[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is a very attractive unit, it takes up very little counter space and the blending power is fantastic for such a small unit, also doesn't make the noise a regular blender makes due to the sound sheild feature,also it has the blend and go jar which makes this the perfect blender for single use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another great appliance to add to my collection!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my blenders a lot making smoothies and spice blends to just name a few things I do with my blenders. The very best feature I love about this model is how easy it is to clean. There are no wells in the blade cup that are impossible to clean, the blade cup is all one piece and it's smooth throughout. The travel cup is smooth with no ridges where food particles can get stuck and hard to get to when cleaning so it is very easy to clean.
Even though the blender is a bit bigger than I thought it was in the picture it's still slimmer than most models and fits nicely on the counter and I'm considering getting a second blender to keep in our travel trailer. The travel cup is a good size with a large opening for drinking with a little handle for carrying. I tried tipping the cup upside down and nothing leaked out, another plus. I tried this with smoothie and water when I was washing it.
I didn't think the quiet shield did a great job of dulling any noise but I did like the smoothie button to keep the blender quieter when used in the early morning hours. It starts and stops mixing slowly and then senses it's ready to go and starts blending. It is easily stopped and started using any of the buttons and the pulse/blend buttons are large push tabs which is also a feature I like.
Since I have my own way of ordering ingredients when making smoothies I used the suggested order of ingredients written on the travel cup and although it's a good suggestion I preferred my own order of ingredients, not a big deal at all because the blender will still make a great smoothie.
I have tried many blender over the years and for a personal blender this does a great job and looks like it'll be easy to travel with and very easy to clean.

Powerful Smoothie Maker but rather Tall and Bulky

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw the description of this Blender with a 20 oz cup, I thought to myself great; a nice compact small machine I can make smoothies with. But when it arrived I was a bit overwhelmed to se it was 16" high ! And rather heavy. So my original plans for a machine I could pull in and out of my cabinets easily went bye-bye. This machine requires a permanent location on my kitchen countertop.
That being said, the reason the base motor unit is so large is because it is very powerful. It chops up veggies and fruits effortlessly, eats through ice cubes in a flash, and blends blends blends. Performance is 5 stars. But you need a place to keep it on your countertops, so if space is limited, it might be in your way. It is also rather loud, despite having a sound shield system which does lower the noise level, but conversation must still wait till blending is finished anyway.
But the smoothies are delicious. Had it been more compact, I would have rated it 5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this recently and tried it out for the first time today. Made a smoothie in it with peanut butter, Greek yogurt, ice, milk, and cocoa powder. It handled all of that like a boss!

Smoothies and much much more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smoothies and much much more!
So many features I like about this blender.
Don’t limit yourself to just smoothies. You will be missing out. I have also made salad dressings, creamy sauces, dips, hummus.
Just remember that you can only do cold foods since it doesn’t vent like a full size blender. That has not been a problem for me. If you want something warmed just give the food a quick zap in the microwave or stir into your hot pasta, veggie or meat dish.
Perfect size for blending smaller amounts. My big blender is great but if you just want to make a cup or two you don’t need the big blender jar taking up space in the dishwasher.
This has earned a permanent place on the counter and doesn’t take up a lot of space. So many great features at a reasonable price.
The quiet shield really makes a difference. I tried it with and without and was impressed.
The blender jar has an ingredient list printed on the side that shows the order things should be added so I never get it wrong on a sleepy morning or hectic evening. No more digging out the instruction manual if I’m not sure!
I love the fruit or green smoothie auto selection. It’s those little things that make a big difference. It will go through a series of pulses to ensure everything has been mixed then switches to a final blend mode and then stops automatically. No more standing around turning you blender on and off. But if you want to keep an eye on something you have the option of running it manually.

Amazing power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this blender. I make a lot of smoothies, especially when the grand children are here. Frozen fruit and ice cubes get blended perfectly. Not 1 chunk of ice left. I normally had pea sized or larger chunks of ice left when I made smoothies in my full size blender. And the simplicity of using This blender is great. Push the button, it does the rest. No worries of over or under blending. I did have to try different amounts of liquids to get the right consistency, but that's normal. I don't even use the noise shield. It's not nearly as loud as my previous blenders. I can't say anything negative about this
blender. I am very pleased with it. Cleaning it is so simple that I don't even bother putting it in the dishwasher. Love this little machine!!

Space Age Looking Blender

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little blender has power! It blends fruit (fresh or frozen), seeds, ice, yogurt and protein powder with no problem.
It clearly labels minimum and maximum amounts so you never have spills or overflows and the jar lists items in order of placement to take the guesswork out. Or if you are forgetful like me and don't remember if fresh fruit goes first before the seeds.
The blending jar/cup comes with a flip-top lid. The best part of the top - you can snap the lid open to prevent it from hitting you in the face as you enjoy your drink.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quiet shield - it's definitely not as noisy and disturbing to sleeping family members as other blenders.
The blade is very easy to clean with a quick hand wash.
I don't mind having this blender on my counter because it just looks cool.
