Pros:
Coolest for one person or two |
|
|

Cons:
motor burn up within 30 uses It's a great little blender, but not strong at all, so I found out, when it started "smoking". The motor burnt up after only about 30 uses.
Going to try to return to Hamilton Beach.

Pros:
Great job blending small frozen fruit |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Have to keep pulsing it I had a mini/travel Juiceman, but it was only good for mixing powder and liquid. This little blender was the stuff of my dreams. Small. Easy to clean. Blends up small pieces of frozen fruit extremely well. Gives a nice froth. I can drink out of the container meaning one item less to wash. Makes 1/10th of the noise of my full-size blender which is great for my neighbors. Yes, the motor does smell a bit hot when you keep the button pressed down, but when you pulse it - as the button actually says - it's fine. I bought this 3 weeks ago at a garage sale and have used it every day. I'll buy another if this one ever croaks.

It does not take up a lot of space. Simple! Simple!!!! |
|
|

Cons:
I need one for work I wanted to eat more fruits. This is a great way to create a healthy drink. Soy yogurt, fruit and honey.
I'm off to work in minutes. This was a "Valentines" gift.
Love It

Pros:
An absolutely great product |
|
|
|
Cons:
No down side How often to you want a quick pick-me up smoothie or protein shake but can't stand the thought of cleaning out the blender afterwards; so, you pass.
This solves all those problems and is portable. Easy to use; travels well; and, quick and easy clean-up. Just like rinsing out a glass.
I am buying at least two or three: one for home; one for work; one to travel.
Best product to make life easier that I have found in years!

Pros:
Simple to use, Easy to Store |

| Cons:
Less power Cooking for one or two can be a challenge, and having a lot of additional appliances in an apartment just creates clutter -- so this "personal blender" was the way to go for me. The size is the obvious plus, and can be easily stored away in the most packed of cabinets. Throwing together a smoothie, milkshake or frozen drink is a snap -- although I'm not sure how this model would perform in more creative food processing tasks. You have to be sure to chop your ingredients a little smaller than you would in a full size blender, or the blade gets stuck. The power issue comes in a bit as well in moving the ingredients around the pitcher. Overall, a great compromise for a small household. I used this also to grind coffee beans (as is mentioned in the manual). It did an ok job, but the grounds were coarser than you'd get with a dedicated grinder, even leaving bits of bean unground. It is handy in a pinch for this use, but I don't think I'd rely on this if you grind your own beans on a regular basis. Also, the plastic cup makes cleaning up the coffee residue a bit more difficult than a steel or glass pitcher.
