I really like the compact size of this unit. I especially like that it comes with five cups. The only downside is that the lids do not close all the way. Once my breakfast smoothie ingredients settle I can't shake the cup or stuff comes out of the opening in the lid. Otherwise it's perfect!
This blender works okay but I bought it because I wanted it to chop ice and it got a high rating for that. I’m only chopping about 4 ice cubes at a time in the travel cup. The blender still leaves some larger pieces of ice. Maybe it works better with larger amounts of ice in the bigger blender container, but I haven’t tried that since I only need a small amount of ice for the single serving of soft serve ice cream that I’m making. I am disappointed that it doesn’t chop the ice finer.
I bought this so I could have a blender on our boat without taking up too much room. Both my husband and I are enjoying smoothies and love the handy travel cup. This has the power and convenience for us!
My husband makes shakes with this several times a day. We have 2 homes & have one for each house. Just ordered a 3rd one to have in case one breaks down. We've had the 2 for over 11 each & no problems.
Its not very powerful, mine broke down within a couple of uses. It doesnt chop well. It waa replaced by cuisinart and have not used new one. Customer service at Cuisinart is great.
