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

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.

Smaller but perfect for what I need making smoothies. Blend speed, quality and noise are all good.

Love this blender. Easy to use and clean. It blends like a dream and the built quality is perfect. No Leakage what so ever. Functionality is perfect for my 13-year-old to do himself. Blen power is perfect and no smell while blending.

I would say this is a pretty great blender it is super easy to work and has a really great quality and speed I will say the only thing is it is really small I feel like in the picture it does make it look bigger then it actually is but so far me and my family have had no issues

It is perfect for my morning smoothie. Blends everything perfectly. Easy to store and I like the way the cord wraps up out of the way. I like everything about it.

Great blender as soon as I got it I try it out amazing, blends all the ice and fruit well great speed. But before you use it make sure you lock the cup in place, or it won't turn on which is a great safely Feature for me safely first. Especially if you have kids they can't turn on the blender amazing item I highly recommend this item price was great. Also the best protein plant base in the picture

So far so good. But one must not use it too often . It might break within 6 months if used daily

I tried two other mini blenders this one is the best . It does what it says, for a blender under 15.00. the other mini blenders motor will start to smell after continuous use. I had this same model for more than 2 yrs before it gave out. This is a good use of your money.
