I use this portable blender every single time that I need a blender. Example, shakes, blending a soup, mixing different components, etc. I love this blender.
I make my morning protein drink in this with 2 ice cubes that are crushed in a few seconds. I love the blender jar attachment. I made hummus the other day in less than a minute!
We've had our Cuisinart Portable Blender for several months now & are very happy with it. We've had other brands where the rubber gaskets failed really soon. The Cuisinart is holding up very well we use it 5-7 times per week.
