots above it as is common in German. Would I buy this again? Probably not. This was my first experience making or even drinking smoothies. I didn't realise that smoothies tend to contain a lot of foam, so I'm out of smoothie before I'm satisfied. My next one will be at least a 24 ounce one. But for the price, and as long as you don't want a big gulp size smoothie, this inexpensive blender is a gem.

I didn't give this 5 stars for 3 flaws I believe it has 1) if used consistently regularly (1/2 times a day) eventually the lid begins not to seal/sit properly. 2) there is no way to completely disassemble for a thorough cleaning 3) Ive checked several places ( Including the manufacturer'a website) and you don't seem to be able to buy additional/replacement cups without replacing the entire assembly. Great tool if you want to see if you'll use it, at a good price point! I have gotten more than my monies worth out of it. But, not necessarily for long-term everyday use.

So far I really like this blender. I can use frozen or fresh fruit and I don't have to cut it up in small pieces or anything. I just tap on the button a few seconds at first to get it to start cutting everything up or to pulse, then I hold the button down to finish the blending. Takes less than a minute. Its also easier on your blender to do it that way if your not cutting things into to pieces. It's easier on the motor and also the pieces around your cutting blades, especially if your using ice. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I'm glad I chose this one. It's the perfect size for what I was needing and the price was good at time of purchase.
